11th day - 18/03/11

It's day 11! Today is special because we got programs for us! So we had APPG lesson in the morning followed by lunch. Today lunch was great, we had the fried beehoon by the street and it taste real awesome! So after lunch we plan to meet at 12.45pm at one of the building in school and we took the public bus to a place called "天津紫砂会馆" (tianjing zi sha hui guan). We went there to learn more about the tea culture and there is a demo on how to make the tea and serve plus all the rules and stuff. Not just that, we get to try to make the tea ourselves also. It was my first time doing that and it was a really great experience. Through this session, it makes me love drinking tea even more so i bought another small pack of tie guan yin and a modern tea cup or pot where i can boil and make the tea.

Then after the tea session, we decided to go 滨江道 (bin jiang dao) again to shop. There has been the place that we had been going so often because they were a lot of things to shop there. On the way to the bus stop that can lead to滨江道, we coincidentally met a small group of Singaporeans! They heard us speaking English and came to talk to a group of us. They were also students from engineering courses but they were from Singapore Polytechnic to come here to study for 6 weeks. So we stayed there and chat with them for quite awhile and we took a lot of pictures with them. The feeling is just so nice when you met people from the same hometown as you, it just make you feel very heartwarming and I myself really enjoying the chatting with them. Plus it is hard to find Singaporeans in Tianjin here what is more, they are around the same age as us. Hopefully we might be able to find them on FaceBook. HAHAHAH!!
With then, we proceed to 滨江道. I also realize that Tianjin people are so friendly that they can just chat with the person next to them which they don’t know. I had a nice experience chatting with all the Tianjin people while taking the bus and going around shopping. And today, I did feel I buy quite a number of stuff and still we need to control our finance because we are still going to Beijing and I heard that the things that are also very cheap and nice. Then we went to have our light dinner at the food street in 滨江道 and we had a lot of fun laughing. Even on the way back by bus, we were having a lot fun with lots of laughter. I guess I will really miss all this memories when I go back to Singapore. So far, I am still not missing my bed and feel okay about not having my family members with me here. OK~ it’s quite late, and I shall end my post here. Memories do stays~
