Day 10 was another busy day. After arriving to Nanjing, on the overnight train from Xi’an that took about 14.5 hours, we checked into our hotel. We stayed at the Grand Metro Hotel on the campus of NanShiDa (Nanjing Normal University). Once we settled in and got breakfast we took off to Ming's Tomb and the Zhongshan Mausoleum for the rest of the day.
That evening we were able to meet up with some of our GPC study abroad students in the lobby of the hotel. We discussed their experiences in China, their majors and their futures. They were accompanied by Ming Her, a GPC study abroad faculty member. Afterwards a few of us went to a cafe to talk further with Ming and one of the students.
Pictured above are three GPC study abroad students. From left to right you have; Brian Reynolds, Elijah Luttrell and Danyis Toranzo. Brian is currently studying at Nanjing University, while Elijah and Danyis a currently studying at Nanjing Normal University.
