First blog entry

Posted 5:29pm on Saturday May 9th 2009

I've been in China for 2 months and here is my first blog entry! Thanks to Tom for the technical support ;-)

Firstly, I arrived here on February 25th, and have since been working at a private university just outside central Beijing. I live at the school 4 nights per week, and in an apartment in south Beijing from Friday to Sunday. I think it's a good arrangement; it allows me experience the most of the school environment, while also having some independence.

So far I've been to a few places which I will cover in detail shortly. These include:

  • Tiananmen Square
  • The Forbidden City
  • The Summer Palace
  • Temple of Heaven
  • National Stadium (the Bird's Nest)

In future entries I will also try to write about daily life in China and share my photos, so keep an eye on that feed. Bye for now!
