This week has been a blast! Due to being locked out of the lab on Monday, I ended up getting the chance to explore more of TEDA. A friend and I visited the TEDA library, where we found their meager English section, consisting of mostly finance and computer textbooks and some world atlases. From there, we checked out the TEDA Archives, where we discovered that TEDA won an award for being the best host of the world ping pong championships. We then decided to find a tall building and check out a broader view of the area, which entailed lots of stairs and ending up on the 21st floor of a financial building. We discovered 2 pyramid shaped buildings and upon further investigation, found out that they are the botanical gardens, so a future field trip shall ensue.
Wednesday was also a blast. A group went out to eat Japanese food as a farewell dinner for some friends that were departing home for South Africa. Farewell, Tyron and Tacita!
Friday consisted of World Cup Fever: Brazil vs Holland. I couldn't make it through the entire Ghana game due to work this morning.
Next on the agenda... we're going to a party tonight where the Great Wall meets the Ocean at Shanhaiguan. It's about a 4 hour bus ride away and a group of 9 will be attending. I'm excited to see the beach and wall together!
that bridge and building look really cool! be sure to take pictures when you go to the botanical gardens :)
