Greetings from China.
I have only few moments in between classes, but now that the internet is finally up in my room, I thought I'd write a little bit and let people know that I'm alive.
I am alive, you know.
Beijing is...massive and overwhelming and confusing and dense and many, many things. I've now been here for a week, and aside from some obligatory sightseeing (Forbidden City, Tian'An Men, and the Summer Palace) I've stuck fairly close to the Beida's campus...with 14,000 students, it has a semester's worth of places to explore alone.
I've already had a variety of memorable experiences including good food, many offers for language help, curious looks, misunderstandings, and discoveries. every day is certainly a new adventure.
I'm getting acclimated, slowly but surely...I already feel more comfortable here than I did a week ago...and I hope that as my language skills improve, this will continue at a faster pace.
Off to Modern Chinese History...I'll write more soon.
君宁
