Well it's been a while since I've posted, so I figured I'd give everyone a quick update.
A few weeks ago I moved into my new apartment in Xizhimen. It was sad to leave Jiaodaokou but I think Xizhimen will be amazing! Our apartment is soooooo much better than our last one. We live on the 5th and 6th floors of our building (that's right, our apartment has 2 floors!). It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There's a really nice living room, a cool chandelier over the staircase, and a pretty decent size TV. The best part of it all is we have our own private balcony on the roof that looks out over the north west part of the city. This place is awesome! We definitely have the nicest apartment out of all of the students here!
Last week I went to the Fragrant Hills and Beijing Botanical Gardens. It was a pretty nice trip! The Fragrant Hills is a very popular place this time of year as everyone wants to see the leaves turning colors. We had to travel a pretty long distance to get there. But it was worth the trip. There were a few temples, and a really nice park to visit. After that we went to the Botanical Gardens to check it out just before it closed. We didn't get to see all the really cool stuff as it had closed already. There was a lot of impressive shrubbery and flowers.
Last night we went to the famous Laoshe Teahouse. It was pretty cool. There were kungfu shows and elabrote tea ceremonies. This is apparently a pretty popular place. They had a lot of photos of famous people that have visited over the years.
