Fudan University

We did a little exploring and interviewing today at Fudan University, in the heart of Shanghai. What a beautiful place, like a retreat in the middle of the city. It was so peaceful, and I was able to speak with two students, one who played intermural basketball and volleyball. Jack, the volleyball player, was very nice and hopes to make it to Beijing for the Olympics. He wants to see the swimming events at the Water Cube. So do I! After the interviews, we took some pictures and went to lunch with Aisha, our translator for the day. She was so gracious and helpful, and is thinking of coming to the States for journalism. After another delicious lunch, we went to a track meet. I got some pretty good natural sound of the long jump event, bullhorn and all. Later tonight we’re walking around the Bund, seeing the new and old buildings in China. Hopefully we’ll get some good pictures and see some great stuff. More to come later…
