Made it. Sorry I did not post sooner but my dormitory has no internet. They will move me to a new apartment in one or two weeks after it is finished being decorated. They told me I would have a fast internet connection, DVD player, and big screen TV all free (courtesy of the Chinese government). So far everything is good. I have already made a couple of friends. For some reason one of them is intent on finding me a girlfriend. Not sure why, but he is a nice guy.
And yes, people stare at me when I go outside, but that was expected. Nanjing has 6 million people in it and only a few thousand foreigners at most. Sometimes I pass other "wai guo ren" (foreigners) on the streets.
