I have not had a poor meal in Zhengzhou. The food, if oily, is great. Not many vegetables, I am not sure why.
On campus there are little 7 11 type stores, they are setup together and all sell exactly the same thing. There is one place to buy vegetables on campus. The seller has about 7 types of vegs to sell. We are a 40 min bus ride into the city. We are surrounded by construction and apartments. The university is huge, with 23,000 students plus staff. Most of these people live on campus.
I am teaching spoken English to first years. I did a very basic assessment with them when they enrolled. Oh dear, not good. It was interesting meeting them as there is such a variety in faces, attitudes and demeanour. On campus the first years are doing their 3 weeks military training, lots of marching and shouting, no guns. And I swear I heard two lines of waltzing Matilda being used for marching.
A big surprise is that I am also teaching "Western Culture", go figure!
