Today we were to go to the Pearl Market. Honestly, I almost stayed home. I hate to shop and the last experience I had in Guangzhou was scary and overwhelming. After a week of classes on some pretty heavy material, I felt whiped out. BUT, I also didn't want to miss out, I I bit the bullet and went.
I am so glad I did too. We took the subway, which was awesome! One of my goals coming here was to feel comfortable and confident taking public transportation by myself. I think I can really say that I can do all three, cab, bus and subway. The bus is the hardest because there is no English anywhere. So we really need a student with us for that. The subways were so clean and easy to navigate. I guess they are really new. I feel such a sense of pride each time we go out by ourselves and manage to get where we need to go.
I think it is about time for us to head out to dinner, Beijing Noodles. YUM! I have to laugh that I was so worried about the food, but the Peking University students have totally showed us around and now we know just where to go and what to get. I cannot wait. I have been eating so much. Many of my pictures are of the food! I will post more later now that I know I can get on!
