To be quite honest I don’t think there’s much difference between the Long Term or the Short Term courses at BLCU.

But whilst writing a response, I had to stop when I realised that I wasn’t being objective enough.
I found this song/rap through a post made by 宝茹, and I just couldn’t help but like it. Maybe it’s because it’s been a super long time since I last heard any er hua?

The university area which BLCU (Beijing Language and Culture University) is located centers around Wudaokou in the Haidian district. I’m not going to go into any details about Wudaokou in this post since I’m sure there’s been a whole lot of changes since I was last there. But because Wudaokou makes up a significant part of the BLCU experience, I think it’s necessary to touch on.
