Today was an experience that we will never forget. Although we were suffering from severe jet-lag we still managed to find a surge of energy due to the sights and excitement. Immediately, when we got here we were welcomed with open arms by the Chinese people. They were extremely polite and smiled even though we had unfamiliar faces and only knew a few of the basics. We also met Chen laoshi, who took us to the No.2 High School and gave us a tour of some of the neighboring department schools.
After the tour, we had dinner, which was our first taste of authentic Chinese food, which we all ended up enjoying. We found that the food here is much healthier and very fulfilling. When dinner was over we all immediately became one with our beds and for those who stayed awake, we discovered the many shops that Beijing has to offer including a clothing boutique, bakery, and a McDonald's that serves duck sandwich as one of the meals. This was definitely a long and joyous experience. And it's only the FIRST DAY!
