There was only one hitch in our final plans for Sichuan. We booked the hotels (which we actually need confirmation from…) and we booked our plane tickets. The problem? We’re paying in cash and we need the physical tickets. eLong, the company we booked with and according to Wiki, is a subsidiary of Expedia, had quite a novel solution. Imagine a suitcase and a guy wearing shades, a hat, and a trench coat.

Class. Lots of class. Way too much class. Seriously, three hour long classes are unbearable, even when they’re interested. They’re just that bad. It’s like the clock doesn’t move during these classes.
Anyways, another Tuesday, another long day of classes. I got my Chinese test back and I didn’t do that badly. An 87.5/100 is pretty decent. City & Environment was interesting. I now know Shi Laoshi loves using Google Earth. He was so excited every time he used it. Such an awesome guy. He was basically showing us the layout of Beijing and some important structures and buildings. I can’t wait until I’m in Beijing next week! Marketing was pretty awesome today. We were discussing trends and consumer groups and near the end of the class, we broke up into groups to make up some consumer group names. My group didn’t fare too well (we just weren’t that good at it), but there were some funny ones. The one that won by a landslide of votes was “Moppies”, which stood for “morbidly obese people”.
