Sick in Shanghai

(Dareus)

Unfortunately right before our weekend excursion to Shanghai, I somehow got a bacterial blood infection which caused me a fever so I was mostly restricted to the hotel room and the surrounding block. There were a few occasions when I felt good enough to go out and see things so I’ll talk about those but also about my experience at a Chinese hospital.

Shanghai Nights

(Max)

So this past weekend we traveled to Shanghai by speed train. Shanghai was actually the city that I was most looking forward to seeing before the trip started and it did not disappoint. We did a series of activities that even the most veteran tourists would be proud of.

Football Brings the World Together

events of March 2

Sunday morning, I got some much-needed rest. It’s amazing what 13 hours of sleep does for you. My host brother Kevin took me down the street to Zhejiang University for some lunch. There is a food court there that sells strictly Islamic food, so we went there, and it was delicious. Earlier in the trip someone wrote about the big bowls of soup in Xi’an with the pancake noodles. We basically had that again, but this soup had noodles and some kind of vegetable. I was still full from the giant lunch we had yesterday, so I didn’t eat a lot. Kevin, on the other hand, was very hungry and had a lot of food, so we walked around campus to burn it off. He showed me the different buildings around campus, and the surrounding area. We went back to the apartment for a few hours for some rest and so Kevin could finish his homework.

Snapshot

(Heather)

This will be a very brief blog post, as I’m quite tired at the moment. Nevertheless, I wanted to provide all of you a brief glimpse or snapshot of my life here in China. In particular, I want to write about my commute to school each day.
