Bei Hai's central point the white dagoba. 
A small corner of the park where we happened upon a group of old people singing, very beautiful.
A doorway in one of the temples, thought it was very pretty.
My adventures in China continue. Just today I was discussing with friends how it seems as though we have been here much longer than five weeks. I think this is a direct result of learning so much in such a small amount of time. My brain is bursting with information, desperately trying to register all of it. Maybe I can attribute the excessive amount of dreams I have been having to this.
This afternoon An Jie and I decided that we needed to get out of our little neighborhood. We ended up in Bei Hai Park. We had a really great time and had lots of chances to practice our Chinese. Having An Jie to share things with is definitely nice, she and I have just clicked since day one. Tonight we had fun experimenting with new grammar patterns at a local restaurant. Some of our efforts were met with great success, others with confused stares. That's a pretty good metaphor for life here. I know how Americans and Chinese both love metaphors.
