Today we visited Shanghai Normal University Freshman College. First we visited the dorms, which were pretty spacious. They had a bathroom separated form the shower and the sink area with a mirror. Every bed is lofted with the students desk and dresser underneath. Each dorm has a cultural and study room. They do not have programs or resident assistants these rooms are put together by a committee, who also helps with mediation also, but do not have to live in the dorms. Also for some of you reading they called them dorms not resident halls like our housing is called at Lander University. I assume it is lost in translation.
After lunch, we practiced our calligraphy and painting skills with the Art Majors in Shanghai Normal University. I had great practice writing my name and other words in calligraphy. Next we went to the gym to learn Chinese Kungfu. We learned parts of the three performances the students performed for us. I think the performances with the fans were the most difficult, besides the numb-chuck's practice.
Today was really fun! We had dinner at westernize restaurant called Sally's. It was very delicious and I didn't realized how much I missed fries until tonight. I think my favorite part about the day was the kungfu practice and having the students teach us what they are learning in their major.
