The Adventure Continues...pt2

Continuing from my previous post: Now that I'm over my initial shock of diving head first into a freezing pool called "culture shock", I'm actually really enjoying myself and trying to take in as much as possible.  The food for the most part is really good-of course, most of the time I don't know what I'm eating, so I've been trying to get anything that at least looks good, or something that I'm certain isn't...

Today started out with me going to the little cafe I went to yesterday, and today I had some lovely baked beans and beef on a bed of lo mein as well as a...

A Little Better

Hey family and friends,   Today was a little better compared to the first two days I've been here in Beijing. I met up with a representative from First Leap and she showed me how to use the SubWay system that's across the street. It's strange how modern they are in terms of technology yet they just don't seem to understand the concept of air conditioning. The system was fairly easy to use, and once...
