The first weekend, a few of us randomly caught a taxi to Sanlitun (foreigners and bars) and wandered around for a bit (I lied about club hitting). The rest of the week's work didn't leave much time for anything other than restaurant-hopping, but with the midweek calligraphy lesson and Great Wall trip on Saturday... I'm really starting to think PIB should do a better job advertising its excursions.
The excursions really don't compare to exploring the neighborhood with people, however. I don't really feel like writing very much right now, so here's a bunch of pictures with captions (a trend with this blog?). I figure if a picture is worth any number of words then I'm in decent shape anyway. There is this one group photo at Sanlitun that I wish I had... oh well.
