So it seems that the ability to speak is helpful here in Beijing but if you can't ride a bicycle then it seems your condemned to die. Ok...well maybe not die but you will be walking a great deal just trying to get between places. I was a little unsure of whether or not I really wanted to buy a bicycle. Thankfully my worries seem to be put to rest. The normally long walk across campus to the store was restored to a short jot on my trusty and rusty cycle.
Observations
-When they say hot water only three times a day well they really mean it. Trying to get a shower early was quite a bad (and cold) life choice.
-Having daily cleaning service to work through my room is quite nice.
-Ordering Orange juice with every meal seems to give the drink lady a good kick everyday....I am glad I can brighten her day.
-Photos are now posted on my flickr account
