你好朋友们,
Here, you'll find random chronicles of my time studying abroad in Beijing and my travels throughout China and Asia. For those of you that don't speak/read Chinese, the title of this blog translates to: "He Lihong [my Chinese name] Goes to China: Studying Abroad in Beijing. I'm writing this sitting at the gate of my flight to Beijing from San Francisco International Airport, filled with both excitement and nervousness. The amount of Chinese that I'm hearing already is pretty scary, but it's also somewhat reassuring that I can pick out words among the rapid conversations taking place around me. I'll be arriving in Beijing at around 6PM local time on Tuesday the 27th, which is 3am PST/6am EST. Logan, one of my good friends from high school who is currently spending his summer interning in Beijing, will be meeting me at Beijing Capital Airport, and I'll be spending the night with him. Then, on Wednesday the 28th, I'll be moving into Capital Normal University's International Student Dorm and starting my program with Middlebury University's Middlebury in China program.
It's going to be an incredible four months, filled with incredible experiences of all sorts. I'm already preparing for the intense struggle that will be speaking almost exclusively Chinese during my time in country, but the fruits of my labor will (hopefully) be worth the trouble.
Thanks for following along!
