Travel In The USA - Arrival

July 21,2006, After half a year's hard work, we, four students from Nanjing University in China were admitted to take part in the global finals of Microsoft Windows Embedded Student Challenge and IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition. We had prepared for this moment for a long time though we hadn't expected it.
The following series of photos were taken during our stay in the U.S.

We started our journey from Shanghai to the first destination Seattle with a stop in San Francisco.

I agree with you that NJ is nearly a north city. And by the way, do you also come from the north of China?
