My Future Home

It's Beijing!

Well, it will never be "home", but it is where I will be living from the end of August 2009 until January 2011, for my Masters program at Tsinghua!

Lisa and Chelsie just got back from visiting Beijing for five days, and they had an incredible time.  After hearing about it, I am even more happy with my decision to move there...if that's even possible.  I mean, it is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!

In Beijing, they also met up with the Ivey students on exchange at Tsinghua, and they are having just as wonderful a time as we are having in Hong Kong...always good to hear.

From looking at Lisa's photos, the one thing that really stood out to me is how "green" the city is - it seems as though there are lots of parks and flowers and greenery!  The downside: they confirmed it...the pollution is absolutely terrible.

I wish the world would do more to reduce their carbon footprint.
