This made the cold weather pretty unbearable. Even our beds felt cold even as we were all huddled up under the thick blanket.
Brrrrr….. colddd……
poor kitty in the cold...My roommate and I tried to make ourselves feel at home as we unpacked our luggage and made full use of the facilities of the place… Muahahas…
After which, we headed down to meet our China counterparts. It felt really awkward due to that I am a pretty shy person myself and that my mandarin is pretty weak… it’s been like years since I last had to do a proper conversation in mandarin. Whoa.. pretty stressed..
But before that, this is my very first meal in Dalian…
After meeting my counterpart, she brought me around the school compound and showed me some of the works of from the school of design and arts of Dalian..
a tribute to the china earthquake
cool isn't this? how one can play with reflectionsMy counterpart’s name is Liu Shuang- a year 3 Media and arts student from the southern part of China. Currently she’s twenty-two and her home town is actually a 12 hours train ride away from Dalian.
This has made me feel that the size of China is incomprehensible… having stayed in Singapore for my entire life!!!
After the meet up, we had a tour of the school and I have to say… the school is really beautiful and the brickworks are really like WOW… nicee…. It gave us the feeling as though we are in some Caucasian country instead.
Dalian Polytechnic University is also known as 大连工业大学. Its currently only 50 years old (younger then SP) and focuses on the arts and humanities and the light industries.
Here are some images of the School archive…
