Dongguan Trip- 4th day

Fourth day: It rained like crazy today. In the morning after breakfast, we headed for the bus to the Dongguan Exhibition Centre. It was very interesting. I learnt about China’s history and most of the meanings of people’s surname.
After the event, we headed for lunch. We ate at McDonalds and I was surprised that the McDonalds in China was different compared to Singapore. Not only are the prices different but the food were different too.
Sadly after we had eaten, it started to rain heavier. The teacher opened the door and said, “Hope you enjoy your time in the rain!” At first we were puzzled, but when we realized what she meant, we dashed for the bus.
When we reached the school, we went to the music room to rehearse for the night’s performance. We came out of the music room with a furious teacher, because we were so soft that from where the teacher stood, she could barely hear us.
Then, after all the scolding, we headed for their campsite called Life Camp!
The teambuilding activities were very fun. Though we only did two activities due to the rain, it was still worth it.
After the activities in the camp, we went back to the school to have swimming lessons. Again, it was fun. I raced with my Taiwanese friend called Edward. Although I lost, I was only a few cm slower than him. I also raced with my other friends.
After one whole day, it was finally the performance. The Lasallians made a few mistakes, but luckily no one noticed. There were many other Taiwanese performers. They are really talented. We were impressed. After the performance, we went to sleep.
