Almost a month in

Time does fly by when you have fun, we have almost been here a month already. We have seen a lot of the beauties China has to offer and learnt so much at our workplace. Last week we started with a new program called Maya. It's a 3D modelling program for making art in 3D. It was completely new to all of us but i have atleast learnt a lot already. Our boss gives us images of objects that we have to replicate in Maya. So far we have done a football, a clock, a chair and started on a sword and shield.

Shanghai last weekend was pretty crazy. We stayed in a hotel near the walking street which was beautiful but hectic. So many dodgy people coming up to you daily trying to sell fake watches, handbags, wallets or other things, you get use to ignoring them. We ate some great food there especially on the last day when we went to a really nice restaurant where our tutor had worked before. It wasn't too expensive but still really nice. The first night we went to a really nice view of the big buildings but it was raining so we also went there the next day. The first night we went to a club and partied like all the other westerners there. The next day we visited some malls and then a old area that had a lot of temple looking buildings with a lot of different stores and stands in the street.

Right now we have Monday and Tuesday off from work, it's some holiday. A lot of people in school went home to their families so the school is pretty empty which is nice. Hopefully we will learn a lot more about Maya this week because it is a really good program to know and I might want to work in animation in the future because of what I've and learnt here.
