What does one pack for a five month trip to China? Worse yet, how does one get all that "stuff" in one suitcase? I was told that the weather in Shenzhen, China is similar to LA. Average temperature in January, for instance, is in the upper sixties. I can live with that weather! I was told by my host in China to pack just a few clothes. She said that clothes are "reasonable" in China. Even with this advice, I still had a table filled with "stuff." My wife was my lifesaver. Somehow she managed to stuff all that "stuff" in one suitcase. I just hope the suitcase survives the trip. I leave on Monday, August 25th and arrive in Hong Kong the next day. Shenzhen University is located about 25 miles north of Hong Kong. I am filled with mixed emotions about leaving my family and friends but look forward to meeting my new students and colleagues.
