Update 2!!!

Hey everyone, got exciting news...I am only $1000 away from my goal. With my hard work in working 2 jobs coupled with the contributions from people around me (love you guys), and the loan I was able to secure for about $2000, I am 100% confident that I will reach my goal! I am deeply moved by all the help I have been getting and I am very appreciative to all the people that have informed me and given me advice on certain issues for when I travel to China. It is set, I leave August 19 in the morning. Thanks again everyone! I owe this soon-to-be life experience to your help and magnanimous support.
