November 8, 2006 - So with all my griping about Shida Mandarin Training Center, and since I'm posting these lomos more or less in sequence, I forget if I mentioned I applied for the language program at neighboring Taida University and got in. I started this week.
So far, the feel is much more comfortable for me. It's definitely not as crowded and chaotic. As for my class, I don't know. Nine months at Shida, and I still don't understand half of what the teacher is saying, although I'm not sure Shida is to blame for that. I'm not very good at languages.
This is the palm-lined main boulevard of the Taida campus. Really nice campus. Big campus.
