....next weekend I'm leaving Beijing. We are going inland to visit PingYao over the weekend. Thats where the Chinese film "Raise the Red Lantern" was filmed. This is good for me for multiple reasons, I saw and liked the movie, it will be the furthest from the coast that I have ever been. I'll also get to see a smaller city, and I'll see more traditional houses and hear different accents. I will also be with teachers, no students so that is kinda a bummer because there won't be as many people my age, but at least I'll have a group I can fall back on if I need help. One of the students (Dave) asked if he could go, I don't think he was serious though. I asked one of the teachers about it but then she said she'd have to open the trip to all students and it was too short notice for that.
I'd love to hear about your visit! I need to go rewatch that movie now that I can understand a little.
