We reached Cornell at about 3 in the afternoon (Mon, 14th Aug). Qi Ming met up with his friend, Yi Zheng, and I met up with Yong Sheng and Benjamin. We went for lunner (lunch+dinner), and after that the Cornellians brought us to the famous Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca. Sadly, the discharge was very small at that time (compared to the normal flow), hence the waterfall was not as impressive as it's supposed to be. We had a nice little hike up the hill, and it was good to be close to nature again after the Camp Davis experience in Wyoming.
The next day, we had a tour around the campus. Cornell University has a very nice campus, probably the best I have seen so far. Yong Sheng, Yi Zheng and Benjamin did a good job bringing us around, and that made me wondered how much I knew about my own university (not much, unfortunately). That afternoon, I got the chance to play badminton with Yong Sheng and Benjamin (and it was fun).
We headed back to Michigan on Wednesday (8 hours of driving). Can't really concentrate on writing blog now, with the tvb series Last Breakthrough playing in background (Renjie is watching it, and it seems that will be the only thing he does for the next few days :P )
