Jan 17, 2008 - My first few days in Nanjing
This entry is going to be a little long because I am trying to cover three days in one, so feel free to skip over anything unbearably mundane. Although the directions I had from Shanghai to Nanjing (where I will be living this semester) seemed complicated: I had to take the Maglev (magnetic-elevated train) to the metro station, take line 8 to peoples square, transfer to line 1 to the train station, and buy a train ticket to Nanjing all in Chinese! (Or so I thought). ... Really though, it was very easy.This entry is going to be a little long because I am trying to cover three days in one, so feel free to skip over anything unbearably mundane.

Dec 8, 2007 - 南京-六朝建都之所在 NanJian - It's being the Capital of 6 Dynasties
今天由上海乘火車來到南京。南京雖曾六朝建都,但它給我的第一印相卻讓人有點失望。出得車站就有一大堆要你參加一日遊,住旅館,賣地圖等等的小販圍隴上來,讓人透不過氣來,一路上可見到不少乞討的老人及婦懦 。可能是因為在上海呆了一陣子現在不習慣了吧。 下午乘公交車到夫子廟一帶逛了一陣,吃了南京著名的鹽水鴨,獅子頭,百頁黃豆鴨等菜,口味的確不俗。也嘗了百年老店"蔣有記"的牛肉,味道不錯。之後又順道逛了秦淮河,夜景迷人,現在頗能体會出國語老歌"秦淮河畔"所描寫的意境。 We arrived Nanjing by train in the afternoon. ... They are necessary parts of food culture in Nanjing. ... We've tried some of the food such as Salty duck, Lion head (meat ball), beef soup etc, they were delicious.今天由上海乘火車來到南京。南京雖曾六朝建都,但它給我的第一印相卻讓人有點失望。出得車站就有一大堆要你參加一日遊,住旅館,賣地圖等等的小販圍隴上來,讓人透不過氣來,一路上可見到不少乞討的老人及婦懦 。可能是因為在上海呆了一陣子現在不習慣了吧。 下午乘公交車到夫子廟一帶逛了一陣,吃了南京著名的鹽水鴨,獅子頭,百頁黃豆鴨等菜,口味的確不俗。也嘗了百年老店"蔣有記"的牛肉,味道不錯。之後又順道逛了秦淮河,夜景迷人,現在頗能体會出國語老歌"秦淮河畔"所描寫的意境。 We arrived Nanjing by train in the afternoon. ...

71m and Nanjing a mere hamlet of 5. ... With lots of expats in Shanghai, we got stared at a bit (especially Susi, with her Snow White complexion) and posed for a photo with an eager bunch of lads, but in Suzhou and Nanjing, this was much more full-on, and coupled with many friendly shouts of "Hello!!". ...
