I'm heading off to Xi'An in 20 minutes or so, so I need to make this
a quick post! I finished all my midterms yesterday and now is the start
of my one-week spring break! I'm very excited and we'll see what adventures
will await me in Xi'An.

The past week, aside from studying for midterms, was pretty chill.
I witnessed a Chinese debate on whether or not dating in college is
advantageous to the average Chinese student [sad to say that the side that
said it's not advantageous won the debate :( hahaha]
But nevertheless, here are some pics:

So this event/debate was run by HIT's student union. I think it's really cool how official this whole thing was (complete with timers). I'd just like to mention that this formality/strict following of formality is not only present in debates, but also present in variety shows where there are Chinese MC's. This whole aspect of formality and observing rigid rules/etiquette is something I find interesting in Chinese culture.

Alright, so to conclude this blog post (I now only have 5 minutes left) here are
some random pics I came across since my last post:
Sorry for the blurry pic...but do you see the car DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALK?! Literally I was walking down the street minding my own business when I hear a *HONK* and a rev of a car engine which made me jump a little. Ahhh China...
What a slogan! I mean, let's see Charmin Ultra top that...

Alright all, I'm heading off now, see you in a week!
Best,
Sam
