hey everybody, its me, haley with a china trip update.
to start off we(ok people) arrived in China tired but thrilled to finally have arrived in beijing. we had a chinese buffet type dinner immediately upon arrival and then went to an information session with the rest of the students who had arrived earlier. our rooms were cool. they had airconditioning which was very very appreciated. we(the ok people and the hawaii group) left for Xian on tuesday after having visited the great wall( i didn't realize that the wall was steps) and the forbidden city. the forbidden city was huge and it rained off and on during the day. the chinese people were hilarious. most either stared at us or asked for our picture which we obligingly gave. we are in xian now. the facilities are like that of a hotel.(2 beds, ac, balconies in some,private bathrooms) we visited the wild goose pagoda to see music water fountains. we ended up running through them to the delight(and horror) of the chinese people and our teachers. that's all for now,
zai jian,

How many different cities will you guys be in? Also, the Forbidden City, imho, is boring. But then again, I was 12 at the time and had the attention span of a goldfish.
To answer: We will be going to henan next and then after that back to beijing. so, 1 more after this one but we'll have been in 3 different cities when the trip is over. The Forbidden City wasn't boring, but it was loooooong. you couldn't just stop midway through and leave. it still was pretty cool in the sense that people actually lived there. hard/horrible to imagine even with it being so big.
