So many things to do!

It’s nice having the Friday off. In the morning I cleaned the house (more or less, except for the bathroom) and in the afternoon I had to do some stuff for living here. From today we can get our new student card, and we can top it up (I have no more money in my temporary card, it’s two days I don’t have a real meal). So, I went in the office in the main building, and after waiting a while, I got my new card. Ugly picture on it, as usual! Then I need to go to the bank to connect my account to my student card, but, of course, I forgot my passport in the apartment. So, I run back to my room (run because it was 16.30 and the bank closed at 17.00, but it is Friday so till Monday I couldn’t top my card up), I got my passport and came back to the bank. I have the china construction bank, and they are very nice, both here in the school and in 新店, the small village near the school. They speak English, more or less, and I could connect the cart without any problem. I could also deposit 3000 RMB on my account (I always withdraw in an ICBC ATM because there I can withdraw 3000 RMB, while in other banks I can’t). Now, the difficult part: top my card up in one of those machines around the campus. where is the problem? It’s all in Chinese, of course. So, like a lion waiting for his prey, I waited behind one of these machines and looked what Chinese people did. Just choosing the first one on top, then the last one on the right, writing how much money you want to transfer and writing your password (123456, the default one), and that’s all folks! Yep! So happy! This night real dinner. Now, I still have a lot of things to do, but tomorrow I will buy my bike, and the most of them are done. Today I walked a lot, at least an hour and a half. My legs start hurting.
