As there are no posts yet, I figured I'll get this rolling. :-)

I've been living in Beijing now since February and will be here for at least another year.  Not a big fan of the pollution here but, other than this, a like the city.  It's my first time really living in a city as well.

Studying Chinese at Tsinghua University and will stay here for another semester or two.  Starting to make contacts in the Chinese medical field now which is a good start for me as I came here to further my studies.

I am the first comment?

How about your Chinese learning?

I just moved to Beijing in August.  Since I am working full time (in an English-speaking environment) it has been challenging to have as much time to learn and practice Mandarin.  I am pretty keen though and have progressed.

I am excited to continue my learning and see how far I can get while I am here (which will be 2+ years).

Not sure if you guys are still monitoring this site, but if you are, i'm up for pushing forward my mandarin studies outside the home.
