Ni hao! Yesterday we left Beijing and headed into the Shandong province by train. The transportation is actually pretty amazing and the train ride was a breeze, not like the trains we have in the states. I was sorry to leave Beijing but excited to see something new. I had many great experiences there and yet I feel like there was so much more to see. We made it safely into Jinan that evening and were welcomed by professors from the Shandong University of Art and Design. We then went to the old campus where we unpacked and went off to a giant banquet where we were joined by the president of the university and other faculty. We toasted many times to our visit and drank some really strong alcohol that woke me up quick. We also enjoyed Shandong's famous beer and a few people decided to sing for us from both groups. It was quite a day but a slower pace than the previous few days have been. I will miss you little black cat!
