Shu at Canton!
Finally reached GZ 3 days ago.
Day 1
=====
Nice of NTU and YiHe people to go to the airport and pick us up. Turned out that one of our classmates from last batch was a DJ at 958. Checked into our apartments, pretty cool one, spacious and well-equipped. Ate at our canteen, fwah, the beef horfun is super oily! Think we've already boycotted the canteen on our first day. Next, we went out to this place near our apt for grocery shopping (hao you duo) and dinner.
Day 2
=====
Opening Ceremony at Guang Wai on a Sunday. Tho it's a Sunday, the campus is full of people.People taking part-time courses, students living at hostels roaming there. Feel quite old there as the students are all very young! Gosh...dont think I can make any China friends here. Then, we went to this place called "Tian He" shopping district..tonnes of people there. Upmarket place where things aint that cheap. Bought some groceries and Jay Chou's new album!! Yippie...=) Dinner at quite a decent restaurant, but still find some dishes too salty and peppery.
Day 3
=======
First day of school officially. Ok quite cool, lunch time was interesting. We took a metal plate and got our food from the stalls, essentially it's a survival among the fittest game, squeeze and place ur order, the guy over the counter will splash the dishes on the metal plate, and you pay by tapping your card. Quite a cultural shock as people were pushing and shoving yet we dont see any metal plates drop nor people getting hurt. Dinner, me F and L walked out to this place near our place (not exactly near, we walked like 30 mins and found out that we could take a bus for one stop later). It was like those more heartland shopping place. We went to this "San Wei Xiang" to eat "Xiang Cai" upon recommendations of a salesgirl we bought shoes from. Gosh...it's really nice..we had seaweed soup that's really really yummy (those that were cooked for hours) and ba si (sweet potato coated with malted sugar- super nice) !! That's highlight of the day, other than lunch. =)
