Friday

On Friday my school took a trip to Bei Hai park. Bei Hai means north
sea, the park is basically a large lake. We walked around, there were
lots of older people dancing, singing, writing characters on the
sidewalk with large brushes and water. I got this guy to write my
name. When they write it is like they are doing Tai Qi and is
interesting to watch.

After BeiHai, a bunch of people from my class went to Bill's
apartment, this guy in my class. He lives right next to Tiananmen
square, in a traditional Hutong. That is basically a courtyard
enclosed by walls with 4 apartments in the courtyard. They are cool.
We grilled burgers and hotdogs. Then I left for my flight to Hong Kong.
