This is Yang Laoshi here... We arrived at Shanghai tonight!!! (June 7th... well, now it's 1:42am on June 8th in China). We are having such a wonderful experience so far. For me, it started by seeing Michael J Fox himself at the NY airport, and guess which movie I watched on the airport to Shanghai - Back to the Future (surprise!:) East China Normal University school bus got us smoothly at PVG. Lin Xiaolin in is a wonderful graduate student at ECNU, who came to the airport to meet us. President Tom Kepple flew from Sichuan to join us.
Astor House Hotel is as old as I imagined (old in a very nice way). I feel like I'm following the steps of many famous people like Einstein and Charlie Chaplin, just to name a couple, who had stayed here many years ago...
We all went out to the neighborhood restaurant where we had Chinese BBQ and hotpot: what an unusual food experience! I'm extremely proud of my students who all tried news things and enjoyed the food a lot! - I'm going to have another post about food with pictures. Well, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to download and post pictures/video clips... now it's almost time to go to sleep - or take a nap:)
Can't wait to see more posts from my students!!! And more excitement tomorrow!
