Well I'm now at Beijing, arrived 2 days ago. Currently sitting at the school office waiting for the orientation for my program. It's 8:37am local time (Beijing is 3 hours behind Sydney).
Few observations I've made:
- Hardly anyone speaks English.
- It's DAMN cold here.
- Traffic is incredibly crazy. No rules and no love for pedestrians. Gotta be really careful around here.
- The Chinese people are really hard working. I think manners are much more apparent back in Australia, but it's something I just have to get used to.
- When I changed money at a big bank, my flatmate told me that even big banks issue fake RMB100 bills. Everytime I used one the shop owners would check to make sure it's not fake. How dodgy is that!
My mobile number is 15901376514. For some reason roaming doesn't work.
Anyways, that's it for now. Missing everyone back in Oz!

Haha, school, SBHS... :P
Wow. Judging from the pictures on the site, the Academy looks pretty sleek and clean and sunny-like. I truly was expecting a little brown temple hut with monks or something.
How's the food there? Meet any chinese hip hop people?
Keep warm! Keep posting! Keep Aussie.
