Two days ago I stirred from Ricky’s couch to discover a soft snow covering the hutong (hutong means “alley” in bejing and refers to the traditional alley way living spaces still found in parts of Beijing today). Too bad the only heating we have are small underpowered electric radiators only half switched on for fear of over loading the fuse box (which happens often). Still though, have been spending my time twittling my thumbs, reading some (siddhartha and economics textbooks, a strange pairing).
Now I’m focusing however on just studying Chinese. Meaning: looking for homestay and study institute ASAP. Because when you properly learn the language, its like a whole world opening up, inviting you to explore its wonders. Wonderous wonders untold (cue magic dust).
