A Day in the Life

First of all, I can't access my blog page in China, which really sucks. I can only update it and go from there. So, I have no idea if anybody leaves comments. Here's an article in Businessweek talking about blogging in China. I did set up a xanga page that I might use later when I get back to the US since I can view Xanga pages (for now at least).

I figured in this entry that I'd describe how I'm living in China during my 4 weeks of school. I'm staying at 3 star (should probably be 2 stars in my opinion) place called the Hui Qiao Hotel near UIBE. The room's kind of small and it's really loud outside from the construction but luckily my room has not had any water leakage or insect problems, like some of my classmates. There's also a KTV in the hotel. For those who don't know, KTV is a type of karaoke club here in China, but it's more known for having hookers who come out and "entertain" the men who frequent the clubs.


Like I said, the room's a little small, especially the doorway and the shower. My roommate, Marek, is also a slob and leaves his stuff everywhere and he accumulates more and more knockoff namebrand socks, shoes, underwear, and shirts on an almost daily basis. Only another week and a half left and then we'll see where I end up for the rest of stay here in Beijing.

Anyways, met some people from Loyola Law School this week, who are in town for 2 weeks for their own summer program. It turns out that a bunch of them know Khurram and some are even fellow Cal alums. Go Bears!
