I haven’t been able to update a lot because I’ve been so busy with school (3-week classes are intense). Anyway, here are a couple of pictures.
The first is my street (Chungfu Lu) on a sunny day:
Starbucks! It’s called “Shing ba kuh” in Chinese, although I always pronounce it wrong because they have a sound we don’t have in English (a voiceless alveopalatal fricative).
I also got a picture published on the BBC. See it here:

(picture 8 is mine, it’s of a bunch of people on stairs with umbrellas).
The weather has definitely improved recently (and by weather I mean smog), so I’m not too worried about my health yet. Anyway, I’ll try to post again soon!
Edit: In case the BBC ever takes my picture down, here’s a screen shot:
