What’s That Sound?
Crickets. Lots of crickets.
The biggest difference between Nanjing and Nanchang?
Nature.
The closest we got to nature in Nanchang was a random bird who lived in our kitchen vent (which we thought would actually make into our kitchen one day) and the occasional roach that we slaughtered with a blunt object of choice.
Today, I actually stopped and stared at a slug moving its way up a tree. “Seriously?”, you may ask yourself. Yes, because there are more trees on my new campus then in all of Nanchang, and I’ve been nature starved. Here in Nanjing, we have beautiful birds colored with deep blue and green feathers, dogs that don’t have mange, all kinds of insects (ask me about this one in a few months), and lots, and lots, and lots of trees. There are so many that they almost trick my lungs into thinking China isn’t single-handedly destroying my lungs.
Special shout out to Andy C. who keeps my blogging dreams alive.
The slug I stared at.
One of our many tree lined streets on campus!
