>Your grace has found me just as i am, empty handed but alive in Your hands
>i called, You answered, i wanna be where You are
>i am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, vapour in the wind. still You hear me when i call out, Lord you catch me when i'm falling and you tell me who i am, i am Yours
>Broken hearts become brand new, that's what faith can do
>A thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains. And should i stumble again, still i'm caught in Your grace.
>My heart will sing, no other name, Jesus.
>If i had wings i would fly, coz all that i am, You are. If the world caved in around me, to You i'd still hold on.
>Your light will shine when all else fades
>i'm running to Your arms, i'm running to Your arms. The riches of Your love will always be enough.
>我们不是你和我
>活在第一次的见面里
>只要你一个眼神肯定，我的爱就有意义
>爱转角遇见了谁，是否有爱情的美。爱转角以后的街，能不能有我来陪。

The past four weeks in Beijing have been absolutely amazing! I’ve enjoyed pretty much every part of it: sightseeing, eating, classes, shopping. I’ve never been to Beijing before and was very excited to come to the ‘Captial’. Indeed Beijing met my expectations, although one thing I regret is not eating at nicer restaurants more.

If I have to say what was not so good, there were two main things. One: the dormitory bathroom; Our drain kept clogging up and one time it flooded half our room. We had to soak the water up with toilet paper and mop the floor multiple times. It was pretty gross. Two: sickness; normally people would get colds or flus during winter, but I twisted my foot instead. I think the reason why I didn’t get the cold is because I’d already caught it in Hangzhou, so my body was a bit more immune to it. I’m normally very vunerable to colds and flus. I also got mild food poisoning during the trip and that wasn’t too great.

However, even though these mishaps happened, I’m still thankful that they did happen because I managed to rest up and get a lot of time to myself. Otherwise we would be going out everyday, and not having time to chill and just relax. Read quite a bit during the week I was unable to walk. It was really good just having quality time to myself, after one and a half months.

I find Beijing people more friendly than Hangzhou people. Especially taxi drivers. In Hangzhou you had to ask the taxi driver to come down and help you with luggage. The Beijing drivers did it very willingly and without being asked! On the day we left Beijing, we were looking for a taxi to go to the airport (obviously), the place we stay is not on the main road so it is a bit hard to get taxis there. Nevertheless we waited because our luggage was too heavy for us to walk far. After several taxis driving past but already with passengers, I was starting to get a bit worried, so I prayed. Straight away, an empty taxi comes along, the driver winds down the window and says, ‘I’m only going to the airport’. Woah thank God! The driver even let all three of us on, including our luggages. He was super friendly too (: What a blessing (:

I’ll definitely come back to Beijing again. Either for work or holiday. There are many more places I want to visit in Beijing. When I told my mum I didn’t go to the Great Wall due to twisting my foot, she said, “it’s ok, next time we’ll go together”, because she’s never been to Beijing before. I was quite touched when she said that. The sky in Beijing is surprisingly very blue, compared with the amount of cars and pollution in the city. If I live in China in the future, I’ll definitely take public transport everywhere. Think I’ll kill myself if I drive.
