Photos - Click on the photo to view it in full size

It took me about 40 minutes to figure out how to post these, and half of my photos didn't work, but here's a selection to whet the appetite!


The plastic paradise that forms part of Beijing's Central Business District, and the also where my school is.

Homework! (The most monotonous task in the world - writing characters out over and over again to memorise them!)

The bicicyle repair stall, close to my apartment block - an example of the "paesan" culture I was talking about.

The view from my bedroom window; if you look hard enough, you can see part of the outdoor "gym" I was talking about:

  2. Hey man,

    Sorry it's been a while since I posted or emailed - has been a hell of a difficult week. Don't suppose you fancy coming back to England and doing my exams in my stead? Pretty please...

    I'm ensconced in a comfortably cushioned chair in the Rare Books room of the University Library, the over-strong air conditioning provoking periodic rattles of sneezing, attempting to get some work done (and failing whilst the Champions League draw was going on - can't believe Liverpool got Chelsea again!).

    Hoping for a good result tomorrow, let me know when you have Skype sorted and we can chat. Take care,

    Hugo xx
