I could try to describe my room, but it isn't much. I will not go into the kitchen which is a little scary, but fortunately it isn't necessary thanks to the abundant and inexpensive food around here. I am glad I remembered to bring some bedding along. I look out over a small park, which is nice. The humidity is really something, but I can't honestly say I am too uncomfortable. It is hot, but thanks to the warnings I received, it is nowhere near as hot as I was expecting. I think the rain helps to cool things down.

School is actually pretty fun (at least after one day). I am impressed with the teachers so far and I have 20 classmates all from different places. They are interesting and colorful and I am getting to know them a little bit better as we go.

We have an opportunity to eat for free at the school almost every meal, but we aren't allowed to speak Chinese there. Still, I enjoy getting to know the (English language) students and learn why they are taking the course, where they are from and get a sense of what they think of the foreigners who visit. I will probably eat breakfast and lunch there regularly and then go out for dinner after class.
