On my campus. The building in the background is the classroom building where I had all my academic classes

Went to Wanda Theme Park today!
(also no it wasn't raining, people have umbrellas out because it was somewhat sunny)

I think this might post upside down, but a friend and I exchanged money from our home countries today! Now I have Euros even though I have never been to Europe 😀

Dinner with friends :3
Fish, chicken, bamboo shoots, and 皮蛋 (I don't quite know how to explain it in English cause my translator app literally reads 'a kind of preserved egg', maybe I will try Googling it at some point)

Went to the tallest building in Nanchang with my teacher and her son, her nephew, and her son's childhood friend. (Actually the outside of the building is a picture which is already on my blog! Just look for the post with a picture of a tall building, and it is that one.) The weather was stormy today but that made for some interesting pictures.

I ran into a friend because he was eating dinner with his friends at the same place I was. They were celebrating his birthday, and he asked where my friends were. I said they were out clubbing. He wished me well then returned to his friends and they went to buy drinks (beer).
But he came up to me again with this mango juice and said, 'I figured you wouldn't like beer, so I bought you this instead.' I already had a drink (my Coca-Cola in the picture) but it was really nice of him.

Because I didn't do anything today and this is very important.
I never knew there was a way to take green tea ice cream to the next level until I went to McDonald's in Shanghai.

Today I took the HSK Level 3 exam! This exam tests Chinese proficiency in the areas of listening, reading, and writing. There are 6 different levels.
I was the only person who showed up even though I'm pretty sure there was supposed to be at least one more. The exam went relatively well, but I think it's about 30 days until I receive my official results.

Entrance to our hotel in Shanghai!
It was rated pretty terribly on Booking.com, but it doesn't seem that bad to me.

Being a rebel at West Lake in Hangzhou! There's a sign on the bench which reads 'no lying down', in case you can't read it.

Made it to Hangzhou!
I'm travelling with three friends and we will be here until Friday afternoon, after which we will go to Shanghai. We arrived quite late in the day and so didn't do anything noteworthy. Tomorrow we will begin sightseeing to more popular attractions.

The studio! I was referred by another international student to do recording since her native language isn't English. I worked with a guy from Britain and we read dialogues which are going to be used to teach Chinese students English. I enjoyed it, and on the plus side, it was also good money - I earned more than American minimum wage, and all I had to do was read excerpts at a controlled speed.

Relatively new tea place at the supermarket near school with cute decor. This is one of three teddy bears in the shop.

Saw this sign at Coco's today while I was waiting for a milk tea.
Needless to say, I will be back very soon...
..like I might have toyed with the idea of going back later to buy a second tea
(but I also wouldn't know which one to pick, they all look so good ;~;)

cheesin' while chinese'n
This was during my speaking class, and we were covering how to say various feelings. When the picture was taken, we were playing a game where another classmate had to say a feeling in Chinese and then I had to act it out. My teacher says that I am good at facial expressions.

Went to a coffee shop to study with a friend because we are both taking the HSK (except she is taking level four and I am taking three) and we ordered this to share :3

One of the various (incorrect) shirts I've seen like this. The original text is 'Love you nearly as much as Kanye loves himself'. I've even seen one shirt which spelled his name 'Canye'..

It's hard to make out what exactly is going on at the moment in this picture. Yesterday while I was waiting for my teacher to pick me up for the concert, I saw some girls wearing graduation gowns who were taking pictures while holding sticks as if they were wands. I thought it was really cute.
This is just inside the main gate of my campus.
