Day 2 - Orientation!!







Woke up at 8 30am to prepare to meet the group at 9 30am. Very tired from the long flight and heavy clothing that we have to don to keep warm.

It was drizzling!! Although it was just a little rain, but in this weather, even a little rain is ALOT of coldness that I can take. Gotten to know which classroom we will be using and it has a heater!!! In this cold weather, even a little warmth is very good.

After being introduced to the following teachers who will be teaching us the IS module, we got to tour the school. The entire compound is huge, with many old buildings. It was like a walk back in time to see how china was really like in the past. After knowing where the important buildings are (classrooms and clinic), we are dismissed and we went for lunch. In the university’s main canteen, the students are each given a card (a little similar to the ez-link card). In each card, there is a value of RMB 100, which is used to buy food. As the food cost about RMB2.50 for each dish, the value can last for a long time.

We are allowed out of the campus for the whole day, as there isn't any lessons. We went to tour the city, while shopping for necessities. After that, we had steamboat for dinner.

Loves, Charmaine
