Not much happened today. Slept in a little before waking up and packing. Had a light breakfast and then we said our good byes to the girls who ran the hostel and took a group photo. Then we were off to the train station. We had to take a cab to get there which was an experience in and of itself. Our cab driver, though last to leave where we were all picked up, beat everyone else there by about 10-15mins.
The train ride was uneventful as well, but I had never been on a train that moved that fast before. It was a great experience and I wish the states had passenger trains like this one.
We got to Jinan around 6pm where we were greeted by people from the college. We then boarded the bus and went to have the biggest dinner of my life time.
They served probably around 15 individual dishes to each of us at this absolutely massive table. It looked like a sea of porcelain and food. There was around 5-8 toasts that happened that night welcoming us to the university. It was very nice being brought into a community with such open arms.
After attempting to eat 5 times the amount my stomach can hold we got to go to bed, but had to wake up at 6am to get in a shower. We rarely get more then 5-7 hours of sleep.
