「 what behind my shadow. 8:00 PM 」

Happy New Year!!!

After sleeping for 12 hours, I feel rejuvenated. Thus is time to put the trip in Xiamen on.
The last stop: Fujian, Nanjing, Changjiao Primary School (The time in city is consider trash =D)

The first day of our arrival, we took about 4 hours on the trip just to reach the primary school. The first thought in mind: woah, this school certainly stands out from the surrounding. Not just with the height it is on, it's also the more modern design comparing to others.

We were welcomed with the person non other than the principal himself. The dormitory's standard is still not bad (better than what I have expected it to be). There is fan, hot water for shower, toilet for each room. though the room is still small to accommodate 6 guys. But whatever, the main focus is not here.

SKIPPING TO THE FIRST DAY OF TEACHING
In the morning we moved out all the iron frame for the bed and started to "derust" them, the first day was OMG, the rust is on my shirt.... That was not the worst.

The kids from Primary 3 were pretty excited, but of course, they maintained a considerable fear towards teachers. Thus it was quite easy to teach them. For the first day of lesson, we revised the alphabets A - R and taught them S - Z, don't expect their standard to be like ours. They just learnt English for one year. Then there was the revision for number 1 - 10. After the revision, we just taught them colors. They actually learnt quite swiftly.

SECOND DAY OF TEACHING-FIFTH DAY OF TEACHING
(Resumed on 3rd Jan)
The kids were basically enthusiastic about learning English, and at the same time, torturing me with the same vigor. Whatever gave them this notion I don't know, they started to call me "土匪" and shoving me around like a ball (I have no better description for this one). For those Btards who just stood there, watching, or just accidentally brought your handphone/camera and took a video of me, THANK FOR THE SUPPORT, ASSHOLE...

The teaching were quite good, their cooperation in games exceeded my expectations. Thus, I was relatively happy and "土匪" did not really bother me (in fact I grew to liking it).

WEEKENDS!!
During the weekends, we were supposed to visit the kids' homes and chat with their family members. However, due to the fact that most of the kids were involved in the filming of drama series 《鲁冰花》, we stoned at the filming site for about 3 hours. In the afternoon, we decided to split ourselves up (the kids just couldn't rest without some of us staying there), I was sadly one of them. However the visit was, I don't know, ask Benjubby if you want...

Sunday/Funday, PLAYDAY! Because the kids were unhappy, we decided to "sneak out" of the school, relieving us from the chores of painting and stuff, to play with the kids. It was of much fun, but they were still sad that we couldn't go their homes. Aaawww!

LAST FEW DAYS OF TEACHING IN CHANGJIAO
The kids were out of control. Finish.

PERFORMANCE
hmm... Well, everybody was awesome XD
Cried out loud, yes, we all cried of course.
Okay, except for SOME PEOPLE, ya.
It's really sad, though for the first 30 min I just stood there watching people crying, laughing alone. The sudden surge of sadness overwhelmed me all because of this small boy suddenly cried and hugged me, saying, "土匪,你不要走..." OMG, that's really heartbreaking.

SOME WORD FOR NEXT BATCH
DUN GET TOO CLOSE TO THE KIDS, or you will suffer in hell =D

「 what behind my shadow. 8:37 AM 」

Herro peepo!
We are currently in the mountainous area in XiaMen teaching the kids here english and building a mini library for them concurrently.

Let's start from the very beginning XD
First Stop; Ningbo
We stayed in a hotel within walking distance from the school we are having our immersion in.
During the trip, we toured the whole place to visit the tourist sites and the 发电厂 too, it was quite cool. The whole place is really huge and it's right beside the sea. Thus, we could feel the cold sea wind blowing on us, the flying hair of course XD.

As Ningbo was near the sea, we got to taste quite a number of fresh seafood and 酒文化 thanks our dear DK.

Second Stop: Wuxi
Home Sweet Home! I basically stayed at home for all the nights there muahahaha

Third Stop; Suzhou
Suzhou Foreign Language School is the name of school we were staying in for the whole immersion there. It's the first time we had homestay with the locals there.

During the homestay, my buddy brought me out together with a lot of other buddies to play outside for one whole day. It was really cool and fun. This part of the trip is practically unforgettable.

Fourth Stop: Shanghai
上海延安中学 provided hotel standard hostel for us to stay in. We really appreciated that XD. During the trip in shanghai, we went on a learning course in BreadTalk, learning their 工厂、品牌and营运. They really taught us wholeheartedly and I sold quite some cakes for them too haha. It was really fun

Last Stop: Xiamen
Still ongoing
