29 days until I say goodbye to Korea

So sad. Maybe...lol.

So summer intensives sucked big time! I worked from like 9:30 until 7:30-8:30 at night. Ugh! I'm so happy to back to drinking cheap Korean beer after work and sleepin in until noon. That's the Korea I can deal with. Too bad I don't really sleep in until noon, but I could if I wanted to.

To uphold my promises from the last blog (the one i wrote about a hundred years ago) I will finally reveal some other good stuff from Beijing.

To begin I've never drank so much tea in my life! Seriously I think I drank like a gallon of tea... and no i don't remember the names of most of them. It started when I bought some tea that I actually liked after I went to the great wall. This was ok.

Then after wondering around the forbidden city for like 5 hours (I had started at the back) I made my way to Tienanmen Square. While I was dodging little old men scrapping gym off the ground this random Chinese girl started talking to me. Having been in Asia for over a year now, I've become used to random people trying to speak English to me. When I first got here it was really nice, now it's just kind of annoying. So anyway this girl was really nice, and her English was basically perfect so I walked around the square and talked to her for awhile. She told me a lot about Chinese culture as we walked to the oldest part of the city. This was definitely not on my to do list, but it was by far probably the coolest thing i did while i was there. I don't necessary believe in super long blogs so to summarize... we went to the oldest shoe shop, a traditional Chinese medicine store, and then to an old school tea house. Freakin a... we drank like seven different pots of tea! And...most of it tasted like dirt. Yum! Well, some of it I liked. The fruit tea was really sweet so that was by far my favorite and of course the one she hated.

Anyway the rest of Beijing was pretty much endless old school temples, palaces, beautiful parks, old men with huge bellies and no shirts, millions of bicycles, dirty air, relentless bartering, super cheap (pretty much everything), and some crazy (no way in hell would i put that in my mouth) food.

On a different note, my new goal is to write 15 blogs before I leave. I can do it!

K, hope everyone is well and missin me like crazy! j/k ;)
