“我知道买火柴的小女孩是怎样死的了”—— Kee An（松树）

今天，大风降温。最低气温-7度，最高气温是-2度，有六级大风。



总之一个字——冷



好，先从前天说起。下午，我们去北京动物园对面的批发商场买衣服，然后沿着路往北展馆的方向走。在北展馆对面的广场，我看到有放风筝的，有玩鸟的。一时兴起，我们大家也买了风筝，过一把风筝瘾，还有发生了一些有趣的事。



昨天，我们正式上了一上午的课。两节中国老师的课和两节新加坡老师的课。中国老师讲的是中国历史社会和先秦文学。老师讲课的方式十分活泼有趣，引人入胜，令我不禁赞叹中国五千年历史的源远流长，以及体验到古人通过诗作所表达的浪漫情怀，使整整45分钟课过地十分充实。与中国老师的授课方式比较，在新加坡老师的课堂上，老师和学生之间的交流较多。或许这体现了新中两国教育体制的不同。



下午，我们参观了北京规划展览馆，了解了北京3000年的建城史和850年的建都史以及新北京的新面貌。之后，我们来到刚刚修复的前门大街，并看到了古城门。正阳门巍峨地耸立在天安门广场以南，虽然城墙早已随着时代的脚步消失，但我仿佛通过这道门，看到了数百年前作为天朝大国首都的大气磅礴，我相信这足以震撼那些前来称臣纳贡的外国使臣。面南，前门大街昔日的繁华重现于北京中轴线，几十间的百年老店林立在街道两旁，迎接八方来客。



今天，最冷的一天，我们参观了我最为熟悉的北京动物园和海洋馆。看到了憨态可掬的大熊猫，威武雄壮的狮子老虎，灵活矫健的海豚和海狮。物是人非，触景生情，我不禁感慨万分。之后参观了天文馆。



A classical quote from a XXX school female teacher:

"You dont wear jacket, you stay in the dorm"

Elaborate by us:

you dont eat breakfast, you stay in canteen

you dont take medicine, you stay in the hospital

you dont want to bath, you stay in the toilet



PHOTO TIME!!!

第二天在中国

今天我们6点早上就起来了。宿舍非常好，在这里吃得好，睡得好。今天的天气开始降低，要开始穿暖一点了。。。今天是迎新活动，所以没有读到书。我们也体验到这里的传统，就是早晨跑步。他们跑得慢但是很整齐，令人佩服。上午时，我们做本地的巴士到北京城市规划展览馆看北京的历史和文化。接着，我们到靠经西门长的官场放风筝。最终跑道气喘，基安结果被狗追！真好笑。接着又作很多精彩的活动。这里的天气开始冷了，希望我能度过北京的冬天！

2nd day here! & the weather here is fantastic :D natural air-conditioning uh. ha.

Shuttlers if you guys are reading this, be glad to know that we've been working out here. 11 storeys up in the winter isn't such a simple job. Train hard in Singapore too! :D

Oh man, feel like eating ice-cream in such a weather :)

机场看见中国国家羽球队

在北京机场看见了中国国家羽毛球队。 世界第一林丹和谢杏芳也在那里。


希望在接下来的38 天会有更多预料不到的惊喜。

HELLO!
Very cold very cold very cold! The weather here is.. WOW! Shiok ar!
Trying to adapt t the weather here, cold air, coooooooool. Even when we talk, there's some white-colour-air coming out from our mouth. Muahaha! And it's going to be colder tomorrow. We did PT yesterday! [Inside joke -.-]

We already bought our daily necessities yesterday and we are going out to buy winter clothings later. Taking bus! First time in my life. LOL.
Well, I guess I have nothing more to post.
BYEBYE! (:

Finally in Beijing

I must really say a very big thank you to all those who came to the airport to say goodbye. you guys gave me the chance to give a very 'inspirational' speech. Anyway, when i set foot on the Dragon-like Beijing airport, i can already feel the cold breeze blowing towards me. i think you can imagine how cold the weather is. We also chanced upon some athletes from Team China. As i sit in a bus, going to the dorm, i can see the environment here is very different from that of Singapore's. The traffic, the trees,the overhanging cables...... The dorm is quite satisfying and i have high hopes about this trip.

新加坡----北京

昨天1/12，我们一行十人早上在章宜机场Terminal1集合，乘搭中国国际航空公司CA976。约九点半左右，班机起飞，离开了我们熟悉的新加坡，前往北京。

经过6个小时的漫长飞行，在下午三点，通过机窗北京的郊区渐渐地映入眼帘。三点半，飞机降落在北京首都国际机场第三航站楼。出关后，第三航站楼的大震撼了我。据黄有仪说，第三航站楼总体是龙型的，一开始我还没看出来，真是“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”。

走出机场，一阵寒风迎面扑来，令人顿是感到无比清爽。那丝寒意是如此熟悉，不禁勾起我多年前回忆。在等待上巴士时，我们巧遇中国国家羽毛球队，还看到了奥运会冠军林丹。

我们的宿舍就在北师大二附中旁边，周围几乎是应有尽有，十分方便。

2/12

今天早上，我们在学校附近的早点店享用了典型的中国式早餐。有大家熟悉的豆浆、油条、包子、饺子，也有北京的油饼、豆腐脑儿、馄饨，平均下来每人只用了3.80人民币，十分便宜。之后，老师带领我们参观北师大二附中。现在，我们便在教室里使用无线网络博客。

1st Day At China

Today we arrived at Beijing airport, T3. We arrived at 3.30pm before we set off for our hostel. The weather today is managable with a light breeze. Today, we settled down and look forward to our 6 weeks stay with excitment! In a less formal tone, this is basically about our hostel. We have 80+ people, 2 very very slow lifts, and we live on the 11th floor... guess what we did? We showed our fitness and climbed up and down the stairs. It was really tiring and it made us feel we need to work on our stamina. That night, we went to the nearby convinient store to buy daily necessities and especially a SIM card. This is basically what we did for the 1st day... I cant wait for the next day!!!
