Uni fun

Part of my job as a teacher is to invigilate and then of course correct and mark papers. Whilst the two latter ones can be painful, the first can be quite fun. I love to take photos of the students whilst sweating over exam papers and before a speaking exam when they're shaking and totally nervous. 

On my first day at SISU I had to invigilate a few exams and then of course mark the papers. At the end of the programme I had to do the same once again.

What you can't see in the photos is, that the students were really sweating over the papers. Not because they were extremely difficult, but due to the enormous heat of 40 degrees Celsius, the humidity and the lack of working A/Cs and ceiling fans. 

Here are some photos from various exams.

Hongkou park

I mentioned in my previous posts, that I spent part of the summer in Shanghai working for Hull University. Here are some photos of the hotel room, the campus and the surrounding area.

This is the view from the 16th floor.

 The view to the left, with the high towers of the Bund in the background. The buildings in front towards the left hand side belong to SISU university. They are part of the campus.

 The gym, directly opposite. It houses a pool, too.

 The view to the right. Over the bridge you can see in the bottom left runs one of the metro lines.

 That's the sports field behind the gym. It is quite busy early in the morning and in the evening, when it's either cool and not sunny. People of all ages gather there to either run around the track, play various sports, do yoga or Tai Chi or simply walk a few laps.

This is again the view to the left.

Wardrobe on the left, bathroom on the right.

The living room

The closest park. Opens at 5am and closes at 7pm.

People walking or running around the paths.

People gather to do yoga, Tai Chi, square dancing and whatever activities you can imagine.

Yoga.

Some people have to work, whilst other do their early morning exercise.
