it was my first experiance with campus life. it is quite convenient to live on campus because it was cheap and you have all facilities you need for living there. eg. laundry, restaurants,... the size of rooms are quite ok and some of them have even sea view. in the room there is a big locker, a cupboard, a desk, shelves, a bed which is too small (190x70cm) and a chair. rooms have air condition and a van. the only disadvantage is that you have to share the bathroom and toilet with the whole floor.

I had no difficulties to understand the professors. Their English was perfect as they came from America, Ireland and Hong Kong. Communication in every day life was also no problem as all people in HK speak English very well.

Places not to be missed outside of Kunming. Defenitely go to Li Jiang (small chinese village preserved by UNESCO) this is china as you've dreamed to see it. You can stop in Dali which is on the way from Kunming to Li Jiang to see cormoran fishing on the lake, it's worth it. If you have more time, take the round trip ride on the little train that goes from Kunming to "Hekou" (on the boarder with Vietnam). It was built buy french people in the 40's. The ride through mountains with water falls and terrasse fields is very scenic, so is the train.
