I made it to Beijing! We got in about 12 AM last night, and by the time we checked into the hotel and my new roomie and I got settled, it was about 1:30, so I only got 6 hours of sleep last night! The hotel is really nice though, so it felt like a lot more. This morning we had some more orientation lectures and a little chinese lesson. After lunch, we went to the Great Wall of China! It was absolutely amazing and the views were breathtaking. It was, however, a HUGE workout! I am definitely going to be sore tomorrow. Here are some pictures from today:
Tomorrow morning I leave for Shanghai! I will finally get to meet my host family and settle in to a normal routine. I am so excited but also really nervous. Wish me luck!
