Last Day in Beijing in 2006

Well today was my last full day in Beijing for this semester. Tomorrow morning I'll begin 27 hours of travel and I'll eventually end up back in Minnesota.

I learned a lot this semester. A lot about Chinese and a lot about life in general. I wish I could sum it all up nice and easy, but I just can't. For anyone reading this who is thinking about studying abroad, I would definitely say do it. I enjoyed just about every aspect of my experience so far.

I know it's been a while since my last post, but I've been very busy lately. I don't have to much to report though because just about everything I've done since the last update has involved going to the markets and buying stuff. Bargaining can be really fun at times, but it does really wear you out.

This will probably also be my last post on the blog until next semester starts. I've changed my original plan to stay in China from September to June/July. I'm now coming home for winter break and not doing January Term in Beijing. I'll be returning for the Spring Term, but that's not until February 20. I'll be home until then, so I probably won't be posting.

Until then, thanks to those who have been reading. I hope you have enjoyed it so far.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
