Day 2 – Roomate, Subway
Get my keys to the room. Not your typical looking key…
Fits in like that, kinda weird.
Meet my roomate, a Korean guy named Kyu Jung Park, studying his masters here. Not able to communicate much more than that since he barely knows English.
Noah takes me around the city to various malls.
Beijing has a few “Downtown” like areas, instead of having just one big one in Toronto.
This one is called Sunnytune, and is similar to Yorkville with a lot of upscale stores.
Bape store is crazy decorated, way more than the one in NY.
Same with Uniqlo
The currency conversion rate is 1 Canadian dollar = 6 Chinese Yuan (also called RMB).
Took the subway around, here’s a photo of the map:
A lot bigger than the subway system in Toronto, and a lot more modern. Inside there are TV’s playing commercials and stuff, as well as electronic maps so you always know which stop you’re approaching.
EATING SUBWAY IN THE SUBWAY!!!
Until next time…

Ryan, your style as a blogger is emerging. You’re blogging the most mundane things, which is similar to what I do. When I get a criticism about my blogging as too mundane, my response is the more mundane, the better!
