Illegal Hello from China

So I finally managed to get access to this blog from Beijing, which I'm really happy about. I have no idea how to work this thing and I don't think I have that much html stuff available because I'm going through a proxy. I wish I had pictures to post of facebook or something but this entire week has essentially been studying and sleeping. But now it's the weekend and tonight I'm going to see an acrobats show, and this Sunday I'm going to Tian'anmen Square!

Most interesting things I've done so far...
1) Eat a donkey burger (more like a small donkey hoagie)
2) Be in the studio audience for some Chinese talk show that was talking about the gaokao (高考). It's like the Chinese equivalent of the SAT but the score on this exam determines where you can go. I couldn't understand a single thing they were saying.
3) Gotten used to carrying around toilet paper because public bathrooms don't have them
4) Getting to a subway station and then having to walk for at least 20 minutes through the station (when we were going the right way) to get to our platform

The food here is cheap and delicious and hasn't made me sick yet, so yayyyyy.
