“Corn Mush” Yu Minhong’s TOEFL vocabulary book. After an 8-hour train ride, I got lost the moment I walked out of the station and had no idea which bus to take
A taxi seemed like a bit of a waste, so I set off alone through this city. I got soaked through, with the rain beating down on me. After asking countless passersby and a traffic cop, I really couldn’t find my way, so I flagged down two taxis. The first driver didn’t know the way, uh~~ I was speechless. Then I flagged down another one, and he more or less knew the way, so I got in, soaking wet, and waited anxiously.
Finally, 20 minutes later, I arrived at Shanghai TV University and went into my room, Room 210.

Then I spent the first night by myself
Lonely and excited, I couldn’t sleep and watched TV until 2
Then quietly fell asleep
The next day my roommate arrived
Ding Zexia
A friend who’s on the same wavelength as me, ha
Then at noon we went to the cafeteria to eat
And had class in the afternoon

But she was pretty friendly

I heard that one’s gay?
The days went by one after another
Meal tickets, potato chips, instant noodles, sleep, beer, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, Xiaohei, Xiaolan, Xiaozi and so on: these words made up my 12 days

Meal tickets and Xiaolan
So that’s how it was. The food there was really awful
But still, for 10 yuan the food wasn’t bad. Contentment is happiness, right~~~~

At first the classroom was totally quiet, but before long it turned into chaos

I brought my MP4 player just for recording. I recorded every lesson the teachers gave, and by the end of the course the recordings came to a whole 2GB……………
