Today we had a big agenda to fill. I thought we would go visit the Bird’s nest at the Olympic Park, Tian An Men square, the Forbidden City, and San Li Tun.
The Great Wall was one of the top priorities for this trip. I did go last time I was in Beijing but my school organized the trip and I was unsure how we were going to get there this time.
I think this post is more of an update for all the friends that I made at BLCU and me reminiscing about the time that I lived in Beijing for a semester 5 years ago.
It’s kind of funny celebrating my birthday in China while everyone is in a timezone 14 hours behind, it felt my birthday lasted a super long time.
It’s been a VERY long day…I shall explain.
I really don’t know any other way to write the title, I’ll explain.
So I just survived a 16hr flight from chicago to HK. Overall it was a little rough. None of the audio jacks worked in my row so i couldn’t watch the movies.
I have to say this has been the best night sleep since I got to asia. The bed and pillow were super soft and comfy. Slept from 5:30-11:30am and then went downstairs for breakfast/lunch.
