I took this photo from the fourth floor of a building on the main campus of C.I.T, the floor where the Foreign Affairs Offices (FAO) are located. in the distant background are the two towers of Changzhou City Hall. On the middle left-hand side is the gymnasium for C.I.T. On the middle right-hand side is the building where most classes are held for students taking English courses. This is also the building where we have our “meetings” when they are deemed necessary. Of the seven FTs teaching at C.I.T., five teach at the main campus.
Just a note, Maureen and I don’t teach in this building as we only teach on the XinBei campus.
Maureen and I have finished today’s classes – yes, we both taught at the same time though in different buildings on the Xin Bei campus. Behind Maureen is the campus library. Since our campus has less than half of the students at the main campus, we don’t have a gymnasium though we do have a decent track and outdoor sport venues.
The Xin Bei Campus is the newer of the two campuses, and has the best atmosphere. Sadly, both campuses will disappear in a few years. The idea is to relocate to the outskirts of the city where land prices are cheaper. Because of the prime location, the university can’t afford to keep the campuses in their present location. Money talks.
The sky line looks very relaxing. I did not see many like this one here over looking the gym towards the government building when I was at C.I.T. I can spesificly remember the air quality getting better soon after the Olimpics and I hope that trend will continue. I also remember Maureen and I going to the kindergarten one time and comenting on how thick the air was that day. Tha good ole days.
Most days the air is thick. We did have a couple of days where “blue” was definitely the colour of the sky. I will be posting some of them over time. Thanks for connecting 🙂
