Current Events

Now the my 4 week school program is over, I've been living in the same apartment complex as Allison's family company. I was living with her friend and now former co-worker Jumi (in the vacant room in Jumi's apartment) until Jumi suddenly decided to go back to the US within a matter of 24 hours. The drama was pretty crazy but Jumi did what was best for her. So, that means I have a 2 BD luxury apartment all to myself. There's even a dryer here, which is rare for China.

A few moments of note from the last few days:

- Randomly bumped into Cheng Pei Pei and her oldest daughter Eugenia Yuan at Starbucks in the Sanlitun area of Beijing. Cheng Pei Pei played the villain, Jade Fox in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Eugenia is an up and coming actress. Very Very Random. I talked to them for a few minutes and just caught up on some family stuff. She's a family friend and her two other daughters used to beat up on me when we were kids.

- Bought a couple more ties (I think that's 15 now for the trip) an Arcteryx soft shell jacket, A&F cargo pants, Columbia shirt (You'll have to tell me when you see them how fake they are).

- Went to the Chinese Military Museum. Now that's is a museum worth going to! (Don't go to the National Museum, not worth it). It's a mix of modern and historic military history, art, Chinese history all rolled into one.









- Bought a bike to cruise around Beijing with. Hope I survive!

- Tomorrow's the first day of the Flag Football World Championships so I'm pretty excited to see how it goes.
