Grrr....

I came to the internet place fully intending to upload some pictures since the internet in my room has been super sketchy as of late. Unfortunatly this internet place will not let my get pictures from my camera or a flash drive. But I suppose it still might be nice to write something up, even if I can't put pictures with it.
The other night I sat by the window in our hallway and looked out over a very small portion of Beijing and N. 3rd Ring Road. It was mezmerzing to watch all the cars still whizzing by, even at 11pm at night. I watched as the huge office buildings slowly grew darker and darker. It is always amazing to see all the places and people in Beijing.
Things are going pretty well. The weather is finally getting cold enough to put on sweaters and jackets. Tomorrow we are going to the Forbidden City and Saturday is a trip to the Great Wall. I am looking forward to both very much.
This past weekend was an incredible amount of fun. On Friday night I went out with Mike, Mike, Mike, Eric, Dave, Tom, and Christi. We first got korean fried(?) chicken and soujiu. The chicken was delicious, but I don't recommend soujiu. As I understand it, it is the Korean equivilant of vodka. It smells and tastes pretty much like rubbing alchohol (for that matter so does baijiu, the Chinese version of vodka). We then went to a bar out by Sanlituan(sp?) where we just hung out, talking and laughing for awhile. About 12:30am we made it to a club where supposedly the hottest DJ in England was at. I'll admitt, he was good, but I think I would have enjoyed it regardless. I had so much fun dancing with my friends that before I knew it, it was 3:30! I got back to CNU and fell into bed exhausted. The next day I went over to Aunt Jan and Professor Bay's apartment and baked and decorated a cake for Lorraine's surprise party. It was quite a bit of fun.
Oh yeah, last thursday we went to the Summer Palace which was amazing.
Well, the time I paid for on the internet is almost up....
Hope everyone is doing well.
