Sch at Fudan

Well was at sch on Fri and Sat...Really nice place with our study room in a giant twin tower building with a nice lazy patch of grass perfect for snoozing. People here were really friendly, managed to go visit the grads rm which were 4 twin sharing rooms w a living room. They dont seem to have a habit of removing their shoes before entering and the rooms lacked a fan. Other than that think the housing is decent overall.

Lessons were other wisely interactive style and still hoping they can shift all our classes to fri so that we can have one time shiong day frm 9am-9pm...look forward going to have more general knowledge lessons like why car plates have the 沪 before the numbers in shanghai ( last time shanghai was a fishing village and one of the instruments they use for bringing the fish up the boat was using a 沪 so slowly it became part of a symbolic thingy of shanghai; n hey presto 沪 was found!!!)

Lunch was terribly expensive. The canteen only sold 菜饭. But there were many lanes so u just find the lane with the types of dishes u want lor. Problem was that the queues were atrociously long,and the veg dishes if they even got a sprinkle of meat on it, would be considered a mixed and cost 2.8rmb onwards. In the end, by mistake (thou my veg was purely veg) ordered 1 pork cutlet, 1 veg mixed w meat n toufu plus 两量饭 for 9.60yuan!!! Super exp considered it was a sch n my normal meals dont even hit 8yuan. Next time going out of sch to eat lo.

Today after sch when to 五角场 to makan n shop. Ate at this franchise pasta shop my houshold ate the other time. Pasta only $1.8 and really nice. But i was really hungry recently so ordered another garlic chicken hotplate ($2.4 only OMG!!!) Super full and satisfied aft that. Walking ard saw this BBQ turkey wing; show u the pic tml. It was so HUGE; think abt the size of the spring chicken...manz if only they had the drumstick and not the wings!!!

Next week having the Spore Consulate gathering with the other Univs than aft that potluck for the 3Lonyang house holds (celebrations for mooncake festival), jap buffet orged by junjie for GIP NTU, friendly games b/w Fudan students and us!!!
