Fudan University

big place...

lots of walking inside - very spaced out. I gotta say, they ain't very helpful for foreigners. Lots of forms in Chinese, with very little help to complete. Duplication, duplication and more duplication. Needing to bring 8 passport photos with me to register was always going to be a bad sign.

I think I know when classes will start now though - Monday. There's a 'placement' test tomorrow, which I can't make, which is to choose which class I should go into. They're going to slot me into B for the time being, given I won't do a proper assessment. And there's an 'opening ceremony' this Sunday.

Tiring this business - getting lost, making conversation with taxi drivers, not really understanding what people are saying - not understanding the purpose of the various forms I was completing and signing... also today was hot - so walking around in my big coat I got hot.

Back home now, for a rest.
