We've Arrived!

Hello from a very cold Harbin! The time difference and all the travelling has made sleeping a bit tricky so I thought I’d update you all on the trip so far.
After nearly 30 hours of travelling we got here last night! Amsterdam was very windy so our flight to Beijing got delayed meaning we missed our flight to Harbin. Luckily, after a lot of running around, we found the right desk where the assistant was very helpful and managed to get us on the next flight. It’s definitely been an adventure so far! We were all very glad to get to the accommodation and be able to have a hot shower then climb into bed!
It’s currently 6am and -22°C outside but nice and warm in the accommodation. We’ll be wrapping up well before going outside! There are lots of Christmas decorations around and everyone seems very friendly. We’re looking forward to meeting our tutor and other students in a few hours.
That’s it for now but hopefully there’ll be some pictures and more updates soon once we’ve got more to tell!
