2.Registration day
Hot 3 |
I got up early in the next day and went to the bus stop. I had never seen so many buses in a single bus stop,even in the busiest bus stop in Nanjing. That is Beijing! We got on a bus and arrived in my university soon.
That is my university, the place I was gonna spent my at least 3 years in because in the first year I would stay in another campus in the suburb. I saw the Mao's large statue in the central of the campus square waving his hands to us. It is interesting and give people the solemn feeling that you are in the capital of the People's Republic of China. During the next few years, I had been to many other universities in Beijing, many of which have their own Mao's statue with distinct positions but all in a tenacious and respectful manner.
The campus was on the rock at that day with so many new-comings with a happy face. I was one of them and I was happy too. Lots of people mean lots of queues. So I was running between the queues with different papers and stamps. I glanced over the people around when in the queue and found that the sex ratio is almost just as the same as heard 2:1, two boys versus one girl. It indicates that there is at least a half of my bros have to be single or find a girl outside our university as I thought to myself. Tough competition! At that time I believed a relationship at college time is a must but now I know that it is totally wrong. Too young too simple~
When I went through all the process with a tired body, it was almost 3 o'clock. My parents decide to visit the Olympic Park. So we went to the street to call a taxi. In another side of the street lies another famous university with the exactly opposite sex ratio to ours. I knew it and thought that maybe I can find a beautiful girl from there. Totally wrong again!
It is not far from my university to the Olympic Park. It is really amazing when the buildings you have already seen multiple times from the TV, appear right in front of your eyes. The national stadium and the water cube both are gorgeous. We took a lot of pictures there and they are all great memories.
In the evening, we went to the Quanjude at Wudaokou to enjoy the traditional Beijing Ducks. It was the first time I ate them and they were very unique and delicious. The ducks are just like the propaganda scripts described, fat but not greasy! But you will not enjoy that much during the following times when you get familiar with the taste. One small tip: Do not go to the Quanjude restaurant at Qianmen, it will blow all your money!

- University life means you have arrived at the crossroads of life. At university, you would probably chose the direction of your future and personal life. You would taste what it is like to live away from home and how to handle friends and roommates. You would also have to handle stressful studies and challenges. After graduation, you would be holding your diploma and go on to the tough road of your career. Work life is the most complicated and challenging part of your life and your quality of life and status would depend on the job you have. Wish you the best, my friend.
Quite a lot of romances and marriages originate from university acquaintances. Should you fail to find your other half in the university, you still have a second chance to find one at your future workplace, but that choice would not be as simple or as innocent as choosing at university.
Hope you would have a smooth and happy time at Beijing.

- I think the roast duck of Guang Dong province is much more delicious than Beijing baked duck. My experience of eating Beijing baked duck disappointed me.

- It is really nice to see your reply. You analysis is very detailed and to the point. I can't agree you more when you address the university life. That is just like you described.

Campus love is truly innocent and I think maybe I will find my other half during my graduate study.
Thank you for sharing your opinion and I will bear them in mind.

- Yeah you are right. I stayed at Baiyun and often go to eat roast duck and barbecued pork at Xinshi shopping area in Guangzhou. They roast it just right with juicy meat and tasty. The Beijing duck is famous but they only concentrate on the sliced duck skin. Nothing special about Beijing duck.

- The Peking duck failed to match up to my expectation,too. And I agree with ocean0721 and Sunnyvale that the roast duck in Guangzhou is really good!
Anyway, Beijing is a wonderful place to visit.
