One week has passed and I certainly have to admit that I am in awe of the Chinese culture here in Hangzhou… From first settling into our dorm for the next 3 months, to checking out nearby delicacies around school (& yes that also includes the school canteen!), to traveling outside of school on DiDi (Grab equivalent here) and finally visiting picturesque scenic areas… This past week has been a true blessing.
There’s so much to see, experience and of course food to inhale and with that I’ll let the pictures do the work 🙂

Buddy Day!! It was a really a day to remember because ZJU students brought us around the area for a local cultural experience, ranging from a campus tour to a visit to the famous west lake in Hangzhou.
This past week has been a real goooood start to the DATE experience. Can’t wait for what’s in place for us over the next 13 weeks!
