My first blog (Beijing inspired)

I just got back from a few days in Beijing.

not stressing. it's just my reading face.

You should see how many photos I took, in a reasonably short time. So I've been up late organising them on my computer, and sending a few to my mum, blah blah blah. Mum sent me the blogsite of my Uncle Dave and Aunt Julie and cousin Esther. They're in Europe, and having some great adventures. So I got to thinking I could save some time in the long run if I spent a little now, setting up my own blog. Now I can write to everyone at once.

So I'm going to put some photos up. Later.

I've had a fast week this week. Meaning I realise it's already Friday and I'm sure I just had a weekend. If the weather permits, a beach trip tomorrow will definately be in order. I have to work on Sunday though, to make up a class I missed last week to meet Steph and Steve in Beijing. Was well worth it. We saw the forbidden city, the great wall, tiananmen square...yadda yadda yadda, the best was the food and the people. They were really patient which I hadn't been expecting from the stories I'd heard. And we enjoyed a lot of sichuan food.

I even ran into my friend/old flat-mate who'd left Taipei two months ago and had been travelling around China since.

I had no idea he was still there, and reckon if we'd tried to meet up it wouldn't have happened. BIZaRRO.

My future became a little clearer with this trip. I definately want to keep studying Chinese and try to use it to my advantage during the Olympic Games in 2008.
