China trip part 1: Shaoxing

I first arrived at Shanghai-Pudong airport and took the tour bus to the hong qiao bullet train station. The train station is really big and has some facilities that Singapore do not have they have a water station, for people to go there and use their bottle to refill either hot or cold water. They also have a station for you to charge your phone incase your phone was low on battery.  The highest speed the train can go is 300km/h, the interior of the train is quite nice and comfortable. I also went to a secondary school there called Shaoxing Shuren Middle School. The school is quite big compared to my school they have 3 basketball court and 1 volleyball court. We also attended their history and literature lesson, and i found that they love to use a lot of small projects to teach the students as the students have to research on the information they need and share it with the class. They have a 10 minutes break in between each lesson. The students are very quiet when the lesson started and they will always answer the teacher in unison, they do not turn back and talk but sit up straight and listen to what the teacher is teaching. During the after noon i also went to Luxun's former residence and his museum and last but not least i also when to the Shen Garden. As i was at Luxun's former residence and his museum i learnt more about him and his past. The Shen Garden is really beautiful and has many magnificent huts.
Haha this is my lunch for the first day...KFC!!!

The school food, it does not really suit me the fish and tofu was  sour maybe they added vinegar in it.
