Went there with charlotte miss daniels for the drama section there. 17 international schools around china participated ~~  It was hosted by this hunmongous international school there : Dulwich College Beijing. They have like almost 500 people in high school...they have like literally every facility you need in a school...even a golf driving range... =-=''

Put down our stuff there and went out to eat lunch ~~ Went to Beijing's most famous peking duck restaurant...it has been there like since Qing Dynasty-.-''

Outside of the shop~

After lunch, we wanted to go to the forbidden city or tiananmen square...but...... the congress was going on then and most of the roads were restricted to go in.... wtf- - too bad ToT" then we went to get some stuff from a bookstore for ms daniels before moving on. We had limited time left so we decided to just pass by the birds nest and water cube.

Before that, i was always wishing and hoping that i could get like some imba good rich house parent or smth..or just someone that is damn nice...i think that really worked! HAHA! 

But this was how it went... the parents were holding their tags high up... but i just couldnt find mine anywhere- - *starts to get nervous*... charlotte found hers and almost everyone found theirs...still couldnt find mine....i was like " omg la...wtf gg no parents~"...then suddenly saw my name o.o''. It's a mum from Papua New Guinea ~ at first...i only saw her younger son which is like pri 6? ...then i WTF? pri 6 guy is my host - -'' sure sian diao no topic talk 1... then realised he has an older son which is 1 year younger than me...then i PHEW... his dad is from England and  he has the mixed blood look~ name= Jordan...nice guy :D

Aniway went back real tired that day.... lazy to post up pic of airport and homestay pics.... =S 

School week was pretty tired too...after an array of stuff to catch up after missing days from school cos in beijing....tmr going shanghai! hope it will be fun too :D

CYA!

It was a freaking slow week... i can say...probably the awaiting of SOOO much events has made it even slower... 

Friday- I can say this was a pretty new experience for me... High school students went to visit a local migrant school in our area...its a school for migrant workers who come from far away to work here....and their kids study there... There were like almost 600 students in a such a small place...at the most as big as both of our tennis courts added together... A group of like 40 top students in the school kinda earned themselves a trip to visit our school...Each of us had to bring a student and tour them around the school...

Its just that after getting a close exposure to poorer kids...i kinda realise how lucky we are and how good a situation we are in... some of them never ate chocolate before...never touched computers before...asked why the salad was not cooked...haiz... i believe there are millions and millions of kids even worst than these...starving out there...suffering out there...haiz........made me think alot...

Slept really late that night...like around 3....chatted for a long longggg time....woke up at almost 12pm the next day=-='' Jason came from shanghai to ningbo to visit- - he called at like 9...returned call him and said he will only be reaching like at 2-3+... actually will be meeting him on sunday but suddenly...pal called..."Mindy lost her wallet...call her now..." UHHH okae- - 

"Number you have just dialed is not available" =-=....called back pal.....and he asked me to call charlotte so i called..."Mindy lost her Fone..."  and changed of plans..decided to fetch jason today and probably just say a hi before leaving...met them up at starbucks...GOSSIPING SESSION before picking up jason...said hi and because had clashing schedules...we left and brought charlotte to eat thai food as a belated birthday meal. 

Aniway this may be the last post until coming back from Beijing Trip~~ 

Wish me good luck over there :D
