My First Post a.k.a. the Brilliant Idea

So I had a brilliant idea as I was waking up this morning...at least I think it's brilliant I haven't been able to bounce it off anyone yet.

In case you don't know me, as a quick background, I have been instructed/invited by my teachers to become a translator &/or travel to China to teach English and learn Tibetan and Chinese (the translator part will come later)

Anyway I am really low on funds and as you can imagine, a trip like this isn't cheap. So one of the things that I think I really need but I really can't afford is a digital camera. I mean wouldn't I be stupid to go romping through China, Tibet, India, Nepal and possibly Sri Lanka and god knows where else without a camera to document the journey?

So as I was waking up I thought, what if I asked people for donations (like a dollar), and got their emails, used the donations to purchase a digital camera, then posted pictures to the blog and sent it to the donaters. People waste more than a dollar everyday, and I could use that (waste) to buy something that is pretty darn expensive but kinda necessary.

So that's it...hopefully this little experiment will go off and you will soon be reading and seeing my little plan in action.
