Study hard, party hard ~


Sorry for not having blogged for a while now. I just didn't have time for me, who would think that socialize would take so much time ?
Well, for administrative things, I still haven't got my visa yet and they will keep my passport until 21st October. I still haven't any bank account here, so no way for me to order all the things i need from taobao. Which is actually not a bad thing for my budget haha.

So, what ? Life here is not that bad finally, you easily get used to it. I met so many cool friends at uni and we hung out a lot (too much) lately. Last week, i was out for like 4 nights. Around my uni, there are a lot of good restaurants/bars for international students and Beijing also has a lot of cool nightclubs.  So too much work to catch up now. Almost 20 hours of chinese classes per week + 7h30 of business classes. And the "Chinese Intensive Program" really deserves its name, so intensive.



Well, stop talking about courses ! Here are the only few pictures i managed to take (i'm soooo lazy or late most of the time so don't really got time to take selfies haha).

This is the view from my balcony, a sunset on Beijing ♥ better in pictures since you don't have the polluted air haha

This is my outfit for my first night party in Beijing. Top& Shorts from Jennyfer, bought them during outlet and love them sooo much. The top only costed 3$ !

A lot of people don't like this brand, too "teenage-style" or bad quality. Well, I always find cool stuffs there, for cheap prices and not that bad quality so, up to you though.

 And here is a close-up of my new faves of the moment ♥ 25$ in a shop at Yiwu, aren't them sooo cool ? Got the same in whites chu ~
Funny fact, in France, we got snack cakes called "Petit Ourson", here in China, we got snack cakes called "Petit Panda" haha. But they are actually not as tasty as they look cute.

And my first homemade cooking in China, okay, I won't die of starve this year haha.

Talking about food, I've lost 7 kgs since I'm in Beijing ! I'm soooo happy since I don't even make any efforts for it. 
Ow, big news, I've made up my mind ! I will got a tongue piercing this week end ! So excited and so scared at the same time haha. Will let you know how things work out. And on Thursday, I'll go shopping (first time shopping here, yay !) and to my first dance classes here (Belly Dance& Modern Jazz). Can't wait for it ♥ I have courses the whole week (from Sunday to Saturday since here, they just catch up the days off...) but after that, I have one week of holidays. So, I'll try to come back soon with, I hope reviews for some good finds from the market.

Arrival disaster

Hiiiii everybody !

Well, long time without blogging (not that my blog is really interesting anyway haha).
I arrived two weeks ago now at Beijing. But since then, no time to rest or even take few photos or anything. Just run all the time to resolve administrative problems. First, when we arrive at UIBE to register and take my room on the campus, they told me there is no more rooms except the public ones which means, no toilets and no showers and the toilets are not even the sit ones. Awful. Then, they finally manage to find me something more proper but the room mate was just too creepy and she already took all the common stuffs just for her. But luckily, i finally find out a cool apartment with 3 bedrooms. I took the middle-size one. It's pretty comfy for an apartment in China and my two room mates are two lovely taiwanese girls studying chinese medicine, so, that's really cool but the rent is quite expensive for even if it's still normal price for here : 3000 yuans without charges.

And well, after 2 days of administrative problems, we went with my mother on week end at Yiwu. It wasn't as great as we thought but I manage to buy few stuffs (that I'll make coord later !) and the hotel's room was just amazing ! I just find out what my future bedroom will look like ! (Pictures will come later)

After this little week end, we went back to Bejing and move in my new place. And the day after, my chinese class begun. I'm in a class full of international students, we are less than 10 people in the class, for the moment, I just get to know an indonesian guy, a thai girl, a korean girl and an american girl, well they are nice, i'm just not too sociable irl haha. The chinese courses are really hard and tough and the intensive program wore its name well since it's really intensive, business in french was already not that easy, well business in chinese is just hell. And my business class in english starts tomorrow, please kill me now. I also had to buy the necessaries to live, like pillows and quilt, so I went at Ikea with my mum and my room mates, Ikea in China is cooooool. I bought pillows and quilt to survive and few little things to decorate my room. (Pictures will come later again haha)

But besides that, we didn't got time to do anything particularly and I still haven't got my visa. Administration in China is really such a pain in the ass and they always try to get much more money than necessary from you, such cheaters. Anyway, my mother just left yesterday and I'm totally depressed and sad as hell. I already missed her so much. So didn't got the mood to do anything since yesterday not even my homework! So got to do it tonight. Hope to be back soon with more interesting things for you !
See ya ~
