Southeast+and+Nanjing+Normal

= Visiting Southeast University and Nanjing Normal University  =

Today we spent our time at Southeast and Nanjing Normal Universities. Our welcomes were very warm and the Southeast President was delightful. And we received a lovely scarf!





At lunch I made a good friend of Jady and we decided to meet again for shopping that night. I found a lovely red lacquer disc on a black string necklace.

New foods for lunch - green bean juice.

After lunch we education folk were whisked off to Nanjing Normal for presentations to student and faculty groups. each presentation was an hour and we presented in English w no translation.





Next was a formal welcome from the Vice President of Nanjing Normal and exchange of gifts. We received brocade ties (aha! A gift for John!). And then we received a second gift from the College of Education (Chinese opera mask plaque).

Dinner was a blast - new foods included ostrich, pork shank bones (complete with plastic glove for handling), and some interesting squid and jellyfish dishes. Also some toasted red beans that were pretty good
