14 July - Cultural Activities

Day 2 in China, we went to our sister school Dong Fang De Cai to do some cultural activities.  We learned Chinese phrases and had a chopstick showdown.



 Afterwards, it was time for some paper cutting, which is used in China to send well-wishes to people.



In the calligraphy class, we were told that some parents collected their children's hair to make brushes as a momento.  Then it was our turn to write the word "dragon".



Just before dinner, we bought some fruits at the traditional market nearby.  Just beginning to warm up our Chinese and bargaining skills!  What a wonderful introduction to Beijing!
