if we have to elect a most boring time during our stay in Amrican, the answer is definitely the afternoon in the charlottesviile downtown.
the moment we got off the bus, we were all wondering what should we do next sleepy. informed the next 2 and half hours was arranged to hang around in the "downtown", we were like "oh my god, this cannot be serious!". the shock woke us thoroughly.
then, in the next 2.5 hours we wandered meaninglessly from one end of the street, which the stores were sited along, to the other end. once in a while, we steped in some good-looking stores or featued-theme stores only to find out that the price was also "good-looking". we have bring our lunch to in case lunch will not be served. the stores here are barely robbers, charging unbelievably for cheap things we have in China. shall we eating or shopping? the shopping and cuisines back in shanghai can be far more better than here!
originally, we were really looking forward to the trip to charlottesville, where the University of Virginia is located, the content of which at lease will benefit us in the aspect of broadening our view. we got up early and neglected the fatigue of days of lectures and excursions and found what we gained is not that worthwhile.
i am not sure whether i am at a low tide, a stage should be encountered during the culture adaption, start to criticize everything. no offensive to all the faculty and interns, who have made great efforts during the programme. it just the sense that the aganda can be schaduled more perfect become stronger and stronger these days.
we really appreciate what interns and the directors have done for us.
but at the writing board in the end of the street, we wrote "we miss Shanghai".

We will be back after a few days. Eventhough I really miss Shanghai so much, when I realize it will soon be the time to leave,some complex feeling just showed up. Kind of cintradictory……
