jujubeans119 Posted February 19, 2007 at 02:24 PM Report Posted February 19, 2007 at 02:24 PM hello! would like to ask what are the possible routes to get to east china uni at 3663 zhongshan rd n. shanghai coming from pudong international airport other than a cab? a friend is suggesting i take the mrt then take a cab, but ill have 4 bags to deal with which could be a problem. what are the okay hotels near ecnu that i can stay in while waiting for the dorm to open after new years holidays? many many thanks Quote
Crivens200 Posted February 22, 2007 at 01:31 PM Report Posted February 22, 2007 at 01:31 PM I know you said you didn't want to get a taxi, but to get to that part of town from pudong will cost you less than 200rmb - less than GBP15 in real money - if you go by public transport it'll probably cost about 100rmb in total so it's a false economy in my book. If you are desparate to save the cost of a couple of beers there are buses that go to the main hotels - perhaps get the bus to tai ping yang sheraton in hong qiao and then taxi from there. Quote
jujubeans119 Posted February 24, 2007 at 08:13 AM Author Report Posted February 24, 2007 at 08:13 AM thanks! took your advice and just took a cab. finally getting myself settled here in ecnu. its gona be a long semester these past few days have been overwhelming as even with a background studying chinese in my home country i can barely understand what they're saying, it all seems so fast. wish me luck:wink: Quote
necroflux Posted February 24, 2007 at 09:37 AM Report Posted February 24, 2007 at 09:37 AM Good luck jujubeans, get ready for a challenging but fun ride! Quote
roddy Posted February 24, 2007 at 10:39 AM Report Posted February 24, 2007 at 10:39 AM Yeah, you'll find it a bit head-spinning at first as you come to terms with the speed people speak at, and the disappointing fact that nobody actually says things like the people in your text books. A week or two to get your bearings though, and you'll find what you already know isn't actually useless Quote
jujubeans119 Posted February 24, 2007 at 02:27 PM Author Report Posted February 24, 2007 at 02:27 PM thanks for the encouragement! just bought myself some notebooks and lots of post-its to get myself started at memorizing big time. it helps that my japanese roommate cant speak english (i do a lot of hand gestures to get my point across) and is taking her mandarin undergraduate studies here. more motivation to really learn.
