Last Day in Naptown

It is my last day in Indiana, and I can barely believe it's real!  As I finish packing my under-50lb suitcase (most of the weight is peanut butter, 3 different types of Reese's, popcorn, and jello for my host family, although Coconut really wanted to help lighten the load), I am starting to feel nervous for the first time.  I found out recently who my host family is, but as I have not been able to contact them, I don't know whether I have a sibling or not; I really hope so since I plan on getting most of my cultural cues from him or her.  I am so excited to experience a lifestyle totally different from my usual.

At www.greatfirewallofchina.org you can test any website and see if it is censored in China.  It was kind of fascinating for me to check all of the social networking sites and note the extent to which China monitors the internet.
