i'll just give a short summary of what we did in China.:PpPp ♥
i enjoyed the flights to and fro!cos it was only my second time taking the plane, excluding the flying club ones.xPpPp watched movies and listened to music!:D :D ♥
for the first week, we had lessons with Jinyuan High School. their school is huge!their lessons were cheem. all in chinese. their english lessons were sort of ineffective. cos the teacher uses chinese to explain to them.=/ i like the convenience store!:D :D ♥
my buddy was Qian Chun Jie.(: quiet girl, but she's nice.(: (: ♥ made other China friends like Sunying, Doggy, Ya Sen, Xiao Chen, and the one who has the same birthday as me but i forgot her name!=x they are all very nice people...especially Sunying! she gave me loads of presents! rahh i miss her!): ): ♥
had cultural lectures also!eh...is that what you call it.oh no i think my english has deproved by alot. rahh cannot cannot!anyway, we learnt how to carve chops, paint opera masks and calligraphy painting!(: (: ♥
that was how we spent the first week. after that, we travelled around Shanghai! went to Wu Zhen, Oriental Pearl Tower, Shu Cheng (Book City!), Lu Xun's museum, Song Qing Ling's house, and many other places which i've forgotten the names.and not to forget the boat ride along Huang Pu River! shopped ALOT!:D :D ♥ the things there are super cheap~! bought cds, magazines, clothes, a japanese looking cap, souvenirs, and traditional snacks!:D :D ♥ I LOVE JAY CHOU!:D :D ♥ spent about 1300 RMB! 100+ RMB were spent on SIM cards.=/ =/ had some scary experiences though...lesson learnt: if you dont want to buy anything from a shop in Shanghai, just act dao and walk off! if not they'll chase after you and force you to buy.): ) on the brighter side, we can bargain alot in China! up to like, 70%!or even more than that!:D :D ♥
