Less than one week!

Can you believe I've been in Beijing since May 9th?! It's been crazy how quickly time flies... I hope you have enjoyed my blog and I have many stories for all of you when I return. We are in the last stretch of my classes (thank goodness!) and have our final this Thursday and final paper due as well! We are trying to see/do everything we want before we leave, yet I feel most of us are ready to come home to a slower pace... at least for a while. It will be nice to relax on the beach and breath better air, though I must say, the air quality has greatly improved since the cloud seeding and the halting of cars on odd/even days (which began last Sunday) even though we have had horrible weather these past few days (the humidity is ridiculous!!) I have no idea how all the athletes are going to handle it... especially the Americans. We have recently learned that all the NBA players and those playing for the American bball team are already here and practicing at Beijing University (which isn't too far away) but the university is on lock down to protect the privacy of the players (including Kobe Bryant bc he seems to be EVERY chinese person's favorite player!)

Anyway, I will post some pictures of random sites through the city and try to give a description. Love to all! see you in less than one week!

Besos!
