Day 6,7,8,9

My goals for this trip: 1) improve my chinese
2) make more friends
3) eat weird stuff that china offers
4) get into the 'O' levels study mood

Day6: Today we went to Bei Da university and Qing Hua university. After which, we went to have steamboat which was extremely delicious! and... CHEAP!!! 50 yuan only!!! Temperature is improving and it is getting warmer. YAY!!! All is fine and laughing everday!!!!

Day 7: Today was free day! Firstly, i went to church with 4other students and 1 teacher. It was an international church and it was really almost the same as in Singapore. It was an open church but only opened to foreigners, haiz... Next i met up with my friends and we went shopping, shopping, shopping and more shopping!!! YIPEE! I went bargaining and it was so fun. Girls were there shopping while i was there having "fun". HAHA. Feel happy here with new friends =)

Day 8: We went to Tian Jing today to check out the Sino-Singapore project here. They have plan to research more on recycling and a more eco-friendly place. It was a eye opener as I realised Singapore was still far away from a eco-friendly enviroment. It was interesting but the trip there and back was like 2 1/2 hours there and back and we stayed for a short while only... Abit wasted as we did not see much but it was worth the trip.

Day 9: I climbed part of THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA! It was really funny as a group of us (Anglican students and teachers + Mr Ng and a few Nan Hua students) were hyped up as we walked. We played music, sang, danced, shouted and sang more. HAHA! It feels good as no one can hear you from way up there. We climbed in up in 1hour30minutes when the average is 1hour, but it was really fun. It is indeed quite memorable. By the way, temperature is at average -4 to 7 degrees and it considered warm.. haha. I heard the first snow in Beijing is tomorrow =) PRAY HARD!!!
