Beijing

Hey Everyone

So I have been just sending out emails to everyone about my time so far in Beijing China but I figured it would just be much easier if I just kept a blog. I have never had a blog before so this is a completely new experience for me so we will see how this goes.

I have been in Beijing, China for about a month now. At first I found it to be a HUGE culture shock but now I am really starting to settle into my new surroundings and find myself actually feeling quite at home here. It will probably be very hard for me to leave china after my remaining 5 months are up here...

Okay so for those of you who have no idea what has been going on in my life for the last month I will give you a bit of an update :P

I arrived in china on the 15th of June. The jet leg was a bit rough for the first little while but once I past that things started to get easier. At first I was living in a model apartment which was not so great and then i got my own apartment which I am currently residing in :)

I haven't really been able to see many of the sights up close yet but I have caught a few glimpses of the Great wall, forbidden city and I actually got to visit the Summer palace which was pretty cool.

Life is very different than life in Canada..sometimes its interesting and other times it is frustrating haha but it is all apart of the experience. The heat can be tough to handle at times but i have learned to cope by wearing light clothing and putting my air-conditioning up full blast :P

I am headed off to more castings soon so I will blog more later!
