TongXiang, Zhejiang, AYLC'09
Sunday, 15 February 2009
Let the pictures do the talking first.
This are the documents the farewell night of the AYLC!
I will be posting more on JJ Night rather than AYLC. As there's a lot to be posted on. :P I will try to edit the post etc. A week have passed after I came back from shanghai, and seriously, there's a lot of things to work on. With common test coming next week, however I hope I am able to tell you guys the beautifulness that Zhejiang unfold to me.
To a large extent, Yunnan CIP trip was really different from the AYLC. Though some of the Yunnan people like me was found in AYLC....
First day R&R
It was really freaky as I was so tired that my body gave way and I slept on the auditorium, where the others were watching movie quietly. That was the most slackiest period of my life, where the coolness of the weather made you want to sleep more. The ride from Pudong International Airport to QiuShi Middle School was a nice ride, an 3 hour bus ride, and we are still in China! If we take a 3 hour bus ride from Singapore, we may have reached other Malaysia states I think?
My 8hour journey from Singapore to Qiushi was quite an fortunate one, which I can reach my destination easily. One group mate I have known, he's from Yunnan, Shangri-La, and he have to travel 8-10 hours bus ride from Shangri-La to Kunming, and domestic flight to shanghai. That must be really hard on him.
We played basketball, which at the end of the match, our body felt warm enough even without jackets.
Mostly that's how the first day ended...
AYLC
- Forum --> Leadership notes and resources
-Cultural immersion--> one of the activity that I liked most! The games that I have played in my childhood was played again. I stopped childhood games when I was about 10 years old, and 5 years from them was really leading an non-childish life. The happiness created from games was definitely beyond desription, especially we played it with our new found friends, the intense happiness in us, was great!
The most exciting game to me is the Lao Ying Zhua Xiao ji, the eagle that is suppose to catch the chicks behind the mother hen. The last time I played that game was about 9 years ago? Where the memory in me was still quite fresh.
- Cheers --> Our LG3 cheer ! : I say "LG" you say "3"
we got LG3
I say "LG" you say "3"
we got LG3
Go! LG3 Go! Go! LG3 oooohhhh..... LG3!
That's adapted from Mayflower sec's school cheer. I am glad that they are willing to start their school cheers there. Which I will not further elaborate.
-Separation night. The night where many of us separated. Hope to see them again.
ZheJiang walkaround
It is just the scenery, and a display of the nature despite the province is developing their areas. They preserve great nature, and the chinese style of farming area was easily found there. Usually the farmland we seen in Singapore are equiped with technologies, while in China, you can see the original farming processes. Which perry had demostrated to me with the cycle type of rolling.
Shanghai
That's where shopping maniac on the loose! :P The first day temperature was breezing, while the second day was really H.O.T!!! I almost suffered heat stroke when I'm in the airport. The weather is not really cold there, while I receive update from my friend in Singapore that, the northern part of china are experiencing extreme cold weathers. Which Spring is suppose to be cooling and with a longer day, compared to winter. The tour guide have also filled me with a lot of tips regarding china weathers, history, economy. If you manage to take a chinese taxi with me last week, you can notice the scenery you looked outside feel as if you are in Singapore liek about 10pm 11pm etc. while your watch kind of telling you it's only about 7pm++. The traffic was not really dangerous compared to Kunming, as the traffic there were lookout by traffic polices, and most of them are very polite in terms of traffic courtesy. Also, if you have a chance, go to my facebook to see more photos, as blogger have a slow speed uploading photos.
I got to go. See you at the next post!
