hey there, you surely sounds like you are having an amazing time in Beijing! I love the posts you had about the cultural shock too, I am always curious about what Americans will think about a crazily metropolitan city like Beijing. Hope to see more photos from your adventures~!
hmm I don't think we're that close to tiannamen. Where we are is a bit ghetto hehe. We are heading to the summer palace today - i think that's a BOCOG thing...might see you there? Were you at the Peking Duck dinner the other night?
Did I forget to mention that I would be going in support of the Red Sox? I hate the Yankees, but as a baseball fan, I would like to see Yankee stadium in it's last year. I hear some bad stories though about what the Yankee fans to do people supporting the opposing team, especially the sox!
That's great! You'll see some exciting events there! I've got my fingers crossed for swimming...our group has been given a combination of ping-pong, fencing, swimming and wrestling...so yes, hopefully i get the swimming!! Are you guys staying at the Beijing Foreign Studies Uni as well?
