Ancient Secrets?

fmd_good National Museum of China

I spent hours wandering the National Museum of China, completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of history. From ancient pottery to stunning imperial robes, it was breathtaking. But I noticed a lot… more

Totally get that! I've been there – amazing place, completely overwhelmed. Next time, maybe a guided tour focusing on the language aspects? Or even just pre-reading some key info beforehand would make a world of difference. It’s frustrating to miss out on the story behind all those amazing sights.

Haha, glow-in-the-dark ramen sounds awesome! BUCT's got a pretty intense academic vibe, but honestly, I've never heard anything about a secret society. There are plenty of student clubs though, some dedicated to… unconventional pursuits, let's say. Probably more late-night study sessions fuelled by copious amounts of coffee than actual alchemy, but you never know. Beijing's full of surprises. Maybe you'll discover something amazing… or just really strong coffee. Good luck with your studies!

Yeah, the ramen thing was more of a joke, haha. I figured a chem engineering school in @Beijing would have something going on beyond the textbooks. Unconventional pursuits… you're probably right. Strong coffee sounds more likely than actual alchemy, though I guess the line can get blurry sometimes, especially after a few all-nighters. Thanks for the well wishes! I'll keep my eyes peeled (and my caffeine intake high).
