Katia's pictures
Hello! We're fast approaching the end of three months in Beijing...amazing!!! Here are some photos to re-cap the week.
Remember Monday night we went to eat at a new place where we pay 15 yuan (nearly $3 Cdn) and we get an all-you-can eat raw buffet from which we choose what meats and vegetables we want and we cook it ourselves at our table. It's cool if you're not too hungry to begin with. The hot oil sprays so the restaurant gives its clients aprons to protect your clothes. It's pretty funny. To the left in the pic is one of Loic's students, behind her is Guillaume, across from him is me, then Bob, Loic (in glasses) and Gaetan. If you notice the yellow container beside the beer bottle in the forefront, that was our oil container and it was full...the amount of oil used to cook the food was disgustingly high. The waitresses would come over and pour the stuff in our skillets...
A better pic (taken with Katia's camera) of me, Bob and Loic.
Thursday afternoon we went shopping at Xizhimen (north-west of Beijing) with two of Katia's classmates, Maisy (in pink) and Viv. Viv is the clothes designer that we modelled for a couple weeks ago and Maisy is the one who organised the event. I bought the hat that you see me in in the picture. It keeps me warm!
The crowds in the subway as we headed home Thursday around 7 PM.
The pushing and shoving to get into the subway...we eventually made it in ourselves!
Katia's take on Bob's student dorm.
Hanging out in the dorm...
Now that Jean-Baptiste has joined us, there's six of us in our "French crew": (from L to R) Guillaume, Katia, me, Loic, J-B, and Gaetan. Imagine the six of us living in that one small room - that's what the Chinese students live with everyday!
J-B, Bob and Katia with a very cool waitress at one of the restaurants we go to the most often that I nick-named "The Pink Door" because it has a pink door and we don't know the Chinese name...
The rest of us with the same very cool waitress and you can see some of the dishes we ordered. The waitress is very sweet and smiling.
Tomorrow I'm meeting my friend Wang Xin Yu's uncle. He wants to practice his English. I have no idea what we're going to do... He's coming to pick me up in his car at the university. We'll see how it goes.
