... been afraid of being too far behind the other students, but there are a lot of people at right about my level. We all have different pools of knowledge because we've come from different programs, but I don't feel so intimidated as I used to because the different experiences mean that sometimes I don't know things they do but sometimes I know things they don't. Things go fast paced, we already had our first test. I felt I did alright on it ...

... going to have a meltdown in front of hundreds (thousands? that square was packed with people) of Chinese travelers. I could already see people staring at me, I didn't need to make it worse. "Nope, there won't be tears, if the cabs don't take me to my hotel, I will get to it on my own". "And with style... pink hat and scarf on, chin up, I will pull that damn suitcase and won't show how tired my right arm is" -thank God for all the strength training classes I've ...

... veti oman satsinsa kiltisti naamaan, vaikka jonkin nakonen kasvissyoja on olevinaan ;) Tltiin takas hostellille ja otettiin sit kuitenkin 12 hengen dormi, kun vaan siina oli kaks sankyy vapaana samassa huoneessa.

... its full potential." To which Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang replied, in a statement translated into English by the Associated Press: "The Chinese government puts people first, and is dedicated to maintaining and promoting its citizens' basic rights and freedom.

... guy who was just sitting in a posing way in his underwear in a completely empty bus. It was a fun ride back, getting to enjoy a little bit of what China looks like outside the city.

On our way to our next destination, we stopped at a place called the "Beijing Friendship Store" for lunch. Our restaraunt was convinitently located at the back of the store, so we got to walk by all of the merchandice before being able to sit down and eat. Understandibly, we all ...

... Summer Palace, you can find them all detailed. If you're looking for something different, you've come to the right place. Our Beijing Sights section can introduce you to things that you've never ...

... of the world's finest breweries make their escape in every direction possible. An army of pretty waitresses dispatch themselves to the readily available mops and towels and they start to clear the mess, as my Aussie neighbors laugh and apologize with equal gusto. I tell them it is nothing, and they buy me a beer. I lingered in the wild atmosphere as long as the burger remained, but by the time Everton was down 3 - nil, I was back to cold, and the long walk home...

... car park, relatively uncrowded. We spent about 2 hours on the wall and even moved past the end orf the renovated section , onto some of the wall that had not been repaired.

Would love to come back another time and explore, maybe walk for a couple of days and camp on section of the ...

... for things. It feels like I'm keeping them in poverty somehow. I bought a tea pot the next day for $1.35 and I didn't even bother bartering, because it felt too horrible. We went home and while my folks and the aunties went for some food at the hotel restaurant, David and I wandered across the street to a shopping mall that looked like it might have restaurants. We couldn't find them... so we followed a couple who were all dressed up and looked like they knew where they ...

Men søndag aften kl 22.45 var jeg fremme i Beijing, hvor jeg blev hentet på stationen af Cathrine fra min klasse, hvorefter vi blev kørt til en midlertidig lejlighed som vi delte med to koreanske fyre, lidt underligt. Mandag mødtes vi med Sine fra vores klasse til morgenkaffe, hvorefter Cathrine og jeg tog in ...
