Lots of things could happen in just one week when I really get my ass to business. Talking to people who are older than me sometimes makes me nervous, since I am always afraid of saying anything offensive out of my big mouth. I need to learn, man~Being a newbie in the new environment is not something fun, and sometimes I think I am just too prudent, or maybe it's because of the generation gap...

Anyway, lots of progress has been made in the past one week, which I am very proud of...Other than the inner heat I am suffering, which did some damage to my tongue and lips, I could finally have the access to Wikipedia, and I finally could build my Sims 2 community!!! Also, up till now, I have had six hamsters!! I do find myself addicted to this virtual world and this hamster kingdom, which keep me busy during my spare time.

It's said it would be difficult to find a house after June, as lots of graduates will need shelters then, so I will have to get down to that business soon, though I am still lucky to stay in this dorm. I will miss "Comic" for sure, because it's the most convenient way to watch TVs and movies, but I survived before I knew "Comic", so I will be just fine without it.

Staying in the dorm whenever I am free really makes me the official "sunshine-house-man"...darn...I am going to be a redneck countryman soon too, and because I am so darn proud of it, I am also the super stubborn ass.

I am gradually getting myself used to this new environment where I might be for a long time. Though lots of gaffes, I believe that next week will be much better, as whenever I find my comfort zone, I can rock or at least I have this confidence. Up till now, everything's going on quite well, and I feel grateful for what I have now, even though the road ahead might still be unclear and gloomy sometimes.

I might be moving out of this wonderful campus next week, since the school doesn't allow us to stay any longer, which sucks. So I will have to look for a place to stay close to where I work. Forget about the noisy street and beautiful nightlife in downtown, all I need is a warm bed and a nice shelter where I have the access to the Internet. :P~~Hope it's not hard to get...

Let's see what's going to happen next week.

Bless~

I didn't know how delicious Wuhan could be until my cousin introduced so many yummy dishes to me...Now let's get started with the drooling food...

Doupi-'Bean Cover'(No beans at all)	Reganmian-'Hot Dry Noodles'

Hutangfen-'Rice noodles with pepper soup'	Guihuamijiuhu, Jianbao and Yabo-'Sweet Osmanthus Rice Wine', 'Fried Dumplings with spicy sauce' and 'Duck Necks'

Spicy BBQ for the end of the day...

Known as one of the three hottest cities in China, visiting Wuhan would have never crossed my mind if my cousin is not studying in Wuhan University. Wanted to well spend some time before my busy days, so I bought the tickets to the 'summer furnace'. It was pretty fast from Shanghai to Wuhan-8 hours! Nice!! I slept well except some uncivilized people smoked on the train, but that was ok, I could live with it for 8 hours. The next morning when I got there, I was disappointed at what I saw-the roads were muddy and narrow with lots of dirty buses and cars, and even trucks. Oops~~But it was all good when I got to Wuhan University, which is considered one of the most beautiful universities in China.

Sakura Roof	Student Union-the origin of corruption

Although they have the nice trees and beautiful green roofs, the students living condition is not so good thanks to the relatively less funding for this university, which is a shame, since I hope all those great architectures need better protection and maintenance.

Down Sakura Roof	Square land and round heaven-tradition Chinese value

East Lake	Road down from hill

I think I twisted my ankle when walking down from the hill, and for the rest of the trip I was in pain...That's sad...:(

Mr.Sun-the father of new China	Xinhai Revolution Museum

It was pretty nice that day after the rain, and this city was not dusty at all. And because of this season when students are studying, people are working, lots of the places are not crowded...Nice~~

Conference room	Nice building

'Magnificent' in Chinese	On Tower of Huanghe

Tower of Huanghe-the symbol of Wuhan	Huanghe=yellow crane

My cousin had never been to Huanghe Tower before my visit, even though she has been studying three for 3 years. It was worth it, since it's the symbol of the city. When I remembered a poem by Libai, the most famous poet in Chinese history, I realized how interesting it was when I came up to Huanghe Tower from Yangzhou...

"Old friends said goodbye on Huanghe Tower,

Going down to Yangzhou in blossom March."

Wuhan Changjiang River Bridge	On ferry

Wuhan Changjiang Bridge is the first bridge across Changjiang River, started by the Russians, finished by Chinese.

Jianghan Rd.	The old biggest night club, now a big shopping mall

With the colonial cultures, Wuhan is like Shanghai to some extent. It's easy to tell from the styles of the architectures. Outshining other cities 30 years ago, Wuhan is not as special as then, but it does has a bright future in the next 20 years.

It's March in Luna calendar, and it's the best time to go the old city-Yangzhou to see flowers. I always wanted to go there when I was in Nanjing, but I didn't find the best opportunity to go there. This time, instead of going to Lushan as I planned before, and due to same problem that always happens in China during holidays-BUSY TICKETS, we ended up having the chance to visit Yangzhou. Without lots of heavy industry and polluting plants, this city is relatively "cleaner" than Suzhou and Wuxi. I always think the beauty in a city includes scenery and people, and yet Yangzhou seems to lack the latter. Or maybe I am wrong because of my hasty conclusion in just a short stay. I have seen what it's like in March, and maybe I guess this is my first and also my last time to go there...If I have to give a score of this trip, I would say 6 out of ten.

Another funny is instead of having a nice Yangzhou Fried Rice, we went to Pizzahut for lunch. That's very "traditional". Next time I travel, I need to do enough homework so that time will be really well spent. Anyway, there is no such thing as perfection, so all in all I am pretty satisfied with the trip, and that's just nice glimpse of the spring.
