Chapter Fifty-Four: The Lost Wallet (~jinghan)
Jinghan gets on the bus, it’s hot and she is looking forward to stepping into the cool air inside the apartment and having some grapes and a cold glass of milk. Just as she is walking into the apartment complex a guy turns to her and says “you got off at the previous stop yeah?” […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/21/chapter-fifty-four-the-lost-wallet-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Three: My New Apartment (~jinghan)
I was pretty excited about seeing my new apartment that I’ll be living in for the next 9/10 months. Having never lived away from home I was determined to enjoy the freedom and develop the new skills that come with this new responsibility. I got the key on Thursday but it wasn’t really until Friday that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/21/chapter-fifty-three-my-new-apartment-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Two: Farmer’s Market (ee-ai-ee-ai-oh!)
So today I went to the farmer’s market which is held twice a week in central park. And if you want good fresh produce you want to come to Davis. Melbourne isn’t really that busy and stressful a city, but it is a city none the less. And I’m sort of enjoying the rural-like quiet […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/20/chapter-fifty-two-farmers-market-ee-ai-ee-ai-oh

Chapter Fifty-One: The Food Co-op (~jinghan)
I don’t really know what a food co-op was formally… wait… “A food cooperative or food co-op is a grocery store organized as a cooperative. Food cooperatives are usually consumers’ cooperatives and are owned by their members. Food cooperatives follow the 7 Cooperative Principles and typically offer natural foods. Since decisions about how to run a cooperative are not made by outside shareholders, cooperatives often exhibit a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/20/chapter-fifty-one-the-food-co-op-jinghan

Chapter Fifty: Fro Yo (~jinghan)
And so I went out for frozen yogurt. It’s not what we consider frozen yogurt in Australia, it was sort of like soft serve sorbet. (Wait… isn’t yoghurt supposed to be dairy?) I don’t think it was that amazing, but!!!! the stuff you could put on it: Eg, chocolate covered anything, yogurt covered pretzels (pictured bottom middle […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/15/chapter-fifty-fro-yo-jinghan

Chapter Fourty-Nine: The Corn Dog (~jinghan)
This is a corn dog: It is actually a skinless Frankfurt sausage on a stick wrapped in thick sticky corn batter and deep fried: Not meaning to be disrespectful to Americans or anything (because they are actually really really nice people) but I could only eat about two thirds of it before the overly-processed-and-very-oily-ness of it got […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/15/chapter-fourty-nine-the-corn-dog-jinghan

Chapter Fourty-Eight: Frolicking in Davis Central Park (~jinghan)
Davis has quite a nice central park which I had time to look around and take photos while I was waiting to meet international students for “Fro Yo” (more on that soon!) The carousel – more for looking at and the sake of historical heritage than riding on. Weird swings that are really comfy to sit […] -
Chapter Fourty-Seven: Chugga chugga chugga, big red bus ♫ (~jinghan)

Chapter Fourty-Six: Welcome to UC Davis (~jinghan)
*drum roll* Welcome to UC Davis: Joking joking. (Though admittedly the construction site was actually my first impression of the campus xD) But what do first impressions matter? Lets put that aside. Welcome to UC Davis: Where there are more bike racks than parking spots: Chickens roaming the gardens: (It’s the black thing next to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/13/chapter-fourty-six-welcome-to-uc-davis-jinghan

Chapter Fourty-Five: My American Shopping Spree (~jinghan)
Okay so far I’ve been in Davis only three days (it feels like a week) and I’ve bought: Shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste – do not under estimate the importance of this purchase, not only do I have clean hair now, but somehow after buying these things I suddenly knew where all the shops were in Davis […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/09/13/chapter-fourty-five-my-american-shopping-spree-jinghan
