After two busy days and nights in Beijing we boarded a long 12 hour trip by train up to Harbin to meet and live with our home-stay families for the next 3 weeks. The train was really small, and we only had beds, no seats. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We were able to hang out more with each other and even rest.
In Harbin we will attend Chinese class for 4 hours each morning, we will spend our afternoons exploring and learning about the city of Harbin, while doing community service work. Then each afternoon, someone from our home-stay family will be there to pick us up so we can continue our evenings at our home-stay homes, doing whatever activities they have planned.
I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity. I'm looking forward to meeting my host family, exploring Harbin, meeting my Chinese teacher, and going to the Chinese No. 1 High School.
Wo jia zai Harbin. I now live in Harbin.
