Choose Sojourn Abroad in Beijing

I thought I quite knew big cities. But Beijing is a different kind of big. My teacher Mr. Zhang is hilarious. He made the classes so interesting. My advisor, Li Na, she was extremely patient and answered all my questions.I chose to live in a hotel close to the school. Students from Japan, Mexico all sat together and practiced Chinese after class. The school has a very central lcoation, so it is easy to get to anywhere by metro. I went to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Less crowded than Badaling. I took the toboggan down. So fun. Also went to the Temple of Heaven. Saw old people doing tai chi. I joined them. Terrible at it. But they laughed and clapped. Sojourn Abroad also took us to a Peking duck restaurant. The duck skin was so crispy. I dream about it. My Chinese went from zero to being able to order food, take a Didi, and complain about the weather. Beijing is intense. But Sojourn Abroad's staff hold your hand through everything. Highly recommend.
