Boxing Day at Laker's

 Ni hao!

 I want to share with you some photos from my first excursion to Laker's, a bar on campus which I had often walked past but never been inside until Christmas Eve when I went there for dinner with Abi, Kasia, Sarah and April.

 It is a lovely little place and the food and drink - I had a pizza and milkshake - was delicious. We had a really enjoyable evening.

Beautiful tea set

Books on the window sill

 I hope I've managed to capture some of the cosy atmosphere of the place; it's certainly somewhere I would like to visit again if I ever go back to Beijing.

Exploring Beijing

 Hi!

 Here are some photos from the first Monday of Study China when a group of us decided to explore the area around Beijing Normal University. We discovered some incredible things and saw some amazing sights.

Bike with hand-warmers

These are really popular snacks; they consist of various types of caramelised fruit on skewers

World's cutest cake shop (Wedomé)

I bought one of these; it was delicious ♥

All the strawberries have smiley faces!

Très mignon

More happy strawberries

Exotic Chinese Oreos (they have so many different flavours in the supermarkets here)

 Thanks for reading! In the next blog post I will be sharing some photos of Beijing Normal University's beautiful campus.

 Until then,
