Pre departure meeting

Wednesday at UWA we had our pre departure meeting. Preparing us for what to expect as a international student at Zhejiang University. There were 236 student going to 18 countries and 80 universities. Enrollment day at Zhejiang university is August 29th with semester starting on 1st September.

We have contacted a real estate person in Hangzhou and they are keeping us informed. Hopefully they will have a few apartments for us to view when we arrive. Will be staying at the campus until that happens.

INTERNAL TRAVEL.

Wayne is busy researching travel plans for the October (Chinese National Day) holiday. Hoping to go to Wudang Shan . Home to many famous Daoist temples. An estimated 200 million Chinese will also be travelling at this time as they return to their home cities for the holidays. Travel on trains and buses will be interesting ( christine said it will be chaotic!!!!)
