I currently live in Nanjing, China, in this four-story cement castle near the outskirts of the city. Jogging every morning in this community is free-fallingly refreshing; man-made rivers, paths and no traffic, foot or otherwise. But at night, it’s Resident Evil.

He should have just called me, the private grounds-shipping delivery carrier, but instead thought kicking my front door until the paint on the inside wall chipped off was a better method. I was on the third floor, listening to break-beat and getting ready for bed. It was 7AM. the Traveler in CHINA

So The Traveler has finally arrived in CHINA. And the package could not have been in worse shape. The outside multi-layered wrapping from the previous participant was already gnawed opened. It looked like it had been rolling around in a jungle or laundry mid-cycle, corners moist and sides covered in filth. Nevertheless … things seem to be in order and I have never been more proud. A million thanks to Wojtek Gil and all the participants; our project is a noble one and I will not let you down. Stay tuned!
