Finally a Bar with Wireless Access....
Hello all!
We've finally found a place with wireless. So we're sitting here listening to the Mambo Kings and trying to order food and drinks. I have lots of pictures from the last few days and will post those as soon as I get the batteries in the camera charged up.
So much has happened in the last few days and so much happens in one day. Up at 7 am for a 10 yuan breakfast of eggs, buns with brown bean paste, pineapple and tomatoes. This costs about $1.12 and is good but getting old after 4 straight days. After that its off to class for four hours, yes, four hours. Most of it is pretty interesting but its a long time to sit still in a hot room for 4 hours. Then we go to lunch somewhere on campus (More about the food later....) Then at 1:30 its time to get on the bus and go to a cultural site for a few hours. Then dinner and maybe some drinks and snacks. Usually I'm wiped out from the day and head back to the room, wash my feet and go to bed. Then do it all over again......
Our rooms are nice by Beijing standards -- air conditioning, color tv, and a mini-fridge. But its certainly no 4 star hotel. Although there's hot water for tea and the beds are ok. Hopefully there will be a few pictures to share later....
Also next weekend I will be heading to Xian to see the Terra Cotta warriors. This weekend we head to the Great Wall. So much happens in one day its hard to keep up with it all.
I guess that's all for now. I plan to write more regularly since I have a nice place to go now and get online. Hope everyone is well and I miss everyone!
