Good morning from Beijing! Our first full day has come and gone and now we are all waking up for our second day, and something very exciting: 8 schools, 100+ students and teachers come together for IYLS 2014 at Beijing Experimental High School. We will be sure to try to update you tonight after our day :).
Yesterday was an adventure filled day that started with the MOST AMAZING breakfast at the Hotel New Otani Chang Fu Gong. Crispy bacon and croissants were a hit! At 7:30am we boarded our tour bus to go to Beijing Experimental High School. We engaged in many activities including an art class, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, ping pong, a technology class and school tour.
After we were finished at the school for the day we boarded our bus and went to supper/a beautiful park area. Super was a mix of traditional Chinese noodles, chicken, fish and rice. Our last stop of the evening was the famous Red Theatre for the Kung Fu show!
There were a few sleepy eyes on our way back to the hotel at 9pm - which is the sign of a busy and exciting day. One final thought before signing off... It was 22 degrees and sunny here yesterday!
Have a great Friday night,
-Ms. Bradbury on behalf of the team :)
