This morning, I woke up, ate breakfast, and tried to dress for the Great Wall. I put on jeans, tennis shoes (more "Fumas" from Hongxiao), a t-shirt, and pulled my hair back with a headband and ponytail. Then I put on a warm fleece, because ... Read more >

Thursday: Back to Xuanwu

Thursday, 10 Apr 2008 | Views [853]

Back to Xuanwu for another day. By now, we're very familiar with Stepping Classroom No. 2. Today, we divide into two groups; mine heads to General Surgery. It could be interesting, although one of my friends groans--she despises the OR. We wend our way ... Read more >

Wednesday was going to be special. Today, we were finally going to see some TCM, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, which up until now most of us have only talked about with little knowledge. We arrived at Xuanwu and went back to Stepping Classroom No.... Read more >

Same morning routine, except I gave up on breakfast this morning in favor of trying to Skype with my husband, whom I haven't spoken to for longer than a few seconds since I left. Onto the Doctor Gone, and on to Xuanwu Hospital, a large internal medicine ... Read more >

Monday: An Ding Hospital

Monday, 7 Apr 2008 | Views [723]

I woke up, took a cold shower, had blow dryer issues, walked down the street to breakfast, and back to catch the bus. An Ding is about an hour's ride in the bus, so we're going to eat lunch there. This is the only psychiatric hospital we'll visit here ... Read more >

Sunday morning started out slow, which I like. I went to breakfast at the same old restaurant, then home to work on photos. Then, I went with a group to Liulichang Street, an arts & crafts/antiques area. It is basically a hutong, one of the old ... Read more >

Tianenmen Square & Forbidden City

Saturday, 5 Apr 2008 | Views [1986]

I rose at 0630, awakened my friend, and we headed out. On our way to catch a cab, we stopped at the street vendor, where for RMB 1.50 we had a hot pancake filled with egg, coated with spicy sauce and filled with lettuce. Very tasty. The cab dropped ... Read more >

Friday at Temple of Heaven

Friday, 4 Apr 2008 | Views [1133]

Friday was a national holiday for tending the graves of the dead, so we went to sightsee as a group instead of going to the hospital. First, Henry walked us down the street aways from our dorm to see a tiny museum. Inside was the carefully preserved ... Read more >
