Nanjing to Seoul

15. Beijing Normal is about as elite as you can get in Beijing. Those kids are the best of the best.

At least, the best of the best from the upper class. There are no kids from underclass families in that school at all. I've been there twice on a workshop when I taught at Hebei Normal University. . .the place is absolutely amazing.

I'm glad the trip to the Forbidden City was enjoyable too. Been there more times than I care to say, and each time I learned something new.

I hope she learned how to write Chinese correctly. Get the stroke order wrong and you'll hear about it. Top to bottom, left to right outside to inside. That's the order.

Finally. . .what day can be complete without ping pong or badminton?

I figure we'll get some nice photos of her at the Xi'an Bell Tower, Drum Tower, City Wall and Terracota Warriors as well on her next leg.
