Our UNC study abroad advisor came to visit us in Beijing. We were treated to an awesome dinner at a famous Beijing restaurant. It's been fun having someone visit us while we're abroad - it definitely makes you feel less detached from home. Tomorrow we are meeting with the rest of the UNC students studying abroad in Beijing and are having the world famous Peking Duck!My roommate and I talked about college life today. At Chinese universities, there are separate guys and girls dorms. In addition, people of the opposite sex are not allowed in your room. Curfew is usually 10 p.m. on weekdays and it is strictly enforced. Rui (my roommate) was very interested to hear that in the US, most campuses don't have a curfew and you can pretty much go anywhere at anytime.
