some random pictures!!!!

My room!  This was my first day spent in my actual dorm room, and not the hotel room that they stuck me in the first night.  It is nowhere near this clean now...haha

This is on my campus. Can you believe it?  So gorgeous and greeeeeeen!!!  Thank you, ECNU (East China Normal University) - the prettiest campus in Shanghai....

Out and around the corner....we are located near the downtown of Shanghai -- only a 10 min subway ride!

YuYuan -- neat, no?  The Yuyuan garden in Shanhai is one of its main attractions.  The bridge is literally called the 18 corner 9 side bridge.....go figure.

TheBund --- riverside view of Shanghai's TV tower....

Just a random street that looked pretty peaceful....
The Bund (the riverside view -- the "hot spot" of Shanghai --- similar to the tourist attractions that Chicago's Millenium park has to offer....)

多伦路 Duolun Road - A famous historical road that houses the "great thinkers" during China's revolutionary period ~ then, a coffee shop filled with radical writers and now, a street filled with statues commemorating their desire to seek truth and spread wisdom

Cock fighting ring at one of Suzhou's gardens --- entertainment for the locals, I suppose....

and just as entertaining for us as well...I put my bets on Meghan ~ (on the left)
Traditional lantern + light bulb = globalization.

The Crew: Virginia, Nick, Meghan, Me, Ellen ~ Suzhou 苏州 lookin' good

Group photo! I felt ambitious....

View from the bean-hole.  pretty neat, I thought...until I got badgered to turn around and be part of a group photo.....
