Wellllllllllllll........

Well it’s day 5. Nothing much happened. When we were heading out for lunch we got lost trying to find a specific canteen we wanted.  We finally found the canteen after 15 minutes and it was next to the running track and the field. I ordered mixed rice. There was rice with some spicy chicken and a vegetable of my choice which was cauliflower and seaweed soup. The stall owners here always manage to con us of our meat. Like for example whenever I order chicken fried rice, there was always a minimal amount of chicken. Even today for the meat dish they managed to com me of my meat by cooking tiny slices of chicken with a large amount of capsicum and onions. We ordered Xiao Long Pau which is pork bun and pork dumplings. They put too little filling and too much dumpling skins in the Xiao Long Pau and the filling was really weird tasting. However, the pork dumplings were really nice but they too had more dumpling skin than filling. We headed off to the campus supermarket to stock up on food for our mountain trip tomorrow, which most of us are looking forward to. At the supermarket, I there was an entire row designated just for instants noodles and it was a really huge row!! I’ve noticed that certain brands of instant noodles put the noodle packets and empty paper bowls. On our way back to class, I noticed that they were a group on students carrying cleaning supplies. According to Irfanah who has been to Beijing on an exchange trip, the students here take pride in keeping their classrooms clean. Aaaaand I was too lazy to go out for dinner so I had instant noodles.
