Today, we went to the rural areas to know more about their traditions. Firstly, we were greeted by one group of mama.. They performed their local dance and drums. After that, we proceed to Ms Pan’s house to learn on (Nong Ming drawing) and paper cuts. This is what I cut during the lesson.. next time if anyone wants to get married I can cut the Xi Zi for them. Hahaha…


Then, we were separated into groups of 16 to have our lunch at the local’s house. There was one ah ma who looks 50 ++ although she is almost 70 yrs old. So cool.. they served us with great food as we always thought that they would only give us buns for lunch. One special device in their house was a fan without any blades. It was actually a warmer but it looked like a radar to me. Haha.. too bad we don’t have that in Singapore.
Before leaving the place, I saw pieces of ice on the floor. Initially, they were just puddles of water but it became ICE! Wow..
Then, we went back to the hotel to pack our stuff because we will be leaving tml. However, our group sneaks to the shops outside the hotel and get some local products. The things there were cheap as compared to Singapore. The problem is that we do not have time to shop. =(
We were supposed to meet at 6.30pm for our graduation ceremony. I felt so guilty for not listening attentive during lessons. Hai.. they gave us a cert and a bronze plated Bing Ma Yong. As usual, we had our Yum Seng session at the hotel restaurant. The chief prepared all the food we like and I felt so touch. Really can’t bear to leave the place!! Our group thanked the teacher in charged, waitresses and even the chief there. Haaa..

Our group went back to our room and party since it was the last day at Xi’an. We tried to finish our cup noodles and packets of milo. In the end we gave it all to JiaMin because China don’t have Milo products.
