So just a quick update, things are getting busier and busier by the day. Only 12 days left in Rebgong! I went to Northwest Nationalities University in Lanzhou, Gansu and successfully procured a student residence card which lasts for 9 months, all for a measly $50 US. Whether or not I’ll go there as a student (or even possibly as a English teacher) is still up in the air, although I like the campus with its high stone buildings with traditional Chinese roofs. It almost felt like Columbia as it’s also in close proximity to downtown Lanzhou. So for now, visa troubles solved.
