Don't try Stinky tofu 😁

I spent four months at Beijing Cultural University through GAC and honestly, it was a wild ride. The classes ugh Super intense. Still my Chinese shot up way faster than I expected. My host family was awesome too. They really made me feel like part of the family, which helped a lot.

Now, the commute took forever. Annoying, but honestly, totally worth it.

As for food—let’s just say I got adventurous. Stinky tofu was by far the weirdest thing I tried. It smelled like straight-up garbage, but the taste wasn’t as bad as I thought. My host brother nearly died laughing watching me eat it.
