These photos were taken when we first went to visit the two campuses. Maria had arranged to sit in on some of the classes at both schools, and we wanted to be sure we knew where she had to go. It was also on the way to ZhongGuanCun where we tried and failed to purchase our electronics (see previous post). I’m posting on her behalf, because she uploaded the photos to her computer, and they never got to mine. It’s an interesting issue we’re having because we have different cameras and respective camera habits; hers go in her laptop, mine in mine. It kinda means our photos get segregated, which is not necessarily a good thing, and leads to such situations where I’m stuck grabbing these photos off of where she’s already uploaded them, only to re-upload them again. I’ve also ported over her captions. Speaking of which…how’s it look with them…? This is the first time I’m using them.
Either way, here we go:
-
- Tsinghua University Main Gate.
-
- I’m assuming this says Tsinghua University. I looked for a sign in pinyin to pose with, but no luck. Oh well. My hair looked like crap anyway.
-
- How many ways can one understand this name? Looks pretty established for something that doesn’t exist yet ;)
-
- I love campuses.
-
- The way to the School of Economics and Management.
-
- Seal. (ar! ar!)
-
- We thought these looked kind of like menorahs. I saw the design mimicked off-campus too. Further investigation is called for.
-
- Architecture school.
-
- SEM, obstructed view.
-
- Hard to read signs with all this blasted foliage.
-
- Aha! Up close and personal yields the goods. Yup, we’re here.
-
- Inside SEM.
-
- Inside SEM.
-
- Inside SEM.
-
- SEM courtyard.
-
- SEM courtyard.
-
- The law school!
-
- Architecture of Tsinghua Law School looks like it’s imitating (maybe Harvard) l-skool, except for the tile. Tile??
-
- TusPark. Love it.
-
- Someone’s got a lot of balls.
-
- Reminds me of the Citibank stairs in downtown LA. No waterfall, tho.
-
- New subway stops, line 4!
-
- Approaching Beida (Beijing University, or, deconstructionistically speaking, North Capital Big School).
-
- Later in the day and not as pretty as Tsinghua.
-
- Guanghua School of Management turns out not to house the BiMBA (International MBA) Program. We have no clue where it is. (It’s at CCER: the China Center for Economic Research, at the north end of campus. Thought they’d keep the MBA students together, but thought wrong. Will return to this point later.)
-
- The only technology I saw at Guanghua.
-
- More Beida.
-
- More Beida.
-
- At the end of the day, we deserve tasty Indian food. Not half bad.
