China is most definitely no longer Communist, in any way or form that I ve seen, it is instead a blossoming, highly controlled free-market. It's sad to me that a majority of Americans, in their ignorance, still view or perceive China as a Communist country, those days are truly long gone. My intensive language study is most definitely the hardest academic task I ve undertake. We learn approximately thirty new characters every three days, I study for about ten hours a day outside of class. So I have been very busy.
Time goes by fairly quick.
I wake up quarter to seven, then before I know it, it's 11 P.M. and time to sleep. Regardless, I ve gotten out to see the sights, and have enough time on weekends to mingle with the locals. Very nice people. Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been really busy doing research, and finally got some time today to check the mail. Had kind of a tense last week.
