Love in the cracks.

Spent the afternoon with Maria, Camila, and Allie. We tagged along the Colombians and had Peking duck (北京烤鸭) for lunch today. I have to say it was expensive, but really good. And since the fancy-pants resto was in Chaoyang District (朝阳区), we took a cab going there, which cost us about 10元. Including lunch, in all, it was about 60元. THE most expensive meal by far, since everything in Beijing is cheap. We usually get full meals at about 7 to 8元. We shouldn't have gone. Now that I've re-tasted authentic 北京烤鸭, I want more. =)

Oh, and I met with the small group from BICF tonight. I love it. In all, we're like, around 15 people. Pretty diverse bunch. Let's see, there's a Korean PK (pastor's kid), two German girls from small villages in the Black Forest, a Korean-American dude, an Aussie girl who grew up in HK, an American girl who studied at Wheaton College, and who'll be going to med school soon, a girl from Kazakhstan, and about 6 Chinese-Fils. It was fun, meeting them and getting to know them. It's awesome how I was able to easily find a small group so soon, and so convenient, it being in the same dorm as I'm in, just 2 floors down. There's so much to look forward to, even laser tag!!! I can't wait.

We actually have a proficiency test tomorrow morning. I don't think I can study for it anymore, not that I want to. Lol. Even our teacher was like, "没关系，不用怕。" (Don't worry, no need to be afraid.) And we have classes this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, to make way for the super long National Holiday week. Yes, that's how they do it here in China, week-long holidays. You just gotta love it. =)
