It’s hard to believe we’ve already been in Beijing studying, learning, and eating a lot of Chinese food for a month at this point. On one hand， the last four weeks have gone by so quickly it feels like it can’t be a whole month. On the other, we’ve done so much during that time it seems like we must have been here longer. I guess that serves as a testament to how busy the Program keeps us. Every day is full and while it’s certainly tiring at times, we can be sure we are getting the most out of our time in Beijing. Each day presents new challenges to overcome and new opportunities to learn. In addition to our daily classes, we have already visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, two different companies, and explored the area a little on our own.
Our classroom is in this beautiful building, just a “short” 20-minute walk from our dorm.
