The picture to the right is me on the HuangPu river with part of Shanghai in the background. The last few days have been filled with more moving in and getting oriented ac
tion. We went with Teddy, our advisor and got bus passes, so we can look like locals and just swipe our way onto the bus. We also spent quite a bit of time down at the ChinaMobile store getting cell phones and cell phone plans. Teddy was absolutely necessary at this point, and they fill out just a few more forms here when getting a cell phone plan in comparison with the US. But I am now a proud customer of the #1 cell phone provider in the world. Other than that, I am enjoying freedom from the US copyright laws and purchased a few DVDs at a shop downtown, paying less for 4 or 5 DVDs than the cost to rent just one from blockbuster. The second picture is of a pagoda on a little pond, which is about a block from my apartment. I pass it every day walking into the center of campus.
