Day 4 - A simple orientation

It was a pretty hot day today, you can actually feel the heat from the ground rising up to you and warm air blowing towards you. Anyways, we went for a simple orientation in the campus this morning. We were brought to the place where our classrooms will be. It is on the top of the campus. The slope up was less steep than NP's but longer.

I came to know that our school is actually located just beside the sea and the scenary from the top is quite nice. And yes, we decided to send our dirty clothes to the laundry service just beside our hostel.

One of the Wuhan students who came to Singapore the other time, joined us for dinner and we had 麻辣火锅(Spicy Steamboat) for dinner. Her name is Ya Nan. All of us were sweating all the way because of the warm weather and the spicy soup base. It was quite nice, and all it costs is about 10RMB per person among 10 people! That is very cheap!

We will overnight at 绿林(Green Forest) Resort tomorrow till Sunday. We will be doing mountain trekking and whitewater rafting! So, see ya on Sunday then!

Reflections
The classroom facilities are quite bad here as compared to schools in Singapore. From what we heard from our lecturer, they don't even have projectors which we heavily depend on in Singapore. That's why we are still unable to start lessons until next week.
