Day: Thursday, December 06
Venue: 滑雪场
Mood: Excited

Wanqi: Actually "hua xue" is quite "shuang"..

Clara: I think the instructor should show us more tricks and all.

All: I don't know why they keep asking us for tip. In the end, most of us paid about 250rmb on average. But the tour guide actually told us after that, that we didn't have to tip the instructors..

Wanqi: But actually the instructors are all quite helpful. For example: I fell down and another instructor helped me up even though they were not my instructor.

I stayed in the hostel with Jia Qi and Pepper because I wasn't really feeling very well. –shrinks- Accompanied pepper to meet her friend to lunch…went to makan at 过桥米线…somewhere near our dorm and her friend ordered a big bowl for three of us to share. And the big bowl was really very big and the friend was very kind because she paid for our food and drinks…and said that she is the “di zhu”( I think it’s means host in English) so she is treating us instead.

Even though I didn’t go sking, I feel that communicating with the Chinese people here is better than communicating with the Chinese people in Singapore because they are more humble and sweet. Hee;)

Samantha: Basically, the skiing was quite fun except that some oif us didn't know that we were suppose to come out only at 11.45am instead of 11am. Hence, some of us didn't really play for a long time…

After hearing what they said about skiing…I think I should really try it some day but not here because the weather is really very cold. Imagine -12degrees everyday…Jia Qi is wearing two thermal, one windbreaker and a outer layer of jacket already…

After skiing and lunch with pepper's friend, we went to 桂林路to meet Ji lao shi. She brought us to Fine arts and Music school, Jilin College of Arts. The building is quite big but compare to the main campus, it is much smaller. The day ended with a five star service Japanese and Korean steamboat….why a five star service…- they shifted the lesser portion food to a small plate in order to make more space for more food- they make sure that all of us are comfortable by putting a cover at the back of our chairs. - they hold our bags while we were wearing our jackets- as we were walking out, all of them thanked us and bow 90 degrees to thank us…the two waitress hold the door and our cab was here…

DEBRIEF>>>

”Eeee。。。要下雪了。。”

I guess it's going to snow soon. We are all very very excited for it to happen
