Nuuuuuuuuu!So I wakes up today after a horrifying dream that someone tried to burn Alistair (of Dragon Age fame) to death :o It was an alarming dream, even more alarming because a video game character was suddenly very much in the possession of burnable flesh *sobs*
ANYWAY! I've finally illicited a response from the university in Qingdao, Mr Chang finally gave me an address for the Fushan campus we need to register at. I'm also on the verge of getting the amount of fees we'll actually have to pay them *woo-hoo* It's such a culture shock, UK universities eternally send you email updates about what you need to provide, what'll happen when you arrive, hell, some of the more helpful ones even give you advice on how to get there. Not China. We literally got an acceptance letter saying: Providing you obey the laws and regulations fo the People's Republic of China we will welcome you to study at Qingdao *head-desk* I'm more concerned about what the hell the process is than their bloody laws and health-forms. Half the diseases they demanded we get tested for are more prevalent in China than anywhere else! I suppose they don't want other carriers entering the country, but it's insulting that somewhere that refuses to treat sick people if they can't provide insurance details sees reason to demand an NHS-citizen get a health check. Cos god knows what we could be carrying in our filthy capitalist bodies.
(I like China, really, but they're ridiculous. They seem to believe all diseases are spread, but not suffered, by westerners >_ |
