Dongguan Trip- 2nd day


Second day: We woke up early in the morning, a little too early, I guess. I felt bored, so I opened my room door and walked outside. I found my friends outside talking to one another, so I joined in the chat. Alright, in the end we got a scolding for opening the door at the hotel and talking to friends.
After breakfast, we headed for the Dongguan Taiwanese School! We shook hands with the principals when we alighted from the bus. They escorted us to a room where all our partners were standing in a two straight rows- one row of girls and one row of boys, who warmly welcomed us. I met Ethan, my buddy, who stayed in my house last September. Luckily he could recognise me!
Then, we had a briefing on what to do and what not to do.
Our buddies escorted us to their hostels. I was pleasantly surprised to see my room. Although it was small, it was nice, clean and cosy. The beds were quite comfortable.
After that, we had a tour around the school, before proceeding to a buffet lunch at the school canteen. After lunch, I thought the pupils were supposed to study or something, but actually, they were supposed to take a nap! Unfortunately I could not sleep as I was not used to it.
After Ethan had his nap for an hour, we proceeded for lessons. I did not understand the lessons in Chinese, but luckily Science was taught in English. For dinner, we went to the lounge instead of canteen. There, we had a chat in the karaoke room with one of the principals. After that, we went to sleep.
