China-Beijing

I'm in beijing now staying with one of the top schools here now and its really turning out to be quite fun. Reach here ytd but only managed to use my laptop now because the dorm doesnt have internet access and only can access internet when im in the school itself. So for some reason we are being given time to use our com now and thats why i can blog. Expect more posts from me this 6 weeks while im there cos blogging is only interesting when u have interesting things to blog about.

The moment we got out of the airport ytd I could immediately sense the difference in the air quality. The air there is much more polluted there and no matter where you are as long as you are outdoors you can smell some smoke smell. But its not as bad as I thought because the smoke smell doesnt exactly choke you. Not difficult to breathe if you get what I mean. The weather there is really nice at 12degrees yesterday. It went down to 8 degrees today but its still nice. Now is just the starting of winter so its going to slowly get colder and colder. I'll still be there during the coldest part of the winter so I hope it wont be too bad.

I'm enjoying my stay so far although there have been some minor hiccups like realising I didnt bring my laptop charger but most of it is going well. The dorm we are staying in is quite crammed with 6 people in one small room but its actually quite fun because we ended up playing dota after setting up a LAN network xD Some of us are really quite tired today including me after sleeping so late. We're given quite a lot of freedom over here and during weekends we can go anywhere we want to without teacher supervision.

We are wearing their school uniform so we really blend in quite well. Well..at least until I open my mouth. HAHA but i shall brush up my beijing accent over the six weeks so that I can fully blend in with them. Definitely going to improve my chinese here :D

More posts coming up really soon. I'll try to post ever 2 or 3 days since there are so much cool stuff here! If i can i will upload photos too but I dont think there will be many pictures as my internet here is not that fast so it will take too long. But i'll post the really nice ones once we go sightseeing
