After visiting Beijing, hiking the Great Wall, visiting The Forbidden City and catching a flight to Xi’an, I was pooped! Yesterday we had orientation at the Shaanxi Normal University which is one of the five distinguished universities in China. We were greeted and welcomed by the dean of the university and met Chinese university students that served as our guides for the day. After the tour of the university, we hit the streets with our guides and took care of getting ourselves situated to the city of Xi’an. The university is a beautiful setting and I am excited about being here for an extended time.

My student guide, Shang Hui, and me by the rock which says something about knowledge giving power – she suggested the peace signs for a “nice, good touch.”

Just one of the many garden/shaded areas to study on campus
