FUZHOU Here I am!!!!
Hey my friends!!!! I have safely reached Fuzhou, China yesterday night. The distance from the airport to the hotel we are staying was roughly the same distance from KLIA to Kl. Right now all the participants are staying at Qinghe building, Fujian West Lake Hotel. Haven't been out exploring yet but hope to be able to do so tonight.
There are 34 participants from 14 countries. Now I am trying hard to learn their names ... it should be fine after the next day. There are people from Nepal, Iraq, Ghana, Zambia, Vietnam, etc.
Rite now I am in one of the computer labs at Fujian Agricultural and Forestry University (FAFU) where the course is conducted. oh ya ... I did not let some of y'all know why am I in China. The Chinese gov is sponsoring people from developing countries to come together and learn a new tech to grow mushrooms, named JUNCAO Technology. It is a way of growing mushrooms from grasses. From what I have briefly glanced at the materials they have given us, I am so glad my boss decided to send me here. This is a very good training ground for a beginner like me. There will be lectures in the morning and practicals in the noon.
By the way, FAFU is like a uni within a city or should I say there is a small city in the uni? haha .... frankly I want to take pictures of this uni but I dun know where to start. Oh well .... I will be here for a month and a half, so there'll be plenty of time to take pictures.
At first I thought I would have a difficult time here but I have been having fun!!!! Mainly I have been translating english to mandarin and vice versa to my best ability. My colleague from home is Chinese from Sabah but he can speak Malay fluently and bits of English. Luckily I can speak and listen well enough. So Thanks To All My Friends in Perth for the training grounds! Oh yea ... my lecturer can't speak English well so his daughter is the translater.
Ok ... till tmr, every noon we have time to surf the net for free. Gotta go now to buy calling cards ... mobile cards for me.... will send some of you my new number soon. So sms me la boleh ..... Muaks!
