Placement test, Hutong, Ducks and Rickshaws
Beijing

China
Answers for some questions before I start...
-So when you shower does your whole bathroom get wet?
Yep, but all of the water goes down a hole so we just wear slippers.
-What's McDonald's like there?
It's pretty much the same except the portions are smaller. A super-sized meal in
China
is equivalent to a normal meal in the US, fries and drinks. The burger itself is pretty much the same. I ordered a crispy chicken and it was actually way better than the US version, it was crispier and they didn't use crappy chicken (It wasn't really completely ground up chicken)
So the past few days I..
-Took my placement test and got placed in level 9 class. The highest is 11 and lowest is 3. I'm kinda scared I might not be able to handle it.
-Ate some food that made me go number 2 a couple of times. That was fun. (Not really)
-Met my Chinese tutor, she's really sweet and gave us a tour of the campus. I also found out she's the same age as me.
-Bought a sim card for my phone for local calls.
-Supposedly ate the best Peking duck from... Peking! (aka Beijing)
-Went to traditional old Beijing streets (
Hutong
)
-Went to a tea house where we got to sample some delicious tea. I <3 tea.
-Rode a rickshaw
-Took a boat around Shisha Lake. The boat had a lady playing music for us.
So anyway.. school starts tomorrow!
