Today we went to the woman's history museum at the new university campus. It was such a beautiful campus and the students are very proud to call it their school. There are 24 different areas of study from english, math, and science. We made many students accompany us, my favorite were ellen and mia (everyone chooses there own english name, after their favorite american stars or idols). One interesting fact id like to share.. Back in the qing dynasty, a group of woman started their own characters. It was only used between them to share stories and conversation. Today, no one can read or understand the characters except a few historians. I thought it was interesting, having a secret language, almost like a code, that only the woman could understand. The pictures im posting are of me and mia (my favorite tour guide so far, she was so sweet and tried so hard to speak good english), me and ellen and joohee, and an example of the womans characters. There are a few extra pics from the rest of the day at the temple of 8 immortals. Its late and its time for bed.. Up early again tomorrow! Ps gege p means princess p! Pss. The fashion exhibit was my favorite part! I would totally rock those styles today!
