We had a lecture from Ackbar Abbas in the morning and afternoon. It was quite nice, and I really like him. His readings were quite interesting as were his lectures. I am sad to see him go, as those were our last two lectures from him. We also watched a film called Crazy English, about an English teacher with some different methods.
After Ackbar's second lecture, Di, Tara, and I went to get some Shanxi food about two subway stops away from our dorms. Then we went to Carrefour where Di and Tara had a fun time showing me all of the snacks and drinks that they ate growing up. I have loads of Chinese candies and treats for everyone at home now.
That's about it.... sort of mellow yesterday. Di agreed to take me to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square next weekend, which is great because I didn't think anyone would want to go! I just had to ask her and she volunteered herself. I'm very excited. Tomorrow we're going to the Great Wall. I will be sure to take a lot of pictures and maybe Syd can upload them for me? We'll see what happens. Back to class now!
