Welcome to Yale

Imagine two Yale students rushing for class!

Just for the fun of it, look at the rankings...Well, NUS was not bad too!

On the serious side, my father was right…that as a student (学者), one should take a look at schools like this if given a chance, walked the path many great scholars took and appreciate the school as a place that had nurtured many great people. Afterall, such opportunity doesn’t come easily with a guided vacation tour. I didn’t realized how nice a university can be until I visited Brown in Rhode Island, I will insist a trip to Harvard University in Boston with Jenny, this time, I want to meet up with Sir Harvard.  

The hotel we stayed in was very nice too, to think that this was only the second time I stayed in a hotel for my exchange…I am more than glad, I need to erase the memory of my previous stay in the youth hostel~ Mr Creepy and dirty bathroom..OMG. This hotel is almost a luxury, I had a wonderful bubble bath~ Need to pamper myself from time to time. =D

While there were lotsa of good memories, there were bad experiences too. We all concluded that the hotel receptionist was big racist against Asians, bad services for us. Her attitudes serving the black family in front of our line was oh-so different. I didn’t felt much because I wasn’t sensitive when comes to such things, but after Jien pointed it out, I realized how obvious it was… =(

Met another creepy man in the bus station on our way back to UCONN in Hartford. We were kindda stunned by his ranting about women and what they should do..long stories..I was freak out. A million of thanks to the bus captain who let us board the coach before the actual boarding bus, if not we would continue to be harassed by the stupid drunkard. I NEED pepper spray. I am seriously going to buy one.

I am doing well, miss home though. It is difficult to be away for too long. Louisa, if you were reading this, I listened to the song u send me and I thought described me very well.

Thank you very much, 我听到了你的思念.
