Things are looking up!

This afternoon I made it to my class and back to the bus without getting lost or wandering around. I also didn't spend all the time on the bus wondering whether I was on the correct bus or whether I was going to end up some strange place and not know what to do.

You may ask why I was teaching classes on Saturday. Next Wednesday is National Day and so the University has a whole week without classes. However, there is a catch. Monday and Tuesday aren't part of the National Holiday so all the Monday and Tuesday classes got switched to the Saturday and Sunday before. Therefore I had two classes today. Following is a picture of the flowers planted at one of the University gates because of the National Holiday.

Last night Bob arranged a birthday party for me. Three other couples went with us out to a French restaurant called "Les 5 Sens" for supper. The food was very good and they even had salt and pepper and napkins on the table.

The University Administration Building

Convocation Hall

The original classroom at the University of Nanjing

This building contains the offices for the Faculty of Law

The building where Bob's office is located is now posted on his one entry on this blog.

Tomorrow we will be leaving for our "Silk Road Trip" so we will be away from our computers for a week. We may find an internet cafe somewhere along the way - who knows!

I'm glad that you are feeling more confident finding your way around!

That's how I felt in London on the train. I was terrified the ticket dude was going to throw me off for being on the wrong train. Have fun on your silk road trip.
