Meeting Ying Fantian In China

I had met Ying Fantian a few times by the time I got to China but at no point had we spoken at great length. This is because he can not formally speak English though his is seemingly quite capable of communicating with it. He drove to my dorm in his Jeep Cherokee and Jiang Hao came to get me from my room. We drove around for a while looking for a restaurant and eventually went to a small place that served nice stuff. During our drive we had had a look at another restaurant and, when parking to go in, Ying Fantian decided that the parking garage was inconvenient so we just jumped the curb and parked on the foot path in front of a police person.

During diner we talked about the work that I would do and decided that I should be involved in a few parts of their program starting with a lab of some sort. We decided that for the time being it was impractical for me to go into normal classes because they would all be in Chinese. We also decided that I should be involved with other aspects of their industrial design course and do things like workshops and competitions.
