I am a 20 year old Neuroscience student from the University of Arizona. I've taken Mandarin for approximately 3 years. I will only be in Beijing for about a week; I am just touring the city before I take the train down to Shanghai. I am attending Donghua University for the summer.

I'm looking for somewhere close to the city center and very close to a subway. I plan on touring the city a little bit on my own. I would like to practice my Mandarin, and I should be able to keep up at an intermediate level.

I enjoy running or any other physical activities. I'm open to try almost anything. I would also love to help cook any meals. I always like learning new ways to cook!
