I’ve tried twice but never got beyond two posts. With me being in Shanghai and twitter’s increasing popularity I’m thinking about giving it a third chance. Let’s try it for a few days.
I get several of these messages per week. Mostly from China Mobile.
Perhaps I’ll get a new cell phone if I decide to stay longer.
Ubuntu 8.04 brought me Firefox 3 Beta 5 which is not yet supported by one of my crucial add-ons. Chinese Perapera-kun translates Chinese words by hovering over them. Very useful.
Now I have to get along with these:
The midterms are over and learning for them has improved my Chinese quite a bit. Inspired by a student of Sinology I had decided not to study any tones as memorizing doesn’t work, I can’t speak them anyway and most Chinese also understand me if I don’t use them. That doesn’t mean that I won’t try to learn them by speaking.
In the midterms we solved some exercises in teamwork and I would have never thought that one day a Chinese would copy from me in a Chinese exam. ;-)
According to Tongji it’s no problem to stay longer as long as TUM agrees. So the question is: Do I really want to stay longer? I don’t know. Fortunately I don’t have to decide right away.
I asked my coordinator in Germany and she said I could stay longer. Let’s hope that I’ll get another admission from Tongji. If everything works out I would fly to Munich, write my exams and come back to Shanghai.
The beginning of our two day study trip to Linan organized by the International School. Price: 50 Yuan (about 4,50 Euro).
Five buses in front of the International Students Building.
Large houses being built in the middle of nowhere. We’ve also seen developments with dozens of new, empty houses.
Oriental cherry?
“It is a good chair, it was made in Japan and was used in German in 1997.”
In front of the Rainbow City Lifestyle Mall.
Feihong Road and an entrances to the metro station Linping Road.

The only thing I bought. Very useful. And only 32 Yuan (+ 2,90 Yuan for the bulb).
We just said we want something without meat and something with. I always said yes when the man, seemed to be the owner, asked about tofu, corn, etc. as I eat all of them. I never intended to order all the things… A great deal too much food for two persons and not as cheap as it could have been. But very delicious.
Ok, better than this.
Match your bedding to your dress. Or the other way round.
Better than living food.
