Beijing: Beautiful Again

Since last time the weather has gotten much better. We went to Tiananmen Square on Saturday; the air was perfect the sun was shining. Saturday was the third time I have been to Tiananmen and this time was the most profound. I really appreciated how big it was and the extensiveness of the palace. 

The work has really picked up. We meet everyday with our 'Language Partners' for between an hour and two which really takes away from your time to work. Then again, we only have four hours of class a day.

Yesterday we were fortunate enough to get a game of basketball against the Capital Normal University team. After a slow start, we actually beat them. Because we were playing against the university team, we were allowed to use the gym. A short break from the 100 degree heat was very welcomed.
