my hood

我想给你们看看复旦大学的地方。。。i want to show you guys around fudan university a little! 

above, the fudan towers. when i first saw them, i was so confused! looks like an office, not a school. but our chinese classes are in that small wing on the right. also, a big character sign encouraging students to work extra-super-hard, and some of the trees and hedges that make the campus so beautiful. 

the surrounding area has tons of inexpensive little shops, restaurants, and food stands like this one. breakfast? snacks? these baozi are 1.50 yuan or 20 cents, people usually grab a few on the way to school in the morning.

finally, that's the tonghe guoji gongyu 同和国际公寓，the international student apartments/my home! you can see a few more of the small stores in front of the apt and behind the fruit man. i love this area :) it's very collegiate... very chinese... couldn't ask for more!
