Yesterday was our last day in Jinan and it was a whirlwind. I spent most of the morning trying to configure several of our movies onto one projector but I finally had to ask Ying for help because I was at a loss. We still had a little trouble but she figured it out on FCP and it turned out well. We got the projector going just in time to meet the school president who is a very traditional looking chinese man. He gave us a couple gifts and then we headed to the exhibition with our partners. My movie drew a good crowd although I'm not sure if everyone knew what it was really about. Many people said it was really funny which is good I think. We had a little ceremony where the school gave us certificates for our participation in the program and everything was very nice but we left all too soon. I found it surreal to know that we might never see any of these new friends ever again but in only a few minutes we had to say goodbye. We had an amazing dinner with a few of the faculty and headed off to the night train at 9pm. We arrived in Shanghai at 6 this morning and settled into the hotel. It's really nice here and I can't wait to use the pool. I didn't have my camera with me for the exhibition so I'll have to find some pictures from other people. Goodbye Jinan. Goodbye Mansion.
