Day 29 10-11

It was a school day yesterday where we had Chinese Culture lessons and also Reformation and Development of Chinese Finance lessons.

The Chinese culture lesson was supposed to start at 9am where we would have met the teacher and head over to get our hands dirty in traditional Chinese calligraphy. However, the voluntary lesson was postponed to 6pm that night.

Instead, some of the boys went to the gym for a workout whilst the others went for lunch at 11:30am.

After that we headed to Reformation and Development of Chinese Finance lesson. It was yet another thought provoking session where the professor was lecturing on the securities law in Chinese Finance. It was pretty interesting learning on how the market can be manipulated by big players and other illegal acts like fraud and insider information.

After that we met up for dinner at 5:15 pm at the school cafeteria before heading out to meet the Professor for Chinese Culture at 6pm.

It was a quick 5mins walk before we arrived at the calligraphy school.

The school was meant for children to learn the art of calligraphy. But we were there to learn as well!!

It was a pretty short session as the children had lessons around 7.30pm so we had to vacate after a short but fulfilling session. I am sure all of us had a meaningful time!
