My First Interaction with ZJU Students

Though I met someone and had started eating I was still worried that my involvement with the actual school might be flawed. I spoke no Chinese and I had no contacts in the design faculty at ZJU at that point. I was still thinking about moving to Foshan (where Fan Ginsong worked). Contacting Australia was futile as there were numerous problems with email and phones at that point. Eventually my father contacted Simon Curlis directly, who asked some of the people in one of the labs at ZJU to contact me. They did later that afternoon and took me to see a lab (later to be known to me as Lab 318) which at that point was in a state of change. I looked at the work of a few of the lab members in particular Dr. Yao and Jiang Hao. They both work with Maya and Jiang and I discussed this at length. Later he and I went do dinner back at the Liu She Shan Shetang. Life was good.

That afternoon I was informed I would meet Ying Fantian the coming weekend and we could discuss my work for the year.
