First Week of Classes
It’s Friday and we have now completed our first week of classes. Professor Zhuang Huaping did a great job presenting a survey of Chinese history. We will see her again next Friday when she will lecture on Chinese philosophy and religion. Thursday afternoon we were on our own to explore Hangzhou, so we took the city bus to the silk market and strolled through the many shops.
Today we were invited to visit the Medical College of Zhejiang University on the north side of town. There we meet with Professor Yang and staff who Bill had meet with last year. They shared with us the work they are doing on smoking and public health. Professor Wang described the Chinese health care system and answered our many questions. It was a very informative afternoon and ended with having our evening meal together.
Technical Note: I have a max limit warning in Wordpress announcing that I can not load additional pictures. I am also having difficulty with Bill’s Flicker account. After I check in with Sam ( my IT guy) I’ll see if I can get pictures up later.
