Look at Places I have Ever Been i just went to chengdu. it was my second time to the city, but my first time outside of the city. i realize that i WOULD live in chengdu if only because i could visit the mountains surrounding the city. this time round i only made it 3 hours away to emeishan. but it was already heaven, if if that meant travelling another 2 hours uphill. i would one day hope to travel to songpan, and other lesser known cities west of chengdu, closer to the tibetian highlands. chengdu municipal government has done something great that i really hope cities by the coast can do. it has moved all the industrial areas far away from the city itself. this way, i could actually smell the difference in the quality of air in the city, compared to nanjing for example. |

Where to Study Chinese, Beijing or Shanghai? presently situated in nanjing, i have heard from people studying chinese here that the program at 南京师范大学 aka 南师大 is excellent. this school is not Nanjing University, or is it a Fudan, Jiaotong or Qinghua, but you can learn alot if you're really interested in learning the language. nanjing is not shanghai or beijing, it has its own unique qualities. some people will find this place exceptionally boring, mainly because there are limited places for foreigners who want to hang out in places they are comfortable in, eating food there are used to. just check out synotrip.com/nanjing or nanjingnow.com to see how few restaurants there are in relation to the gastronomia that shanghai is. things are certainly cheaper though... ; ) but there's loads to explore in this city - the local scene that is. plus, this city is really manageable. you'll feel you know the core of the city within a year of living here. and the nanjing people are great. but remember, come here only if you're ok with less of a foreigner-type life. a certain level of chinese is also recommended so you get to practice while here. |
