Juniata’s Vice President for Recruitment, Rob Yelnosky, and two people from recruitment, Ran and Yanping, were all in China to recruit some Chinese students and to do alumni events. Since they happened to be passing through Shanghai last Saturday, they decided to stop by, tour the East China Normal, and take the two Juniata students including myself out for dinner. ECNU has a very easy campus to show off, the ECNU staff will usually introduce the University by saying it is “national project 211 and 985 university and also a garden university;” basically ECNU has good academics and looks pretty. After checking out the Physics Building, the main canteen, the Mao Statue, and the sports field we all went to dinner at Global Harbor. Unfortunately, the first restaurant we tried to get into had a minimum one hour wait, so we went to the Hong Kongese place in the basement that I know is good (I believe pictures form the second restaurant was the first or second post I made form Global Harbor). I am pleased to report that the second restaurant has stayed good. We got a variety of dishes, including a brisket curry dish I tried in Hong Kong with my Mom that was quite interesting. After dinner, we all waked back to campus and took a photo with ECNU’s main gate; Rob, Ran, and Yanping went back to their hotel to prepare for an early flight back to the US on Sunday while my friend and I returned to our dorms. Even several thousand miles away from Juniata College, it is nice to know I am not completely on my own.

Great thing about a small school like Juniata. Very cool to be on first name basis with a dean
