Harrison Tang~Day 1 to Day 9~China Trip 2oo8

Day 1
Today was the day of my trip.When I arrived in Beijing,the temperature in Beijing was totally different from Singapore.I can feel the cold air blowing on my face when I got down from the plane.When we reached Jinan,I was already exhausted.I felt uncomfortable in the plane but I still feel happy.At night,when we finally checked into the hotel,I heaved a sigh of relief as I was already very tired out from the long journey.
Day 2
In the morning,we went to visit one of our sister schools,Dong Fang Bilingual Experimental School.I was surprised and glad by their warm welcome.In the afternoon,we went to Furong jie and a bookstore.I was shocked as their bookstore was very big and had lots of books.At night,we went to watch a show.I could not stop laughing as the show was extremely funny.
Day 3
In the morning,we went to their school to learn and study. I learned alot of things. In the afternoon,we went to climb a very short mountain nearby the school.This climb was to prepare us for the mountain clibling at Mount Taishan on Day 6.It was very cold and tiring,but I endured.In the evening,we went to the student's house for house visiting and dinner.Jeremy,Orathai,Rach and Me went to the same house. After dinner,we played some games and it was very fun. They were very kind to us and their house was very beautiful.I desired to have it.How nice!
Day 4
After breakfast,we checked out of the hotel and we left for Qufu,another town.In the afernoon,we went to Confucious Temple,the place where he stayed and the cemetery.I was amazed by the sight of it.I think Confucious is a very good,generous and a very smart person.I also think everyone must learn from him.He is really a good example for us to learn.
Day 5
We went to another of our sister schools in the morning,Qufu International School.After we went to the classroom,I was surrounded by lots of students asking me for my autograph,my handphone number,my address and my name.It was as it I could not breathe at all.I feel like a very famous star at that time!In the afternoon,we watched the basketball match between our school and Qufu International School.We cheered for our school's basketball team.After a fierce match,our school's basketball team won the match.It was indeed interesting and exciting!After watching the basketball match,we left for Tai An.What a great day!
Day 6
We went mountain-climbling at Mount Taishan.I was nervous,excited and was looking forward to climbling Mount Taishan.As this was my first time going mountain climbling,I had a mixture of feelings.At first,I had alot of stamina.But when i had finish more than half the journey up,I had to stop and regain my stamina a few times before I continued climbling up the mountain.Even though I felt exhausted,I stll determined to continue climbling.It taught me determination after this mountain climbling.When we reached the summit of Mount Taishan,we ate KFC.At night,we went for tea appreciation.
Day 7
After eating breakfast in the morning,we left for Beijing early in the morning.After we reachec Beijing,we went to the Forbidden City and the Mao Zi Dong.I realised that the Forbidden City is very huge and I am totally amazed by it.After that,we went for dinner.After having our dinner,we went to the Bird Nest Stadium and the Water Cube.I took lots of pictures of them.I was so fascinated by them.
Day 8
Went to the Great Wall Of China.I was totally amazed by it as it is huge.I wondered how our ancestors took to build the Great Wall.It must be alot of hard work and suffering.We must really thank them for building the Great Wall.After we left the Great Wall,we had lunch and then had shopping.I had lots of fun bargaining with the China people.After the shopping,we headed for the airport and prepared to depart from China.
Day 9
We finally arrived in Singapore Airport early in the morning.It was a totally different feeling when I arrived in Singapore.I felt the warmth of my home in my heart.Though I was happy to go home,I also missed China very much.I will definitely not forget the students in China and their warm welcome that touched me.I also will definitely not forget all the things that I had done in China and the places I had visited.If I have another chance to go again,I will definitely go again.
