Safe and Sound in China

Angus just got off the phone with March and is happy to report that after a loooong flight, a bus ride to Beijing Normal, and a yummy dinner, the very tired students of Bridge China are all settled into their beds. Tomorrow they'll be up and at'em early, ready to explore the amazing city of Beijing! Everyone is incredibly excited to start their summer adventure!
