Lazy Sundays

Ah, end of week 2 - I think everyone finally got more adjusted to our schedule/overcoming sickness/dealing with stomach issues. M-F is still pretty routine, class in the mornings, lunch, afternoon tutorial, then study, dinner, more studying. This week, we discussed Chinese students' perspectives on America. There are two main views: a hegemonic America and an America that is technologically developed and free society. Our essay for the week was to write about American college students' view of developing China. It was interesting, but I felt like everyone ran out of things to say by the end of the week.

This weekend, our HBA trip was to go see Beijing opera. It was actually really exciting and better than I expected. The singing itself was sometimes painful on the ears and hard to understand, but the stunts and the staged fighting was really entertaining. Below are some pictures.

PS - we keep running into random Yale kids in Beijing - whether it's ACC kids, PIB, or Bulldogs people. This includes random clubs, shopping centers, etc. It's quite fascinating how much Yale is invading Beijing hah.

The food they gave us.

Some cool/crazy acrobatic stuff with "arrows".

Some HBAers - more fun times to come...
