Wuhan trip continued
The next day while in Wuhan we visited a place called yellow crane tower. This was beautiful pagoda tower. It is a design of an ancient tower that was located on the site but over the past 2300 years has burned down and been ravaged. There are many famous artists who have been inspired by the tower and the views that it offers. It is truly a magnificant building. After we visited the yellow crane tower we went to see where my teacher worked and she showed me her office and university. She is very proud of her school because not only is she an english teacher there but her parents where also teachers there and her husband attended the school so she was very excited to shot it too me. It was beautiful campus not that much different than a school in the states. The only difference is they have way more dorms for the students because they are required to live on campus all four years. The last day I was in Wuhan was fun we visited another famous university there and i got a lot of great pictures it was a really neat old campus. Then after that I made my first trip to a Chinese Walmart. It was really cool place it was entirely underground and to my surprise was not as different from a walmart in the states as I thought. The main difference was the type of food they sold there they had huge tanks of live fish and live crabs on display it was really bizarre at first but ther clothes where the same. They had DVD's, electronics and everything you would find in one back home. I really thought that was comforting and good to know. That was my trip in a summation I could have expanded more but I do not have enough. Thanks for reading and I hope something fun happens to me this week so that I can have another post for you.
