day 1 in suzhou

arrived in pudong T2 abt 3pm and by the time i was transferred to Suzhou, it was 5pm le...

walked ard the school grounds and was shocked by this long bright red banner that has my name and soon yeow's to re(4) lie(4) huan(1) ying(1) us. AND they got one of the characters (the "de") in my name wrong :/

that was still not too bad since my "de" is the less conventional one. the real shocker is our hotel room that was so small that we couldn't find space to open our luggage to unpack. We had to open our luggage in our beds (nope, there wasnt even floor space for that!), take out what we need, close the luggage and put it upright again. sigh. luckily i received a call that helped to alleviate the dire situation, Lol.

looked ard for another alternative hotel but we can't switch cos it would mean that singaporeans are very hard to please (which is sometimes the case). So we will be cooped up in the dingy hotel room that soon yeow said is really meant for sleeping.

while we were waiting for the lift, the corridor next the lift had rooms on both sides. But it looked so errie cos the lights were not switched on. this dong wu hotel is a perfect location for horror films :o

now gotta rush with lesson planning so that it can be delivered tmr.

sorry, no photos now cos i forgot to bring the cable out to this non-aircon and smoky i-net cafe in suzhou china.
