Exams are over and I got a whopping 96% average, yeah! After celebrating a little on the weekend, we had our class trip to Zhenjiang and Yangzhou.
Unfortunately, as the trip was also organized by our department, I turned out to be pretty Chinese in character, that is, spending most of the time on the bus and being marched through as many historic sites as possible in the given time frame. We didn't see anything of Zhenjiang city, but we spent a night out in Yangzhou. Being the only white person in the whole city ( presumably ), has its advantages ( free drinks, courtesy of the club's customer relations manager ) and disadvantages ( said manager expecting you to dance for the Chinese crowd's amusement ). If you're ever in town, try to catch the Stepping Stones at The Old Brewery ( 老啤酒厂 ), a Filipino band, nice bunch ( hey, Casey! )
Here are some pictures: ( I actually don't quite remember, which ones are from where - we went to three temples and two parks. You'll get the idea, though )
