A lot of students graduated today. They all crowded around the taxi stop in clumsy lines outside of my dorm. I feel that their goodbyes are sad, because most students at my school are minorities, from all for corners - actually, the western two corners - of China. They probably won't be seeing each other again for a long time.
I just finished my last test for the week - feeling pretty fine. We have a written final and an oral final - I'm still waiting for my grades, but I'm pretty confident (= you jingshen).
Emily, William, Chris and I went to Maliandao this week - Tea Avenue. Consisting wholly of tea shops. We stopped by this place beforehand for food. A larger than life golden bust of Mao greeted us in the foyer - picture forthcoming.
Fatty braised pork was a highlight.
William had a little difficulty with the noodles, arousing the sympathy of a kind, toothless laotaitai at the next table.

"clumsy lines"
I like that I can visualize the scene with just those two words. Glad your first week seems to have gone well!
Aaagh. The food looks so good ... I miss real Chinese food so much it makes me want to fall down in a dead faint. LOL.
Let us know how your results are! :)
ごくろうさま!!
良い結果を期待する!!
Ooh, the braised pork looks really good! I still haven't been to Maliandao yet; is it good any?
by the way, it's Cindy! :)
