Day 24 - INTERACTION WITH LOCAL STUDENTS!

October 7 , 2010 It's interaction day with local students in the afternoon! After PM lecture in the morning, we all went back to hostel to get ourself ready for today's activity. Well since it's a BBQ in the afternoon, we all went to the provision shop to buy the necessary stuffs for BBQ. Drinks, snacks all sorts of stuffs are bought for the BBQ secession and off we go at around 12pm. The BBQ pit was somewhere near 建设五路 and it took us around 1 hour journey of walking! VERY TIRED once we reached that place because it's very far away from our campus.
We get started by laying mats on the floor and begin to do those necessary preparations. Starting up fire, cut and poke those hotdogs and mushrooms.

After that , i went to a open area where there's alot of sports for us to play. Table tennis , Badminton, Basketball etc. Today i learn another new skill in my life. I finally know how to play table tennis today. Thanks to 沈平(shen ping) , one of the local student who teach me how to play table tennis! Thank you 沈平!Well i got hooked on that sports and i keep on playing it.. Table tennis is fun!
Other than playing table tennis i also play basketball , badminton with the local students. Well they are much better than me in sports because they do practice frequently, unlike me :(
After whole activity ,we all left the place together and went back to hostel to rest. What a day, What meaningful and enjoyable day for me ...
Playing basketball!



Self-reflection :
Thinking back today about the BBQ secession in the afternoon, i find that it's a good experience for us to have such interaction with them. First is to get to know them more , second is to know more of their lifestyle. For example, The way their BBQ and us in Singapore is totally different. They BBQ cabbage, mushrooms , meat , 馒头(Buns) etc while for us is Fish, seafood, meat, marshmallow and alot more. They use oil instead of butter to apply on the food too. Well this is what we should know, their way of doing stuffs are different from us which can distinct show a difference between both country. But what really important is that through this interaction , i have know more friends and this is the best thing i ever experience today! :)..
