The Closing Ceremony

 Ni hao!

 I'm going to share with you some photos I took at our Study China Closing Ceremony. This was a really nice way of reflecting on all we'd learnt and achieved during the programme. 

 We also collected our certificates for our mock HSK exams - I got 195 out of 200, which I was really happy with.

Christmas Eve

 Ni hao!

 I am going to share with you some photos I took on Christmas Eve. Today after our economics lecture in the tall building I decided to go to the very top floor and take photos of the sunset over Beijing. I found it very soothing and the views very beautiful.

 I then took some photos around the BNU campus, which looked really magical in the early evening light. I hope you like them.

 Firstly, this took me by surprise me whenever I went into Hollywood, a restaurant we liked. Is it Santa? Or a dragon? I'm not sure.

It is me!

 Next, the views from our economics classroom:

 It was certainly an unusual Christmas Eve, but one I found very enjoyable. It was a quiet, peaceful day in the middle of a busy trip.
