Hello again! Right now I am sitting in the Beijing airport with about 60 of our "scholars". We leave for Hangzhou in roughly 3 hours, bidding adieu to Beijing. The capital has been a wonderful place to explore for the past 10 days. I will try to post pictures later, but here is a list of some of the sites I have seen in China so far. I've been to the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, the zoo to see the pandas (!), the 2008 Olympic Green with the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube and lastly, the Great Wall. I would have to say that the Great Wall was my favorite so far, but being in Tianamen Square felt very overwhelming and surreal. I also loved seeing the pandas and am currently wearing an awesome panda t-shirt from the zoo.
Our flight that leaves soon will go to Hangzhou, which is a beautiful city of 4 million. We spend two days there before heading to Shanghai for our last three days. The program has been fun so far, but we have been working 18 hour days ever since the students arrived. I am very much looking forward to a quiet and relaxing trip to Vietnam.
It is time to check in for the flight now. I hope this post finds you well. More later!
