Trip to China - day 12

07.07.2014

Monday. Again taiji. For the last time in this visit to China – it would be a bit too strenuous to get up that early with all the classes and trips during the workdays.

Having said goodbye to taiji masters and practitioners, we (me, Alasdair and Sarah) went back to the university campus and had a great opportunity to experience workday early morning Guangzhou traffic jams.
As a result, I learnt how to say “I am late” in Chinese. Like this, approximately: 我迟到了. And to be polite it is better to add 对不起. J


After the class of spoken Chinese we had a great calligraphy class where I learnt to work on self-improvement: 自强不息. Or at least on writing about it.

The second half of the day was about travelling to some shopping malls by metro with our nice Chinese student volunteers.

The main impressions were a huge shopping mall…
…and one of the key underground stations at peak time.
