surely enough there was a huge group of freshman students (i asked one in my broken chinese and understood something about "freshman... class... work" haha) literally "breaking the ice" with shovels in 20 something degree weather.
i later reported back excitedly about this new finding to my team and apparently it's nothing new! every year during the winter each freshman class is in charge of a certain area on the road to shovel and chip the ice so it won't pile up TOO much. i thought that's what machines for are for.. but why use machines when you can use students! hehe i think this is another reason why i would never succeed as a REAL chinese college student. bless their hearts!
and a wonderful video of the chorus of shovels.. haha... enjoy!
