华中师范大学

It is typical for people in China to show you their campus, so I took a walk around Huazhong Normal University and noted what I see on a daily basis. Here are a collection of pictures for you to get a better idea of what my school life is like:

This is the 国际留学生宿舍 or the International Student dorm or what I've been calling "home" lately. It is said to be the nicest dormitory on campus.


Here's my dorm's backyard. I think they're planning to clean this mess up and make more buildings... at least that's what we're told. I probably won't be around to see it though.


On the way to class:





Here is a standard dormitory:


This is the building where I have most of my classes (aka Building No. 6)


Flower displays in front of the building




Leaving class - people play wooden flutes here at night in the dark (it's kind of creepily awesome):


Pretty pavilion in the middle of campus:


This picture reminded me of my job back in Kansas:


Here's the sketch food hut outside our dorm where I promised myself I would never eat there because of their missing dog, noodles washed in dirty water, and just plain awful sanitation - alas - the longer you live here the lower your standards become:


The shortcut home:


And we end the tour with a fantastic picture of the main entrance to my campus. Fancy, huh?


And some Engrish that was posted right outside of my dorm... hmmm, with that grammar I'm thinking he shouldn't be too picky on hair color.


Tomorrow I will be checking out the local zoo. If it's not too depressing I will make a post about it this weekend (with the Pizza Hut Thanksgiving pictures that I'll be taking on Thursday).
