Nice short one today guys as I am very tired (and maybe a
little bit hungover)!
Last night was Chinese New Year so naturally there was a
party! The hostel was rammed with people (most of them interns like me) so it
was nice getting to meet new people and have a drink with them! I had one too
many pints of the local lager so spent the end of the evening in an embrace
with the toilet... My fault entirely but I had a good time nonetheless. I
didn't even make it to midnight sadly but I heard the fireworks were
incredible, they certainly sounded good!

| Chinese New Year in the Happy Dragon |
Woke up this morning
with a rather unpleasant hangover and started to sort myself out ready to check
out of the Happy Dragon. We were going to get a taxi to the Civil Aviation
Management Institute on the other side of Beijing but quickly realised that
there were no taxis o the road due to the public holiday! After much persuasion
TTC sent a coach to pick us up (there were 30 of us in that one hostel!). We
made it though!
The room is very nice, sharing it with a guy called Eddy who
seems easy enough to live with!
Went out exploring this afternoon with the guys and found a
mall with a food court. Brad and I decided to go for something Chinese as opposed
to the Western places, we got dumplings (usually a safe bet) and very quickly
discovered that they were bathed in chilli! Quite possibly the spiciest thing
I've ever eaten. We could only manage half of it before giving up and heading
to Subway (a safe bet). I regret nothing! I got some toffee strawberries which
were lovely and sticky.
Tomorrow our orientation begins, we have breakfast between 7
and 8 and then straight into the thick of it. Needless to say many of us are
not looking forward to the early start!
Until next time!
