I'd like to thank all of the University of Arkansas Career Services team members that helped make this trip even possible! Without them I would have never been able to put a trip like this together. It was an incredible experience that I'll never forget!
The last week in Beijing was a blur of catching up on the last few things I'd missed as well as farewell dinners and goodbye's. The day I was set to leave Beijing I had a few extra hours in the morning to check out the 798 Art Zone. The art zone had all kinds of modern Chinese art that expressed a lot of the opinions and emotions of the younger Chinese population. As you can see from the pictures below, there is definitely a difference in attitude toward government from the younger population compared to the older generations. Surprise surprise.
After leaving Beijing and arriving in Seattle I discovered that I had a 10 hour layover until my next flight so after clearing customs and rechecking my bag I decided to head out and explore the city and have dinner with a relocated Fayetteville friend on the pier. Eating my first meal back in the states on the pier at Ivar's seafood restaurant was a great ending to a great trip!
That's all now for now. I'll keep posting more pictures in the future as I get everything together from the trip. Time for some Chipotle and sleep!
