The following pictures give you a peek into the beauty and diversity of landscape found here in SW/W China. These travels just concluded yesterday and I leave again in the morning for four more days with a few friends. We'll be going in a different direction with more of a barren plateau feel. The National Holiday is in full swing, so the parks and roads are crowded, but the weather is yet favorable. One night reached 37º though as the town we stayed in was over 9000'. I don't have classes til a week from now, so I'm enjoying the opportunity to meet new friends, connect with others I've known for a few years here, and see some new places!
Upon my return to the city, life will resume full-swing with Mandarin classes, tutoring sessions in which I want to improve my listening skills, grammar/word usage, and fluency with new vocabulary. Then, my roommate and I are spearheading some new projects together; details will be forthcoming on another blog post once I confirm a few details! Stay tuned for that post in the next few weeks. And, I have a few good stories to share, as well as travel highlights. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the pics.
