Day 31: Happy 60th Birthday China!

Day number 31, 1st October 2009. Today is China's 60th National Day thus, it means day off for us! The campus was rather quiet now as most of the students are back home on a 8 days national day holiday. How I wish Singapore will have 8 days of holiday during National Day too! :D

People's Republic of China


As it was a day off for us, most of us slept in and tried to get more sleep to replenish those days which we had insufficient sleep. After waking up, washed up, prepared and meet up with some of the rest and headed out for breakfast cum lunch!

After having our meals, we headed back to our hostel rooms to relax and enjoy the day off which we have. We play games, chit-chatted and hang around and time really flies. Soon it was dinner time and we headed out for dinner! Here are some of the photos taken during dinner!

My Reflections:

Having a day off during the PRC National Day was certainly a "treat" for all of us as we were all busy with assignments and presentations. Besides, it also give us an opportunity to experience National Day celebration in a foreign land. By comparing the National Day celebrations in Singapore and over here, I would say that, certainly, the parade and events over here will be more grand and majestic as compared to what we have back home.

Being here for 31 days, experiencing different sorts of things over here is certainly an eye-opener for me, with the totally different environment and things which we see back home. 11 more days for me to experience more things which will be thrown at me and these 11 days will definitely be insufficient for me as well as my mates to experience everything over here.
