Peking duck at Dadong - Zoe, *when* you come...
Visit to Tiananmen and Mao's tomb - I always get chills when I step onto the square. My mom brought up our first trip to China when Quin and I flew kites there one afternoon, and it's actually one of the few memories from my childhood that I remember in detail.
At 798 Art District - A highlight for my mom, and one of my favorite places in the city. We roamed around for about two hours, and only saw a portion of the entire district. Can't wait to go back.
At 798 - Statues can be found everywhere outside of the galleries. It's changed a lot even since the last time I was here in 2008.
Tsinghua University - My walk to class.
IUP Building
Lunch - 13 yuan = $1.90. Love Beijing.
Nanluoguxiang - Ran into these cuties on our walk to Nanluoguxiang, one of my favorite streets in Beijing. The street is a refurbished hutong alley that's been converted into a fashionable area stocked with restaurants, shops, bars, and cafes. These three were air-drying their paintings and playing games outside of their homes.
Cooking class - We learned how to make four delicious Chinese dishes that are not included in my Poh Poh's repertoire. The teacher is originally from Guangzhou, so my mom was excited to use her Cantonese after being left in the dark for the previous week of Mandarin.
