Nanjing is somewhat warm

Academic and municipal orientations began today, with placement exams in the morning (I'm hoping for the middle, not-too-hard but not-too-dumb class). Rhetorical nuggets from orientation include "Every time I lock my bike, I say good-bye to it in my head," and "If you are a little drunk, kind of argue or fight is easy to happen."

Below are pictures of the Nanjing University gate, a couple of the university's old (as is, so old we're-not-sure-how-old) buildings, and one of the nicer street-shop thoroughfares. Note the haze in almost all the pictures--unfortunately not fog, though.

As far as posting time listed by Google, I believe it is still CST. So the time at which I'm actually posting these updates is really 13 hours into the future.
