Tianjin, China and some dorm room pictures.

Saturday was a day trip to Tianjin, China for all exchange students. I had an incredible time with great friends and got some pretty cool pictures as well.

I think I'm just going to list some of the best ones here -- You can find many more in the photo gallery.

My group from BISU happened upon a wedding when we were about to leave, the amount of firecrackers that went off was ludicrous. I think there were multiple spots around the city that were also setting off fireworks, as a sort of countdown for the arrival of the bride and groom. This was no cheap wedding. The hummer limo in the black and white picture above was the vehicle of choice for this particular wedding.

This gentleman here was taking advantage of an entire group of 'rich' foreigners and asking for money. But, this area was for a wedding, so that is the finger of a man telling him to get goin'. Beggars are a real problem sometimes, they don't leave you alone because you're a foreigner, and they'll start tugging at your clothes and harassing you until you either get away or be a bit mean.

This was my favorite part of Tianjin. We were promised a lunch by the school if we went. Well, the lunch turned out to be a little cold, crunchy, and not-so-tasty snack. So, a group of us rebelled and went to the most expensive place possible (unintentional). But, it was worth it, the 7 of us got a private room with couches on the third floor. The meal is what we call hot pot. Which is basically a bunch of raw foods and some boiling water in the middle. More pics of this can be seen in the gallery.

Hyungjin Oh is my old roommate and Audrey, of course, is my travel partner from UNF.

This is all of us, excluding me -- Behind the group is where the fireworks took place.

Again, check the gallery for more pictures.

Last but not least -- Some dorm room pictures:
