My trip to Beijing this summer. It was really cool, and I went to all the major attractions - The Great Wall, The Forbidden City, Ming Tombs, the Olympic Stadium...
I didn't really take pictures at night, but the nightlife there is really exciting.

The day we left China the subway stations machines finally started to work.
While we were waiting for the train the train officials rounded some people up and made them weigh their luggage. Oddly only Chinese people were ordered to weigh in.
When we got on the train the beds had no sheets. They c…

The last week or so in Beijing has been great. It hasn't been hard adjusting at all. After a few days of rainy weather, it has become a lot more stable and either it isn't as smoggy or it isn't bothering me as much. I am also getting the hang of campus (I got lost a lot...) and ri…

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this yet, but an American tourist was killed in China while visiting a famous tourism site. His wife was also attacked and still might die.
Maybe if it hadn’t been during the Olympics, this wouldn’t be a big news deal, but there’s a famous saying that g…
