Outside the window, it began to rain,

To look at it positively, when life hits a new low,

the only direction it can go is UP.

Exactly my situation.

＃ＴＵＥ＃

Tuesday I had lunch alone again. Kind of got used to it.

Didn't feel miserable anymore, just bored.

In the evening I bought 半斤的水餃 for dinner, and got so full!!!

I had no idea how many grams 半斤 is. XDDD

(Still don't know now! I only know it's a LOT!!)

Later on 文輝 brought me fruits, too many fruits actually. XD

I insisted that he take some back with him. XD

But I really appreciated apples and peaches. Thank u so much. Really.

＃ＷＥＤ＃

Wednesday I went to the Great Wall,

met a girl friend on the tour bus,

chatted with Huichao, Dulan as we rested on the Great Wall.

That night Huichao, Dulan, Wangxin, Changqin, Jianping and I had dinner together along with Dulan's friend, Jingzhe, at 東來順.

I heard it b4 from 柏聿. She said she liked it! Yes, really tasty.

原來 東北人 把 金針菇 叫 金針蘑 呀!!!!!

＃ＴＨＵ＃

Thursday noon I met Gintare and had lunch with her,

discussing the difference btn smoothie and slush. XD

還有發現自己的英文很爛, 不知道木耳(black fungus), 青江菜(bok choy / spoon cabbage)的英文 orz

I first met Gintare at the bus stop. She and her boyfriend Linus asked me for help reading the bus routes.

I helped them find their hostel, called PekingUni,

the one 文哲 had taken me for a look, called 未名 in Chinese.

I have no idea why the English name and Chinese name are so far-fetched. XD

That night (Monday) I walked in high heels for 3 km!!!

Thur night I had 3 peaches for dinner.

我真的胃變大了! orz 三顆耶!!(不小顆喔!) >"

＃ＦＲＩ＃

Friday morning I put up Jingfen's poster, was asked of questions to which I didn't know the answers. >"

Checked out Zhangyi's, Huichao's, Wangxin's posters.

Chatted with a person from 瀋陽, and study in CS Dept,Univ of Toronto.

I liked him a lot. :)

Then there was this short man in a bright green T-shirt who was interested in Jingfen's poster.

I explained everything to him with best efforts.

He said it's really nice. :D (Happy tears)

Okay then it came to my demo.

Only two to three guys checked out my stuff. :(

But I had long and deep talks with them. So...never mind.

I regretted not making a poster. :P Learned a lesson this time!!

Having a small booth of my own was actually really cool only if I had had the poster to hightlight my topic. :P

Had lunch with Huichao and Wangxin.

Huichao is a really really nice and kind guy. So glad meeting him.

Huichao and I went to the Best Finalists talk.

I am sorry to say I fell asleep sometimes.

The content was too difficult and the words on the slids I could not see due to my poor eyesight... orz

Meeting Gintare and Linus at Dongsi Station at 18:00.

Went to 王府井, saw 串烤海馬, 串烤蠍子, 串烤蠶蛹, 串烤蜈蚣, 串烤海蛇...

中國人真是無物不食!!!!!

其實看到有些蠍子(還是活的)在竹籤上扭動的時候, 真是於心不忍呢...

王府井真的很多小吃耶, I loved it!!!

話說, 那條串烤街道上每隔幾公尺就擺了個大型垃圾桶,讓食客丟吃完的包裝垃圾。

有一個人，他看了看垃圾桶裡，有杯丟棄的飲料沒完全喝完(大概只剩不到20%)，

便伸手進去拿了那杯飲料起來喝。

I was sooooo shocked seeing this!!!!!!

Alright anyway I had wonderful time walking around the 王府井 streets. :D

有朋友，人生真的很快樂。

這是我這次來北京最深刻的體認。

Coling is over. My vacation begins! Hooray!!!!
