My new life in Beijing

Arrived in Beijing this afternoon, around 15:30. The airport is fairly new and looks better than the one in HK. (I hope HK airport is not as dirty as I saw in normal times.)
Including Bonnie, PKU sent three persons to pick me up. We first arrived the office of Zaixingdong. Apparently, it was after their office hour, so only two were there.
Then we got to my stay for these several days. The dormitory problem is still unsolved. I have to stay at a voluteer's(Zhou Jie) place until they find a bed for me. So I'm now with other two girls in the dorm, using Zhou's computer and Internet. Besides, I just had a unique bath experience.
Xiao Xia took me to the public bathroom earlier tonight. Since I'm not living here, I had to pay 8 dollars for taking a bath. Then it's really a public bathroom. There is no stalls at all, only tubes sticking out from the wall. So who says there's no culture shock in China? It's just that they don't LIVE here.

Taiwanese is still different and quite rare here. I feel like being Romania somehow. XD

前往Har ki Doon登山口

清早Kat的伯父帶我們出門,開車從小巷穿出,已經開始有婦女光著腳、頭頂容器出門。伯父說他平常也是差不多四點出門散步再回家吃早餐。(後來才聽Kat說伯父是個作息很神奇的人,十點到十一點睡,三點起,一天的睡眠大概就是這樣。老醫生的作息就是這麼樸實無華,所以可以退休後繼續做研究。)...
