Media!

DOUBLE POST FROM FELLOWSHIP BLOG (NOTE: I LOVE REDHOT!!!)

So, by some unexpected miracle, I was able to upload a few video clips from when we scaled the Great Wall several weeks ago!

I filmed this first clip at the highest point we got to on the wall (which unconfirmed reports say might be the highest point the wall ever reaches). The wall was just as high up as it looks, snaking along a huge narrow ridge.



I took this video on the descent. The climb is just as steep as it looks. It was incredible, and by then it was probably only 7am or so. (Pardon my tongxuemen (classmates)--I think some language is audible.)



In other news, this week's not going too shabbily! Last night I and the other DSIC Yalies ate at a great duck restaurant with JE's Dean Kyle Farley and two instructors I hadn't met before, Peisong Xu and Paize Keulemans. We were at two tables and each had a whole duck! (Apologies to any vegetarians who might be reading this blog.) I really like the way we eat duck, wrapped up in a tortilla-type thing with a dark sauce and cucumbers--simple, dependable, and delicious! The meal lasted about 3 hours, but fortunately the night's lesson was quite short and today's classes went well.

Well, I mainly was just really excited that I was finally able to upload some video, so I'm going to go do my homework and post again sometime soon!

Peace,
Jon
