Pain on the Great Wall

China Highlights

So I've been a major slacker for the past month.  I'd like to blame it on intensives.  I've been working mornings and afternoons.  I've been getting off early on Tuesdays and Thursdays but I'd have to go to taekwondo for an hour and a half.  So I've been busy and exhausted these past few weeks.  Fraser has been great.  He's been cleaning my apartment and helping me out so I won't get stressed out.  Anyway here are some photos from our China trip.  I'll post some videos soon of me and Fraser on the Great Wall. They're funny.
