Had more Chinese class today, the teacher taught us some basic phrases and words. She tried to teach us some of the actual characters as well, but I must confess that I am much more interested in learning to speak Chinese. Written Chinese has no relation with the spoken language anyway. After a couple hours of class, we went outside and walked around the city for an hour. For the first time since I arrived the weather was clear, so I took a few scattered pictures. We came back to campus and met Professor Shu-Chuan Huang, who is my advisor here. She took us to lunch, which I have written about separately.
After lunch Professor Shu (there is already a Prof. Huang, so I guess students call her by her first name) showed me around the EE building and set me up with a computer account on campus.
I wandered around a little bit and then went to the lab space where my roommate and other EE grad students have their own desks. People were still finishing up final papers and projects so I couldn't be too distracting, but I did grab a photo. Nothing else much happened today and I was able to write and post these first journal entries.
