With the graduation performance
looming in the near future (June 12th) and the Gao Kao break behind
us, we have one more day of official school, then 7 days of exploring Beijing!
We (除了Jazzylin and J-Bert以外 all
American students) will
create a guide book. During our adventures, I am official photographer, budget
manager, and writer for both the 798 Art District and Kungfu lessons.
On Friday I had dinner with
Carol Ann and two of her friends at the Colored Dumpling restaurant.
Saturday, Kimberly organized a
student + host family event, but my host sister was sick so I went stag. In
groups of four (Abby, Sage, Sage’s host sister, and I) we completed a silly
scavenger hunt including a pyramid with a stranger, teaching Chinese children how
to sing happy birthday, and posing with a bride and groom.
After the scavenger hunt, we rode
rollercoasters, my favorite of which was a giant circular pendulum that spun
and swung at the same time. I basically flew.
At 7:00, we went to Sage’s
hip-hop dance performance then I took the two-hour trip back home. This morning, my host sister had school so we left the house very early, arriving at school
before eight. I climbed the six flights of stairs then fell asleep for another
two hours.
