Harrison - Day 1

Today was the day of my trip, when i arrived in Beijing, the temperature in Beijing was totally different from Singapore. I could feel the cold air blowing on my face when I got down from the plane.

When we reached Jinan, I was exhausted. I felt uncomfortable on the plane but I felt very happy. When we finally checked in the hotel at night, I heaved a sigh of relief as I was already very exhausted.

Back from the china, its was fun and resourceful. Had a lot of new experiences such as, attending school at the qufu experimental school and the dong fang bilingual experimental school. Learnt about the past of Kong Zi. Went the GreatWall and Forbidden City too. It was really fun and I made a lot of new friends. If I had a chance, I would go back to China with the school again.


With love,

Marie - PreTrip!

I'm not exactly too excited about the trip now. After sitting through our final briefing, I felt tortured because I'm the only one who can't speak or understand Chinese. The whole briefing was in Chinese. I realized I'd be the only one who was clueless and it was going to be Chinese 24/7. Hopefully it's better when I get there. I've done some research and looks like it's gna be really cold. I'm looking forward to the mountain climbing, seeing the Great Wall and the Olympic Stadium.

Qianhui -Day 4 (Wed) -29oct08

We went to visit the Confucius Mansion ,Confucius Temple and Confucius forestry in QuFu. Confucius was born in China ,ShanDong. He was the organiser of the Confucianism and also a educationist.He taught all the people who wanted to learn and didn't care about the people were rich or poor. When he is still alive ,he was very poor and after he dead ,he left only 3 thatched cottages as his properties.But ,his descendants were very rich. The Confucius Mansion was the place that they lived.
I don't felt any tiredness after visiting because I took many photos and I think these spots are worth visiting.

Qianhui - Day 3 (Tue) - 28oct08

Oh My God!!!
I realised that the school toilets didn't have door!!!
It was a troublesome problem when I needed to go toilet!!!
This was the first time I felt extraordinary uncomfortable to go toilet.We needed to stand beside the partition and squatted down together after one of us said "1..2..3..".It was so pathetic!!!
We studied about the flower of their city ,lotus ,and learned some descriptions about lotus.We also joined the China students studied in their classes.We joined them studied History and English.
Our school basket ball team had a tournament with the Dong Fang Bilingual Experimental School basket ball team and our school team won!!!
After going to school ,we had a family visit.We separated into groups and waited for the parents.
My new friend name is Yuan Xin Ning.Her house had four floors and on the fourth floor had a lot of books ,liked a library.Her family were very friendly and they always treated us food ,example bananas ,mandarin oranges ,tomatoes ,chocolates ,candy ,biscuits etc.
After walked around her house ,we had a delicious dinner at their dining room.It was the best dinner that I had during the 8 days of China trip.My favourite dish was the "jiao zi".

Qianhui - Day 2 (Mon) - 27oct08

This was the first day we went to the Dong Fang Bilingual Experimental School.The teachers and students were very friendly.They had a welcome ceremony for our visit.
After visiting the school ,we went to visit the "Da Ming Lake".It is a special lake which water always remain at the same level however there was a rain or dry weather.
We also went to the "Fu Rong Street" which is a popular street in Jinan.In the street ,there were many hawker selling the their local food and many of tourists went there for their local food.
We went to a bookshop which was near by the "Fu Rong Street".
At night ,we enjoyed the Cross-talk appreciation.At first , i couldn't understand their conversation.But ,after a few minutes ,i understood their conversation slowly.Their conversation were very funny and humorous especially the last performer.The difference of the day and night temperature in Jinan was very big.When we were waiting for the coach after the cross-talk appreciation ,i felt very cold and i hugged with my friend to keep warm.

Qianhui -Day 1(Sun)-26oct08

Spending so much time on flight ,finally we arrived Jinan. It's not simple to go Jinan from Singapore.From Sinsapore to Beijing ,we needed 6 hours ,transit to Shandong Jinan ,we needed 1 hours.
The weather at there was very cold and the light in the night is very beautiful.
The food at there is different with the food in Singapore.I don't like their traditional food, "man tou" , which is a bun that made from flour,because the "man tou" has the taste of flour only.
I don't like the food at there because some of them were very salty ,some of them were very sweet ,some of them were very oilly ,which I am not used to.
After dinner ,we checked in hotel and had our first night of sleep with our roomate.

Hwee yang-pre trip

woohoo.. we're going to leave for china this sunday..I've went to china last year before, so i will be able to understand the enviroment better. But for this trip, I'm very excited for the visit to the great wall and the forbidden city.. I have never visited such "holy" venues before.The venues of the Beijing olympics would also be an additional plus to the trip.

I hope that i would make new friends there and have a better understanding to the lifestyle and history to china after the trip.Last but not least I hope that i will enjoy the trip. CYA in china !!
