Party Party & The West Lake

Hi Everyone!

So since my last totally engrossing blog I have been very busy enjoying myself and being super touristy before my school semester starts at 8am next Monday. (Yes they happily informed me today that classes start promptly at 8am... = Sad Stephie!)

Last night, we headed out to the SOS night club with my American friends. To all my uni friends you shall be very envious as it was 60 kuai (about $12 Aussie) for all you can drink. To my family, don't worry your good little daughter did not stumble home at the weeeee hours of the morning to wake up hours later with a bad hang over, but she did stumble home from lack of sleep and exhaustion from dancing the night away! :)

Today... WE SAW THE SUN!!!!!!!! (after a luxurious sleep in!) we had our 'induction' which consisted of over an 1 1/2 hours of a history of Zhejiang University and the top 10 reasons why it is such a wonderful university. ...oh and not to forget the local policemen very sternly telling us about different types of visas! (in 3 different languages)

Though.. after all of this we did get the rest of the afternoon off! :) So we went for a snap happy walk along the West Lake. It was so beautiful and we were able to find an amazing garden up in the hills which looked like it belonged in a national geographic magazine it was so perfect... It's one of the things that I love most about China (especially Hangzhou), you can be surrounded by a million people day in day out and it can get quite dirty, but you can walk 15 minutes up the road to a tranquil paradise!

You can check out the pictures on the 'photos' link... if I can upload them, flickr seems to have a limit to the amount of photos I can post per month.

Tomorrow is predicted to be another B.E.A.UTIFUL day, so we're going to hopefully head out and check out the electronics market. rather excited! :)

Hope you are all safe and well and have an awesome weekend!
