J+129 FREEZING day, -6°C in Nanjing !


Today was a Freezing day. Temperature went down to -6C!
To answer a question that has been asked, the classrooms in my school ARE equipped with a heating system, HOWEVER, it's almost there for decoration. I've seen it "ON" twice, for 10 minutes each time; no more.
One of the students in the class is responsible of the remote control, and the final decision "whether we can turn it ON or not" requires the class monitor, head teacher, subject teachers agreement~ so it never happens ! (My monitor is never cold, he therefore doesn't feel the need for this... )
Today is Sunday, but we had school, just a basic school day. This is pretty common, they just want to make students catch up, practice more before the exams.
I, only stayed from 7am to 2pm, I had arranged with Lisa to get me out. I met up with an American girl also from AFS, we had seen each other a few times, but hadn't really talked that much.
I spent a wonderful afternoon! Her name is India (yeah, like the country)
I showed her a beautiful shopping centre, we wondered around, both needed some basic items which we victoriously found! Socks, gloves...
We had milk tea (of course...) and had some dumplings !
We couldn't understand most of the milk tea menu, so we just randomly pointed at drinks, and had great surprises! Delicious!
I will definitely see her again. Not too often, I do privilege going out with my Chinese friends, that's what I'm here for!
