Week 3



Well not much has gone on this week except more classes and we took a field trip to a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital which was pretty interesting. I am very excited to go to Lijiang next Friday. While I am there I am going to see the first bend in the Yangtze river, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and hopefully some endangered species that live there. We learned about the Yunnan Golden Snub Nosed Monkey that lives around that mountain and I hope to see some.


I am excited to get some time to explore and observe on my own, and I am VERY excited to take a train :)
Peking Opera Female
We got to watch Peking Opera in a tea house and have it demonstrated to us as well which was a lot of fun because we got to try on the costumes.

I was excited the first week I was here, and the next two I was wondering if I made the right decision to come. But I can say that moving into the forth week I have come to the realization that even if I don't find what I expect, I am still thankful that I am getting this experience.
Now....Enjoy some pictures from week 3!
