The Orient Express


Greetings from Beijing! I've finally been able to get access at Beijing Jiaotong University in order to make a new post.


Before we left Xi'an on Friday, we visited the Shaanxi Province Historical Museum and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The overnight train to Beijing was actually a lot nicer than any of us thought it would be. We left Xi'an around 8:30pm and pulled into Beijing around 7:15am on Saturday morning. Now we are in Beijing until next Sunday afternoon when we leave for Japan. This morning we had class in basic Chinese, and we are about to leave for a temple in a half hour or so.
