Beijing, China
I am adopted from China and since then have returned four times to travel, visit and study abroad. Most recently I spent my fall 2013 semester at Tsinghua University in Beijing where I rode a bike to school, visited the Gobi desert and practiced Chinese in one of the largest cities in the world.

Tulsa, Oklahoma
I'm from Tulsa, so this city -- as well as its residents --- holds a special place in my heart.

Oh, not only have you been to China, Jessica - you have been to many places in China. Now I am even more jealous! That picture of the Gobi Desert is especially amazing: wow! One of my goals in redoing the "UnTextbook" for this class was to make sure I included some Chinese materials... and maybe you will want to do a Chinese project for class! There are some great mythology and folktale resources for China online... and I bet you heard some great stories on your travels too. Anyway, that's something you can explore if you want as you start thinking about a class project. Enjoy!
