Hey all,
I did China last year and am doing Japan this year. I doubt that the DC orientation will happen this time; as someone else's labmate said, it was really fun! It was also during the Cherry Blossoms festival...
Like Brewbring, I'd love to be wrong though.
I'm waiting on China as well (anyone else going there to do math?) While the waiting is no fun, waiting together with everybody here is definitely better than otherwise. Good luck, everybody! And congratulations to those who have gotten accepted!
