1 week to go!

So this time next week I'll be double checking all my packing before flying 13 hours to the other side of the world... It's finally hit me how massive this is!

l pick up my money today, the majority of my clothes are packed, along with suncream, insect repellant, toothpaste, toiletries.

All I need to do is put all my planning in order and make sure I've got all the resources!

I've started putting plans together for the final week travelling around Beijing and Hongkong-Youth hostels & trains & all the things I want to see!

I can't believe that it's only next week! ARGH!!!!

2 weeks to go...

So two weeks to this minute I will be on my way to the FiredUp Corporation offices for a press conference before flying that evening to Paris then Guangzhou! All the lessons are planned, equipment ordered, resources being collected as we speak and clothes ready to pack! 

It's started to hit me now that I'll be away from my nice comfy bed, nice cosy bedroom, and amazing boyfriend and family for 2 and a 1/2 months... and that's terrifying! 

We've come up with a Journey themed show based around 'Harmony' which includes Caliph dancing, bucket drumming, singing, homemade percussion instruments and props, and 150 non-english-speaking children! As well as hoping to teach individual flute, guitar and keyboard lessons and have each child record a CD of them playing!

No pressure what-so-ever!

Until I get there now, there isn't much to report - but I'm sure once the jet lag has worn off and the chaos has begun there will be a fair few more blog posts - more interesting than these!!
