Some pictures :)

I know some of you have eagerly been awaiting pictures. Here are a few from the day trip Nathan and I took to the East Lake in Wuhan. It isn't far from campus...about a twenty to thirty minute walk to get to the outskirts. But the lake itself is huge and so it took us about four or five hours just to get around one of the edges. Good thing we've got plenty of time left to explore!

This is a lotus garden we found near the lake.

 Here is the view from my apartment that I wrote about in my first blog.

 The courtyard just below.

 The computer room

The living room

 The kitchen--had to move the fridge in from the living room so it is kind of awkwardly placed, but definitely better than having to go to the living room when cooking.

 The bathroom. Note the lack of shower curtain or bath.

 Bedroom

 Balcony with plant and washing machine.

 Outside the apartment building.

 Courtyard outside the apartment.

 The wishing tree in culture street, an area on campus with restaurants and shops.

A pear and plum tree orchard on campus, planted to represent the students, the pears and plums that the teachers nourish throughout the year.
