Day Seven and Eight
These two days during the IS lesson, we learn about the Chinese traditional culture and etiquette, Religions and Chinese traditional culture. They only have five major festivals mainly the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year), Yuan xiao jie (Dumping day), Qing ming jie (Tomb-sweeping day), Zhong que jie (Mid-autumn festival) and Chong yang jie (Ninth of the ninth month). They taught us the process of making green tea leaves and the key point is fresh. Tea is divided into 4 different ways of fixation such as roasted, baked, sun withering and steamed. In China there are 3 major religions namely Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Besides that, also get to know how these 3 religions come together and stuffs.
I usually help my mother with household chores so I have no problem washing my own clothes but, due to the cold weather our clothes need about 3 days to dry. Thus my roommate and I decided to take our clothes for dry wash.
After school we had a cultural activity, a basketball competition with the China students. It was a spectacular match because our score were very near. It seems like an international match. The spectators, like us, are more excited and nervous than the players. Everybody is cheering for their country. In the end we lost but the scores are not far away. Hope this match allows both parties to make more friends.
