Not the most beautiful picture, but the only one I have of this great night! After our competition, after karaoke with David Pe, after a party, I went on a little adventure… I love these litt...
A couple of weeks ago we went to Yangzhou on a school trip. I’m not sure if I’d call it “fun,” but “interesting.” It was a time of reflection, at least for me. At Slender West Lake I ...
Our traditional Chinese dance performance for NYU’s Variety Show! We did so well! Everyone thought we were so graceful and were clapping and “wow”-ing throughout the whole thing. On top o...
Sometimes I think videos are better than pictures to express feelings. I took this short (and a bit messy!) video of a day I spent alone on the Bund near my favorite building, the Customs House. ...
A tiny piece of the Summer Palace! Here are some of the dragon boats you can take across Kunming Lake. It’s a huge complex, and very beautiful too. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice, nat...
A small ride at the little amusement park in People’s Square! My friend and I ended our day with a few nerdy rides. My favorite though is this swinging, swirling ride that goes high up in the a...
> His Excellency’s shrine, where would it be found? > Past Damask Town, where cypresses grow dense. > Its sunlit court, gem-bright greens—a spring unto themselves.�...
Sometimes you need time for yourself, just to treat yourself. Today I was feeling the urge to walk around the Bund to take photos. I managed to grab a taxi and feel that old feeling of happiness ...
I just remembered how much fun Shanghai’s Science and Technology Museum was. I’ve been to many museums, but I’ve never been as entertained or had as much fun as I had at this one. They did ...
In Beijing we were lost at one point, unable to find our hotel. This man, who normally gives rickshaw tours, offered to take us there even though it was a bit far from where we were. One of the...
After the Great Wall, a fun Beijing Opera at the Liyuan Theater, we went to DaDong’s for the best Peking Roast Duck in Beijing. We were not disappointed! The duck itself was soft, melting in yo...
Another amazing view from the Great Wall! And me contemplating.
The Great Wall, what a sight at Mutianyu! I feel as if I’ve done it all now, haha! (as you can see I have a gold medal for my heroic efforts in climbing it)
Just as I’m arriving at Hongqiao Train Station to get on a bullet train to Beijing! I’m really excited for what’s to come!
A poster I found while exploring a shikumen site as part of our photography class field trip. I’ll have to write more about the shikumen, but I really loved this poster. I was tempted to take...
I can’t describe the feeling of having your photos printed out on beautiful paper! For our photography class, we all went to these buildings, all dedicated to photography, and printed our photo...
A guest speaker we had for our US-China Relations class was Li Bijian. He’s a diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which basically carries out China’s foreign policies. He’s been wo...
I’ve been pretty busy here with essays, tests, extracurriculars, and basically life here in China! Here’s a picture of Zhujiajiao while on the small boat!
DREAMS DO COME TRUE! After finishing a great dinner at Ajisen, my friends said they were going to go to Tom’s World, an arcade chain here in China, and I decided to come along. I got eighteen...
I don’t know if I can adequately express how wonderful our NYU trip to 1,700 year old Zhujiajiao was! We left campus in the morning, and as we kept going further and further out of Shanghai, ...
