which school are you in? are you studying mandarin?
I'm in a program with Georgia Tech faculty taught on SJTU campus. I have two classes on the Xuhui campus and one on the Minhang campus. I'm taking 1 EE class and 2 management classes, so no Mandarian. I live in an apartment in Minhang, unfortunately.

Ahhh,, I'm a spoiled brat that's come here to visit family till August, LOL yea, ik, lots of time, anyhow it's mostly vacation. I haven't taken any pics yet, because i live in the stupid hotel i'm in Fuzhou , most of my family is here, I'm technically interning, but i don't have to do anything since i'm under apprenticeship of my uncle "this is some sort of wierdo insurance company that co-ops with real estate (not realestate insurance), and like just random things, i guess this is an umbrella corporation, but it doesn't seem nearly as organized", "i get personal Car+ a Driver) and i get to spend money on anything, only one problem,, GUNDAM MODELS are MAD hard to find here. only 2 stores. Cloths seem actually more expensive here than in US even with the Currency converted.
Thats pretty much what i've been doing, and also ,, i saw this car that had a big sticker on it that said BATTLE CARUISER... Say that and stress the UUUU to urself ,, hilarious..
have you guys noticed that the water heaters here look like NUCLEAR gundam Pods. like the ones made by "HAIER" holy crap, those things are scary looking and HUGE...
Loving the squat toilets , no need for seat covers. Toilet paper here is sand paper grade though ,, no sooo bad,, but i've noticed that even if they're put in water, they show NO sign of disintegration.
Most people here make 2000 a month, I have no idea how all the new apartments being 6000Y+ per cubic meter are all BOUGHT and sold as soon as they are put up.
A good brand shirt here is like 200-300 "kid cloths" like nonchalant cloths,
Like anything Great is like 900-1200. i mean, i buy what ever i like regardless, but how the hell are the others buying it, seems like alot of fraud transactions going on here.
Buying realestate here has to be 100% pre approved by government, soo, lots of people bypass that here through insider tradin methods. I think this is terrible because land here does not have "pre" determined usage, so you can build a Coal plant next to apartment buildings if one had the necessary connections/ money. "it's unlikely still, but it does allow things like polution and overcrowding to occur."
IT"S FKING HUMID AND HOT.. let me say that again IT"S FKING HUMID AND HOT
Apparently Beauty is 50% in the hair.
I looked around years ago when no one had their hair styled, and all the girls looked Plain,
NOW however, I was shocked when i got off the plane, I was like,, DAME i'd hump any one of these, HOLY jesus.
Azn girls in US "somewhat" Pale in comparison
Only problem though most girls here in fuzhou have annoying accents, ugh, i just can't take it sometimes.
