Our first full day in China was pretty incredible, and today we're going to do some sightseeing before getting on our train to Xi'an. The night train tickets were all sold out, so we're leaving in the afternoon and will arrive in the middle of the night. I'll have made a backpacker of Emily by the end of this trip for sure! ^_^

It's very cool that I'm able to talk to people, and mostly understand their replies. Very encouraging! I love hearing all the Chinese around me, and the neighbourhood we're in is everything I was hoping Beijing would be.
