I'll be leaving for 中国 in 六月 for 二 years to serve in the Peace Corps. So. There you go.
The song title translates as "Beijing welcomes you," and I think this is sort of the Chinese equivalent of "It's a Small World." It was composed for the 2008 Olympics and famously sung by 100 of China's biggest celebrities, including Wang Lee Hom, Zhou Bichang, Karen Mok, Jang Nara, Li Yuchun, Zhang Zilin and yes, Jackie Chan. Apparently everyone in China knows it. It's a catchy tune and good Mandarin practice, and I like to think of the lyrics as a good omen for my journey.
