At first the taxi driver did not know where the International College was. This caused only minor problems as he asked a student inside the campus and soon found the right place to go. When we arrived, I walked down a slope with my luggage and entered the building I would live in for the next year.
So far, so good.
I then had find out if there were any rooms. Not speaking any Chinese proved to make this more difficult but I managed (by way of an administrator who had given me his mobile phone number) to get a temporary room for the next few days until things were sorted out.
After putting my stuff down I remembered that humans are meant to eat and looked for some food. By this time it was about 10 pm so the restaurants nearby were already closed. There was a shop nearby but for some reason I did not go there and found an internet connection location instead. Using this I emailed my family saying I had arrived and gave them my room's phone number so they could call me. They did so a few hours later and my life in China started.
