Woke up feeling very sleepy. No idea why but I'm sleeping much more than usual. Maybe too nice to sleep then will feel sleepy hmm.

Today was the opening ceremony, then at the school before going in they gave us our country's flags attached to straws o.o then alex went to carry his for his presentation and he forgot to bring it back down so he had to go back up to take it down lol.

After that we went back to hotel for lunch before sleeping for 1 hour then going to tasly group. At first I saw it as tasty group on the itinerary and was happy cos I thought it was a snack factory or something. Turns out to be some medical company.

There are two buses, then bo qing and I got separated from the rest of our school people. I ended up sitting with people from Italy, Australia and America who kept talking about random stuff lol. Thing is that it was kind of awkward cos all of them are like 16/17 hmm. Can see like, all the european/american people group together, then the asian people sort of in their own groups.

We walked around and bused around and stuff in the medical place with a heavy smell of tcm. Their toilet signs for female toilets are amusing, only one leg. Then they have switches with a sticker below them saying "saving power", means you must turn on the switch to save power as said by ng peng.

Then there was the presentation by them with impromptu translation. The person was speaking in chinese, the powerpoint was in..english..sort of. Then there was an english translator. But some of the things were quite amusing.

Walk-in closet become walking closet
Their facilities keep away from germs, not keep germs away
On the slide, they said "follow doctors" next time go to clinic must follow them wherever they go
They said medicine is not something that is the more you eat the better, but they gave us free medicine for no apparent reason. It was amusing seeing the european people opening it up and playing with the tiny pills like passing it around and smelling it o.o
I realised it's a blessing to be bilingual because you get to be amused in two different languages

We went back to hotel then our guide/teacher in charge of our school told us that we had time to go shopping. So we went to this mall or something which is full of restaurants and weird smells. We went to ANOTHER sweet shop. Walked around for awhile then he bought chestnuts for us to eat, so nice right. Actually our guide is very nice compared to all the others who are like shouting at the people they're in charge of.

Today's dinner was nice. Got the scallop thing. But I have no idea what the mushy part of the scallop is, if I'm not wrong it's the organs and I nearly puked because I was thinking while I was chewing it and halfway through I remembered so I had to wash it all down with coke. I'm gonna get diabetes soon, every meal drink syrup juice/soft drink.

Presentation is tomorrow. At least not today, today there was the dian shi tai.

Okay end of today's post. TOMORROW IS THURSDAY WHICH MEANS SUNDAY IS COMING SOON WHICH MEANS I CAN GO BACK SOON.

I don't think I will have any use for any of my winter clothing because it isn't even that cold at night in the streets. In fact the only "winter clothing" I have is a normal sweater
