Today was the most fun day so far. We started off with our normal breakfast routine, followed by a lecture. The lecture was our last lecture taught by Claudia—who taught our last lecture as well. We learned more about China’s history. One thing that really caught me off guard was how the Chinese women used to have to bind their feet because that was looked at as “beautiful”. Also, we watched a clip of a Chinese film that I cannot remember the name of, but it featured Christian Bale, and it was super interesting. After our lecture, we went to McDonald’s which surprisingly tasted exactly like the McDonald’s in the United States. Then, we went to a karaoke bar, which was extremely fun. We got to hear Vanessa and Professor Gao sing, as well as the rest of us. It was very hot inside but it was incredibly fun. Now we’re back at the hotel and we’re going to ride the subway tonight, I am a bit scared, but also intrigued. It should be very interesting to say the least. I just hope we do not get lost.
