>i called, You answered, i wanna be where You are

The taxi driver did not have any clue as to where Beijing Institute of Education was. Was not sure of what kind of building to expect. Turns out the institution is right next door to a few huge wholesale markets! Yay more shopping! Even though it was my first time in Beijing, as soon as I stepped out of the airport, I had already grown a liking to this city. Beijing, the capital of China, I’m finally here! Looked at the city on the map and indeed, the city looks like it is enclosed by gate within gate, quite interesting. The institution is situated towards the left of the city centre.

The dormitories aren’t that bad. Although they aren’t as big or nicely furnished as the Hangzhou ones, they are still good enough. Only thing is, the bathroom constantly smells due to bad sewerage (I think), and our bed sheets are only changed once a week.

The people in Beijing are generally quite polite and friendly. I also think the Beijing accent sounds nice haha. The temperature is much warmer than I expected! It feels like Beijing is warmer than Nanjing! Just wearing a thick woolen jumper and feather down jacket is warm enough. The weather is meant to be around -10 to -5, so this is the coldest temperature I’ve ever lived in. It doesn’t feel that cold though. The sky is actually blue and sometimes sunny. I quite like this weather (: I reckon I could live in Beijing long term. Really want to to go Harbin and visit the ice sculptures. However plane tickets during this time of the year are extraordinarily high. Don’t think I’ll be able to go this time round. Maybe next time.

Was already given a report to write on the first day of speaking class! My two friends and I were to read a 15 page article and write a report on it. We were only give 2 days to write this so ended up staying up until 1am that morning finishing it. Had to present the report in class later.

Twisted my right foot on Friday morning! Can’t believe this, it’s the worst I’ve ever hurt my foot! Could not walk for the whole day. Today is Saturday, my foot’s a lot better, after various treatments: cold pack, heat pack, red flower oil and chinese sticky plaster. But still hurts so stayed in the dorm the whole day. Can’t make it to the Great Wall and Olympic Stadiums tomorrow, planning to continue resting. I really want to go to the Great Wall and Olympic Stadiums though! It’s so sad, the first time I come to Beijing and I miss this ): Reminds me of the annual Adventure World excursion in Physics Year 12; it’s something that everyone looked forward to. I had never been to Adventure World before so was quite excited. However on the day of the excursion, I fell sick! So ended up staying home that day. I had already paid the fee too, but luckily received a refund. Things like these always seem to happen to me!
