Another Field Trip for the SHOPAHOLICS
Today was our last lesson for making Chinese knots (3). Out of all the lessons studied in school, this was the most interesting and also makes me stay awake throughout the lesson. We learn how to make a new knot. It was quite complicated and only a few students graduated for this lesson.
We had lunch and then off we go to Wan Tong Wholesale Market accompanied by the local students taking the subway. The place was sort of like silk market but I think silk market was better. I didn’t get anything from there except for ice-cream! The ice-creams in Beijing are quite nice & UNIQUE. I LIKE! Even my group members didn’t buy much so we decided to go out from the building and sit at MacDonald. We sat and chatted there until 4pm. Even though our guide didn’t know how to speak English, we had Eric-our translator. We get to know more about her and she gets to know more about us too.
We were dismiss from there and I returned to the guesthouse. We took a bus home and it’s my 1st time boarding Beijing buses. We paid only 1yuan for the ride. I didn’t go out today as I was pretty lazy so I rest at the guesthouse and wait for the day to pass by. Briefing as usual and I still have not yet buy the presents for the farewell party.
