Took some pics along the way:
The teachers then introduced to us some of the classrooms we'll be using and also a few china students who'll be interacting with us along the way. And they are really friendly and helpful. I'm sure I'll have a great time with them :)
After that, we went to see the big canteen and the food there is really cheap!
After bringing us around the campus, we went to a big supermarket to buy all the things we need. I didn't know shopping for these stuff can be so 'mah fan' at times. Haha..
At about 6 plus, Maqqie(who just ended class) brought us around to buy more stuff, helped us with the negotiations and bought sim cards and she showed us where she's staying. And while walking, I got to talk to her and realised that studying in English for some subjects for them is very tough. I admire them for their perserverance! I think I'll be kicked out of school if I have to study in chinese because I won't understand :P hehehe...
Yay, I can finally contact da-jie with my china sim card! :D Hehe..
Refelection
Today, we had a tiring day out buying stuff, but while walking down the streets, I thought it was an eye-opener because the streets are very different from Singapore. And some of the buses have solar panels on top! How interesting and environmentally friendly. I felt that it was challenging speaking to the shop owners as I'm pretty lousy in my chinese and hence, very hard for me to catch what people are saying. Thankfully, we had the china students to help us around. I'll try to improve my chinese during this period of time as I think it's important for communication. I hope for the next few days, I'll get to interact with the china students more so that I can understand their student life here. And I think it'll be something very different from Singapore.
