Whew, truly been a while since I wrote here.
As I am writing now, I have spent my good half of "studying" period (more like a holiday period though) in Beijing, China, where I study Mandarin. Notice my English grammar going awry? Yep, apparently they say men have less capacity in linguistic knowledge.
Anyway, just to update myself briefly (as a future timeline) I would like to note that it has been very good here. I visit a lot of places, earned new friends, eaten plenty of food, and spoke plenty of Chinese. I do wish to sit down one on one with a genuine Chinese to exchange opinions on philosophy and politics though, but I have yet to be able to find one, and I think doing so might get me into trouble.. or not. hehe. Perhaps after the Shandong trip I shall set aside some time.
Another thing worth mentioning would be the interesting Buddhist Youth Circle that I am participating in; This is the first time (well technically) I have enjoyed such an amazing group Buddhist devotion with fellow Indonesian youths. As my roommate pointed out, to find such a group with mutually agreeing and supporting beliefs is amazing; finally I get to attend proper Dhamma discussions and figured out Buddhist jokes (wow!).
Sad to say though, a good number of them are barely two three feet deep. It's alright I guess, as life passes we dig deeper. At least I have found my starting point, and I know which direction to work upon. Then again, I am not a Buddhist, strictly speaking, thence I don't think I shall commit too deeply anyways. I must credit them, however, for making me think, for making me learn more about organization, relationships, fundamental concepts, truth, and to otherworldly topics such as hypnotism.
Are you still there after all my rambling? good! Haha.
可以说，这几个月我度过了一段美好的时光。我感觉很开心，不过说实话有点儿担心。因为在北京的时间不那么长，害怕很想念这个地方和这几位朋友。谢谢你们！我应该趁这些机会跟他们度过时光，更深了解他们。。
sorry, just had to practice my Chinese. haha:) I've no idea if my grammar and usage is correct though.
Cheers,
Truly Indonesia's Finest.
(p.s. 我还没找着那位中国现在的领导和公主。。没事儿吧）
