I'M BACK FROM CHINA!!

Aug 8, 2009 by HeyItsDerek
imageHey guys, for those who care, I got back safe and sound from Shanghai, China last week lol.

Finally done unpacking and I have to say, China was a blast! I'm back in New Jersey and I have to say, I'm missing living in the exciting city of Shanghai a lot!

I have to say going to Shanghai for a month of the Study Abroad program was one of the best experiences of my life. Being able to live in a completely different environment, learning the language, and meeting people from all over the world was very enriching. I became friends with people from France, Turkey, Japan, Spain, Germany, Russia, South Korea, Belgium, Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa.. everywhere!

Not to mention being able to go out and not having a curfew haha. It gave me a sense of how college would feel like.

Probably the most enjoyable part was going out at night and going Clubbin'. The good part about Shanghai is that their drinking age is much lower. I can't believe you have to be 21 to drink in the United States! One of the clubs we went to was called Bar Rouge and it was a rooftop club right next to a river. And right across the river was the Shanghai skyline! The clubs were so fun and back in New Jersey where I live right next to a farm, theres pretty much nothing to do..

==============================================================
But at least I have Tengaged haha. So anyone care to UPDATE me on what happened over the past month?? Any drastic changes to the game?

==============================================================
And the picture I'm uploading is some of the friends I made during my trip. We were outside at the club Bar Rouge.  I'm the asian guy in the white shirt.

Isn't the drinking age like 16 over there?
Sent by DavidVegemite,Aug 8, 2009
no it's 18. and the Clubs don't even check for ID so we had one 17 year old with us who got into the Clubs with us just fine. the rest of us were 18+

Yeah it costs quite a lot. I think our program, it costs $1,100 to study there for a month. And all they did was include a room to live in (which was pretty nice cuz u got ur own bathroom and tv) and a 3 hour class 6 days a week.

like everything else we had to take care of ourselves for so it would be a little bit more expensive.

And i studied Mandarin in Shanghai, China.

and i'm going to college this fall too jermin! You should definitely study abroad, it's one of the best experiences i've ever had
