Started the third leg of my summer journey yesterday, when my flight from the Maldives landed in Beijing. I will be studying Chinese at Tsinghua University for the next two months, thanks to the generosity of the Light Fellowship. My aunt and uncle picked me up from the airport just hours ago. First impression of Beijing: man, this place is hot! Nothing like getting punched in the face by the heat to shake you out of your jet lag and make you realize Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore.

Although this is not my first time in China, I still can't help but feel the same familiar excitement I get whenever I land in an unfamiliar environment. The last time I visited was around 6 years ago, and I can't wait to develop a better understanding of and appreciation for Beijing, this time as a college student and an adult.
