My Neighbourhood

Welcome to Beijing. This neighbourhood, alike to so many of the neighbourhoods in Beijing is where I live.
This is a rare occasion we finally got some snow, althought it came long after Christmas.
Spring is here and with it comes all blossoms in deep pink and white.
Everyday at the entrance of our neighbourhood local vendors line up at dawn to sell breakfast and at dusk to have a little Asian BBQ. Egg sandwiches, meat on a stick ... if only they sold fresh brewed coffee!!

The vegetable market in my neighbourhood where I can get veggies for the week for like 4 dollars and these are the ladies I pass by everyday on my way to school. They don't quite do taichi so much as just bend around but they're super cute.

BLCU, My University Campus

This is the building I have class in everyday. you can see my window, it's on the 6th floor.













The campus is small but groomed meticulously to provide a serene place to student and live.













Though considered a small university in Beijing, it is home to over 13,000 students, more than 9,000 of whom are foreigners come to study Chinese, more than any other university in China.
