school started! >,<

My school is located at ‘Zhongshan Beiyi Lu’, which is an hour away from the apartment! so I have to get up VERY early! However, I’d rather travel an hour than live on that terrible campus!!

NOUTH?! Is it NORTH or SOUTH?? Well, it supposed to be NORTH =p
It really confuses people who are not able to read Chinese!

Actually, school started 3 weeks ago (!) We had been through a stressful period during the first 2 weeks, because we had too many courses! We already had an intensive Chinese course, but under the requirement of our school in Holland we also had to attend at least 3 business courses! In this case we would have 32 Chinese credits in total, while we only had to fulfill 15 credits during this semester!=_=”

We had spent a lot of time complaining! Finally our school gave us permission to drop 2 business courses (PFEWW!) Now we have Chinese lesson from Monday till Friday (8.30 – 12.10u) and International Political Economics (BLEHH!) at Thursday (13.20 – 15.00u).

Well, below u can see some pictures of my school ..



My Chinese school @ North Zhongsan No.1 Road


My Business school @ Guoding Road

It looks quite good from the outside right? But once u get in the building, the image will change immediately! The first time we saw the class, it looked like SHIT! The tables were very low, like it’s made for children at primary school! Also the chairs were very small and hard which caused foot numbness after just one lesson! And OMGG u must see the toilets! Chinese people used to pee in a hole in the ground! It’s so dirty and it really smells like… whatever I don’t wanna mention it!=X Furthermore there is no toilet paper (not only at school, but also at public toilets)! So when u’re in China, don’t forget to take tissues with u (!!VERY IMPORTANT)


The first one was made at our business school!
I wonder where ‘IT’ will go, because you can’t flush the toilet! O.o

After one lesson at level 2 we noticed that the level was too low, so we got to level 3 which took place in another building! This building was wayyy better than the other one! At least there were normal chairs and tables!=p


My class!^^ there are about 15 students in total!
The teachers and classmates are very funny!^^


Kimmy, Tongxin, teacher of Speaking and mii!


We, Kimmy and me, and 2 classmates:
Mint (Thaïs) and Lee Tong Xin (Korean)

Ohh btww I forgot to tell something funny! During Chinese lesson, Kimmy had created a fifth pinyin tone which is like this ~ .. HAHAHA the first time I heard this tone, I was laughing so hard that I could barely catch my breath!xD muahaha sorry for telling ur secret, kimmy =p but everyone should know how "clever" u are!^^ dont hate mi!
