beijing bicycle

i moved into the dormitories two nights ago. it's nice to have my own room. i've never had my own place before, and i never realized what kind of freedom it gives. my own time to think my own thoughts. and believe me, i need it. so many new impressions in this new city.

yesterday i had my chinese proficiency test. it went pretty bad i think. i hope i don't end up in the beginners class. i also had to have my health certificate checked. after that i went to silk street market with some friends. it was nice. today me and my friends bought bicycles! it must have taken us about five hours to find six suitable bicycles for good prices, unbelievable. busy days filled with busy nothings. i can't believe a week has already gone by... 

we have a clear sky now, here in beijing. i can see the stars.
