They took us to a room where we met our coordinator in China, Faye. And our middle school director, Maggie. Lewie is a teacher that has done this 5 years already and he gave us a little in-service. We also heard from a 28yr old-ish guy that's from Boston and has been teaching in China for 2 years - BYU grad :). He gave us some pointers on what would feel different to us. All very helpful!
Then we went to get our teaching materials luggage and got set up in our workrooms. We got our teaching assignments. But we'll meet the teachers and see our rooms tomorrow.
Had dinner at the school. When we got back home, we had a little outing to take the metro for the first time. It's easy only because the station names are written in English, if not, it would be impossible to read the Chinese symbols for me.
There are only 3 lines. So, that's not confusing. What's confusing, is that the stations are like malls!!! Super high end stores and food places and like the one station we went to had 14 different exits!!!
They showed us how to get to Walmart. I tried to buy a mango smoothie and ended up with mango tea instead :( so I gave it to my roommate.
Got home pretty tired!
