Today was exciting. After our culture class, where we learned how to sing a song, we were taken to the "costume" room. We all were dressed up and made up to look like characters from the Beijing Opera. At first, it felt weird, to look so... weird, but then it almost felt natural. The head peices cut off the circulation to the head, and it hurt, a lot. I have no idea how people manage to wear such an outfit for three hours straight.
Tomorrow we will be taking a flight to Xi'an, a historical town. It houses the terra cotta soldiers and the tomb of the emperor. We will take a train on the way back, which I am most excited for. (I like trains).
Earlier this week we learned about the art of Calligraphy. At the end we got to practice the art. I wrote a pretty impressive poem:
This is our whole class dressed up. We are a good looking bunch, do you think so?
I was dressed as one of the four Chinese beauties represented in the opera.
