Shandong University Night Life (山東大學)

Tradition says that when I go travelling, there must be hot chocolate. Apparently it took 5 days to fulfil this tradition, but we have finally managed.

Another two hour lecture down and we have managed to have practical exercises with Factorial and Fibonacci functions. It is worth noting that when I figured out what I was going to be teaching (our lecturer doesn't really tell me what's going to be happening in the lecture beforehand), I quickly attempted to whip up a function on my own computer, which I couldn't actually get compiling. Still somehow managed to get other people's functions working nicely, and when I came back to my own computer, I don't know what I actually did but suddenly it started working.

After the lecture, a tremendously good evening ensued filled with outdoor Table Tennis till we kept on missing as we couldn't see the ball anymore, and a proper Chinese Dinner in a good restaurant. The funny thing is that this dinner put the "official welcome" dinner's which the school gave us, to shame. I guess it's universally true that it's the students who know where the good food is.

And the night life around here is amazing. The ANU campus is usually completely dead after sundown, save a few pickpockets and scared students scuttling from building to building. Here: they're playing volleyball, dancing, doing tricks with inline skaters. All kind of signs of a proper city and probably also a side of effect of it being cheaper to live on campus. Yes, you understood correctly people living at UniLodge, it is cheaper to live on campus, not three times as expensive.
