Wow, very cool! You are lucky to get to travel as your school's ambassador... do they pay for any of your trip?
Be sure to take plenty of photos! I've heard that Beijing is a great city! Have fun!

So that's where you've been -_- Didn't know BCIT had programs like this. Congrats!

Currently not there; deciding on a new program. I definitely will when I go back, though 
Are you going to be back this September? We've found a lot of new players to strengthen our base-line-up on the CSL team, but we could really use your double Thor drops XD
Edit -- talent found: the last three words of that last sentence.

Think you mean yuan, not yen. You're in China, not Japan :D
But seriously, your trip sounds awesome. Do you know what section of the wall you went to?
As far as the bargaining goes, just remember: if they're still smiling when you complete the transaction, they are making a lot more money off of you than they should 
The rule of thumb we used for larger purchases while in China was 1:10 for value you should assume:value they will ask for. If I was told something cost 300 yuan, I would counter with 30. If you understand any Chinese, check how the Chinese tourists do it and aggressively go after the lower price, and you will have the shopkeepers crying and telling you that you are tai lihai (too terrible!) in no time.

Haha that haggling market you went to was probably called Silk Street (if it was huge and in Beijing).
Yeah you should start with 10% of the asking price, but since ur a foreigner it's gonna be really hard to get it down to that.
The girls are pretty cute though...and they speak like 4 languages.
How did you survive Nanjing's weather?
