City Tour - 湘潭 ( Xiāngtán )


Today we met the others at the Western bus station at 10AM and took a bus to Xiangtan, where we visited a school. We promoted the Winter Camp there, and after the class visits we met the kids on the schoolyard. We had conversations with them and we played some games. They were very cute. At first they were extremely shy and didn't want to come to us, but then they slowly approached us.
After a while they had quitemany questions, mostly like this: 'Hello, how are you?' 'What is your name?' 'What is your favourite food?' 'What is your favourite subject?'
And many of them asked for pictures taken together with them :)
They said I'm very tall (I'm only 166cm). They were really cute kids, but they had so much energy, we got quite tired at the end of the day. On the way back to Changsha (it took about 1 hour) we were having a nap. Some of the trainees were having a conversation, but much less than in the morning^^
All in all this was an exciting new experience.
Talking about new experience...do you know how's a chinese toilet? It's nothing like in Europe. Today we had a chance to meet a very 'interesting' public toilet, whch had only a kind of a long ditch in the ground, and above it waist high walls separated the 'cabins'. And it was not that clean. Anyways it was not as a catastrophic situation as you might imagine it. :D
Tomorrow we will have a training day.

..I almost forgot about my new bus card. You have to pay so there'll be some money on it, and then you can use it when paying for the bus. So you don'T have to keep 1 yuan banknotes all the time.

And another thing, before we arrived home we went to the little restaurant of her family, and we got noodles (actually onnly I ate this time) it was sooo delicious. I told it to her mother too: 这很好吃。 She was happy about it :)

So now Flynn and me are sitting on the sofa, whith a big blanket and that wonderful thing called leg heater ^^

...I'll try to get pictures later :)
