Three weeks left

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.  I've been trying to fit in as much sight seeing as possible.

So I don't have any pictures from the summer palace, because I forgot my camera.  Sorry guys!  It was pretty wet and murky that day though, so the pictures wouldn't have been very good anyway.

I also realized how little time I have left in Beijing!!!  I've been here for over 9 weeks and only have three weeks left.  I'm already starting to miss Beijing.  It's griminess and it's glamour have grown on me.  Part of me feels like I've improved my Chinese a lot, and part of me feels like I haven't improved at all.

Last Wednesday we went to a kongfu show, which was a little cheesy, but one of the best shows we went to in China.

On Saturday we went to a buddhist temple; there was nothing particularly memorable about it.  It claims to be the oldest buddhist temple in the city.  On Sunday I returned to the Forbidden City.  I went to the Forbidden City last time I visited China, and it was nice to revisit all the buildings.  I even explored the back area more than last time.

We'll be going to Henan on Thursday, so I'll post a lot more pictures next time.

Back to studying!
