I can’t believe it is almost over. Today they had a closing ceremony for us it was so nice, but we were all sad. In the last two weeks, I have learned so much -- from classes and visiting places. Everything is new and interesting. Also it is really fascinating how Chinese people are so proud of their culture and they are so eager to teach it to everyone. One of the most interesting places we have visited was a CQ local medical equipment company. The company invented a machine called HIFU that can treat cancer and kill the tumors without leaving a scar. It is amazing how people here are always ready to learn and always ready to make their country a better place. We go to lectures almost everyday; we learn Mandarin and different Chinese crafts like paper cutting or about ancient Chinese history.
The school has lots of fascinating mountains surrounding it; last weekend we climbed the mountain it was tiring, but it was worth it. The view from the top is marvelous and the air is very fresh. Our partners were also kind enough to go with us so we would not get lost.
This week we visited a teahouse where we had a short lecture about the Chinese tea history and the benefits of the tea. They also provided us with some tea and what they said about the tea was really true. “it makes you calm and relaxed.” We all really do not want to leave, especially today after the closing ceremony. They kept thanking us for coming and visiting them; our partners cried while they were saying good-bye to us, and lastly they gave us awards and some gifts.
