Another week in the history books. It seemed like I was making friends from all over the world except from china until this week. I was able to meet with a girl to help with my Chinese and help her with her English and she shows up with two of her roommates. Then when I return home the rest of her roommates have sent me emails saying they would also like to help me learn Chinese or just go out and see the sites of Beijing. So we took advantage of this and visited the Lama Temple. It is the biggest Buddhist temple in Beijing. We go to burn Incenses and mediate at all the shrines. It was very cool. I took a quick video of one of the court yards. I was not able to get pictures of the shrines because it is very disrespectful to do so. It snowed here the other day and I think that is something rare. because the Other students were going crazy for it. Everyone was outside in the middle of the night screaming, taking pictures and shooting lasers. I was almost asleep when it began and I was awoken by all the people screaming on the streets. I thought some sort of riot or zombie outbreak had occurred. Well there isn’t much more to report this week. I did also want to congratulate Nate and Tanner on getting engaged this past week.
