Last summer, I began the biggest adventure of my life. I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the ______ cities in the world.

As the plane ______ in Beijing, one of the first things I did was to ______ one of the city’s hutong. Walking around the ______ street, the warm air was filled with the ______ of delicious food as people played mahjong and ______ their old - fashioned bikes. This was the first moment I ______, “Wow, I’m in China.”

Beijing couldn’t be more ______ to my home city, Preston, which ______ a population of just 114,000. It has one ______ street that’s around 500 meters from one end to the ______ on Sunday, all the shops ______ at 4:00 pm. There isn’t a great deal of ______ when it comes to restaurants, either, and as a ______ of food, I couldn’t wait to see what Beijing has to ______. I still don’t have a favorite dish here yet – I’m still happily working my way through the city’s countless ______ to try to figure that out.

Inside the Rain Room

The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.

The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!
