Edge

So my good friend, Edge came to vist right at the end of the semester. Yay!

I really had a lot of fun while he was here. I showed him all of my favorite places in Chengde and Beijing, and I even took him to campus to meet my students. He got the real Chinese experience because he was able to capitalize on my four months' experience.

I took him to Donkey restaraunt, Hot Pot, Korean BBQ, New Red Lantern, and Summer Mountain resort here in Chengde. He also got a taste of the BCD and KTV. He met Winter, Arwen, Vince, Ted, and Michael, along with all of my students. Oh, and Mr. Lei and his son. Edge is an incredibly social person (I wish I could be as social as he is), and he had no trouble getting along with everyone he met.

In Beijing, he got to see the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, The Great Wall, an Acrobatics show, and some other cool stuff. We also got to hang out with Paul, Sarah, and Amit, whom I hadn't seen in a really long time. And we even made a day trip to Tianjin, where we saw a Chinese history museum and went roller blading.

All in all, I'm really glad he came. It's nice to have such a good friend come and visit so you can show them all that you've been experiencing. If you really want his true experience, I know he made a video of his adventures, and it's probably rather entertaining, so you should ask him for it.
