Last week our oral teacher kindly invited our class around to her house for tea and some snacks. She lives in one of the oldest Hutongs in Beijing and her house is a real mix of old and new. Whilst the building itself is untouched, a few commodities don’t quite fit in (wireless internet, brand new laptop etc!) We sat around and chatted whilst eating cakes, fruit, peanuts, seeds, steamed buns and some other things that were more unusual. Afterwards our teacher took us to visit the oldest shopping street in Beijing (currently having some refurbishing done for the olympics). Later, a few classmates went on to see an acrobatics performance at TianQiao - I instead went to meet up with Joe and Charles.
Here are some photos from the evening:
