Beijing and I have been especially tired and my stomach hasn't been
particularly settled. Therefore, I have very little of interest to
report from my daily experiences. However, I am going to point out the
news of the riots in China (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8139587.stm). The word is that the government has blocked Facebook
and Twitter to prevent people from knowing about this but they haven't
blocked BBC? Mildly perplexing.
Pictures: the nearest Baozi Pu, a restaurant that specializes in
baozi. I think it's actually part of a chain, but chain fastfood
restaurants in China make food that is fabulously tasty and not fake
the way fastfood is in America. Probably because all of those baozi
(steamed bread dumplings with varying kinds of stuffing) are made
right there by a little baozi-making army, minutes before you eat
them. 6 baozi is about 6 kuai; approximately 1 US dollar. Therefore,
with less than 2 dollars I can be very happy and full. [If you're not
jealous, you should be.]
Also, the street leading in from the nearest entrance/exit to my
university campus to my dorm. It's often very pretty - big trees.
If I weren't so tired I would write more, but there is a lot, a lot of
studying that I should do by 7:30 am tomorrow.
