Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from CAPS!
CAPS 2012 dining with CAPS alumni, faculty, and administrators in Beijing. CAPS 2012 with Chinese language faculty at the Great Wall.
Late Night Noshing
Finals have rolled around, and everyone here at Cornell (is mostly) studying. And writing. And studying, and writing, and finishing up projects, et al. This results in late nights, and with late nights, comes late night eats. I imagine typical students get something delivered from CampusFood.com, venture out to Collegetown Bagels, or go to the […]
恭贺新禧!

First snowfall!
Okay, so it involved silver iodide missiles (which I didn’t find out about until three-four days later), but it snowed in Beijing!
