Newbies in Beijing

Well, we're getting settled in here in Beijing. Peter had his first day at the Chinese Academy of Urban Planning, after which he was told the rest of his department would be gone on a business trip for the next few days and so, why don't you take the rest of the week off? Supposedly he'll get to go on a business trip sometime during our stay here too, and it gives us a chance to get settled in and explore a bit. Two trips to the crazy Carrefour supermarket later, our new furnished apartment is home. Check out some pictures! We're on the top floor of a 15 floor building, in a bigger apartment. The CAUPD generously arranged for us to have a larger apartment given that it's two of us. The other interns are calling it the "penthouse."
