Afterwards I took the Metro to Jiao Tong station and right outside the door of the carriage I was standing was a guy from my other class - small world huh! Especially since his class finished an hour before mine was about to begin and that of all places to stand was right at the carriage door I was at (I saw the bag from outside the window and thought I recognised it!).
It was a bit unnerving being the new student of the class as everyone had pretty much spent the week getting to know each other. However, I'm glad I moved to this class as it is so intense in learning Chinese characters I'm very motivated to do a lot more studying in my own time. There is also a lot of homework with this teacher so I can't really go out as much anymore.
In the evening I went out with my flatmate, Anna, to a nearby restaurant. We had Chinese food, some chicken, cold cuts of beef and spicy beef with vegetables. For 2 of us it came to 96RMB which is pretty cheap for 3 dishes and 2 bowls of rice! Especially considering it was half a chicken.....
Now I'm back in my room and watching Kung Fu Panda in Mandarin and without subtitles to try and force myself to listen rather than to read (yes I like a challenge!).
