Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Hello dear ones,

many thanks for all the comments and emails - I'm looking forward to hearing from you every time :-)

The Special Greetings go this time to the "old" Kollengen from the Q: wave after wave Nuremberg at this point - think of people :-)

Well, now formally part of the report ...

Thursday, 09/03/2009 - WOW!

While you slept I did my first sightseeing tour here in Beijing. David (a language student from Kazakhstan) and I met at 9 clock in the morning full of energy ... in order for the first time in peace and quiet to go for breakfast. Against 10, we then rose into the subway. I'll tell you: these things are here of something modern, there may even pack up the ghost subway in Nuremberg! At the entrance of the airport as the bag is scanned (and if you have bad luck you yourself also). Then a voice announces the arrival of the subway. When it is only the doors on the go other side, so that passengers can get off. And then the floodgates open (!) And doors so that you may enter it yourself.

Anyway, we went with this U-Bahn (line 13) toward downtown, where we arrived after 3 times (!) Change and just over 1 hour's drive in Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Square =). Directly in front of us, there were huge Chinese towers (on the picture you see the Arrow Tower). From there we walked just ne Touristraße long: all the houses were brand new fronts in the style of bygone days reproduced in those days and in it were then super expensive and modern shops (such as H & M, Zara ...). Since the road was a little long but (and ended in nowhere) we are with such a small antique tram back down (to see in the background).

And then we had a really difficult task ahead of us: we had somehow a 5spurige finally up the right tunnel and stood at the edge of Tiananmen Square! Right was the front gate and left the Mao Memorial Hall. And everywhere there were people! The place is absolutely huge! And then the crowds! Wow!

Our plan was to run from the bottom of the upper and then to go first in the Memorial Hall. However ... since you had to show the card ... and David did not have it ...

So off we went towards the Forbidden City ... where we are but only once turned left into the Zhongshan Park to go. Namely, we were now quite ready (after about 3 hours in this sultry). In the park we then have an aquarium with fish in it found strange - and, more importantly, a restaurant. Therefore, it was the first time take food!

counter 14am (and by even more running around) we were then finally at the entrance to the Forbidden City.

As I said, it was 14am and David had no ID there. Thus, we decided we set aside the Forbidden City for another time and then spend the whole day there. So we went back to the subway and change trains 4 times by the Olympic site.

have arrived where we first decided on a tour of the Forrest Park (which is no Forrest) to make. So we were able to let go around 30 minutes long in nem oversized golf card (for the equivalent of € 2 per person!). Since all grass-not-enter signs were and we were really tired, we are high after the tour a very small way and have since hidden the whole set of gardening on the grass. I tell you, that did something of a good lie simply in the open!

Unfortunately, it was already 4 am but soon and we still wanted to see the rest of the Olympic site, we have been armed with ice in the direction of the stadium on foot ... again ...

From distance was also very impressive (especially with the statues and small lakes everywhere) - from near the stadium was a bit boring ... but then ... just when smog alerts ... run

instead of once around the outside, we have (after photo session with a Chinese woman who desperately wanted to take pictures of themselves with us * lol *) again visited the metro. After only (!) Change 2 times we were already back at the university.

Meanwhile there was also almost 7 am and lunchtime. And in the canteen then again we had so much fun! David and I have to celebrate the day, the first Chinese beer made in Beijing and indulged to watermelon eaten. (The use here that is as much fat for cooking, that one hot meal a day is sufficient!) At the next table sat a Westerner, which I've estimated to be "could be German." So we have invited us to the table. After Christoph (= Switzerland, I was not so bad) we sat, there was another Chinese girl and has set itself to do so (Jennifer from near Munich * laugh *) and then there was still Claire (= Ghana) to do so. We were on the night that is quite a funny round :-)

And while David and Chris are still in NEN pub ... I've protected my feet and was about 10 am in bed.

Friday, 09.04.2009 - It's raining

Despite the many movements on Thursday I slept really super bad. After the train around 7:30 am I like always has awakened, I also actually fallen asleep again ... until the alarm rang at 8.30 has ... But it was really not worth getting up, that is out there, it has been raining in torrents . In the photo is the view of the campus plan - (! Despite the rain) so you get an idea of the sultry ;-)

I wanted to go this morning so the official opening ceremony before the main building. But ... that has already started at 8am ... and as I said, it rained. So once again turned around and started the morning only once cozy with tea and biscuits.

But against 12am I had to get out but once, since I was in fact agreed with Dipak (= Indian from my course) for lunch. The funny thing is, Dipak, a little German and would like to :-) improve the

Anyway, we were just really nice lunch times (6 different courts for not even 60Yuan !!!). And then get a metro card for him. Since Dipak has just arrived here, I gave him something the area shown around the campus. In our Uniplan

is that we will do after next week outdoor training - for which you need sports equipment. Neither Dipak I still have sports stuff here, so we are after the short tour have gone to the supermarket. However, we do not have T-shirts and short pants, had to get "Just" go away with shoes and lots of vegetables. But ... finally back good vegetables! The supermarket on the campus has won only fruit!

And next to this success, we have also found a language school that teaches the Mandarin (to book a time and can come no matter what day). Unfortunately, we have only 1 time a week, namely the Chinese and hands me back and forth ... not

evening I had then, the Challenge "wash wash". This meant first time to go # 19 to get a Laundry Card. Then to the supermarket can hang on hangers and then part of the one the wet UWäsche. And what was most difficult: Detergent!

the way I did then randomly taken Mexicans still nen who will study in my program equipped * laugh *

With all these things I got it but then actually get through the washing machine to start (and the things have even become clean!).

Saturday, 05.09.2009 - Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

This day started comfortably. What I want to go out on the water ... er ... when the air is out there?

14am To begin, the Welcome Ceremony at the SEM and was previously verdrödeln still far too much time ...

am against 13h then I came again in spite of all stress. Quick attract (what you wear when prompted "dress formally?) To swing on a bike (in the business suit!) And into the auditorium. Oh man, I tell you ... the room was really totally beautiful ('s also fresh renovated) and there were then about 200 people in it. And this level by 30 to a headset, ie international students who can not speak Chinese, I ;-)

ie any event, the Opening Ceremony was about 1 hour, in which the leadership of the SEM and welcomed to the big step, congratulates urges hard work and friendliness ... and everything in Chinese with grottig translation. After one hour I have at any rate the history and the university for at least 3 times Motti heard.

But that's not all, for now begins the Welcome Session. So once again a good 1.5 hours of talk about ... the exact same topic plus 1 hour "Tips and Reminders to our study (which can still remember no bad!) ... I tell you, that was kind of boring : Welcome to China!

It has also seen people really like the whole thing was exciting and a number of Chinese students has really gone to sleep there ... But we have held very well by international think * lol *

After the official program were then almost only "international" in the room and we have wild confused talk. The majority of them have to say is, Chinese-born and as far as I've noticed limit, the international real to about 10 people (including 1 other German, but which I still do not know and 1 Swiss I have not seen I).

have

After this exhausting afternoon five classmates (all Chinese Americans!) And I only decided to go eat something ... and that was again a very fun event. 3 of these people also live with me in the dorm, so we are open again at 7 there.

Conclusion: if the classes are boring as are the speeches, it is really tough times. But if people are all so nice, we are still quite a lot of fun!
