It was kind of depressing leaving Beijing. I feel like I could have stayed there the whole time and seen so many more things. It also means that our trip is that much closer to being over already. But I am excited to get to Tianjin and kind of settle in. We met some of the students tonight at dinner and they are EXTREMELY nice and courteous. They even stuck around with us after the meal and brought us to get things from the local grocery store and walked us back to our hotel. I was really impressed with how good their English was and it makes me think about how I know next to nothing about their language. I think this is the start of a pretty good friendship between us all for the next few weeks and hopefully after we return to the states.

It's all about the Minnesota nice, except when you're walking in the streets. I dislike how time is going by so fast as you said, but I agree that it is a start to a long-lasting friendship.
