This term our FSP's special culture class is a GongFu class taught by a local BNU student. Held every Tuesday and Thursday, our laoshi has us working hard. We're learning everything from the basic horse stance to complex leaps.All our GongFu training skills came in handy when we had to climb the Great Wall this past Saturday. The part of the wall we visited, Jin Shan Ling, is known for its beautiful scenery, steeper steps, and peaceful atmosphere. We climbed for about three hours, continuously awed by our surroundings.
So far, everyone on our trip has been relatively healthy. The food takes a little getting used to, but we've become quite good at ordering our staple Chinese dishes-- gong bao ji ding, yu xiang qie zi, hong shao niu rou...For the most part, the food is delicious, though once in a while, we pander to our Western food needs by eating a McDonald's or going to a pizzeria.
