1 week left in Beijing!

I can't believe 7 weeks have past already. It seems I arrived in Beijing yesterday. My parents are back in New York and greatly enjoyed their time in China. Friday night was my program's talent show. It was a lot of fun. The other second year students and I sang "Dui mian de nu hai kan guo lai". I also performed some Nan Quan (Southern Fist) with the other three students in my Kung Fu class. Went on my last organized class trip for this summer this morning. We went to the Temple of Heaven, which was pretty similar to the other Qing Dynasty architecture we'd seen (Summer Palace and Forbidden City). Finished off the afternoon with a trip to this flee market. I got a this great green silk suite with a dragon on it. It reminded me of what we wore for the Kung Fu performance. It was a little expensive (100 RMB) and the pants a little tight on my waste and a little long, but I can get it tailored. Or even better give it to my brother, who might actually be the perfect size. Looking foward to the last week in Beijing, polishing up my Chinese, and whatnot. I probably won't post here while in Manchuria or Sichuan but I will post several epic blog posts when I get back to the states, as well as a few hundred photos.
