Hey everyone! First blog post!

This post: Emory Griffith

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and girls. Fans, parents, friends… beloved pets. I, along with Matt Lorier, Tyler Cuculi, and Tommy Cardle would like to thank you for checking out our blog.  If you didn’t know, we are preparing to embark on an Asian quest that will put our grit, determination, and possibly stomachs to the test. We are going on the “Iron Sharpens Iron: Asia” program offered through Wheaton College. 

Just a little background on our trip: We are part of a group of a group of 10 students that will be visiting Seoul, South Korea, Hong Kong, and several cities in China including Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing. It’s a business/international relations trip, so our group will be visiting factories, businesses, embassies, and churches all over the place.  Needless to say, we’re stoked.

Now you might be asking yourself. “Myself, is this blog worth reading?  Is this a great way to keep up with Emory, Matt, Tyler, and Tommy over the summer?  Should I share this with my friends and coworkers and postmen? Will this be thought provoking and entertaining? Is this introspective interrogation a useful practice?” The answer to all of your questions is YES! We would love for you to follow us as we post updates from around the world. The gameplan is for us to take turns writing about our experiences and posting pictures, humorous anecdotes, and observations. We’ll try to keep the posts short and sweet (and sour) because I know y’all are busy people. (And you only have 30 seconds to browse while your ad on YouTube or Hulu is loading anyways...) 

Anyways, that should do it for my first post. You should be hearing from Matt (aka The Goose) pretty soon. Until next time, have a great summer and live every week like it’s Shark Week.
