    Hi Mom, Dad and Pei Lin
    Yesterday, I went to the Stone Museum. It is called Bei Lin. The museum has los of stones with writings on it. Today we went to school again and the students wear their own clothing. I have already given some of the students the persents and asked them for their contact.Tomorrow we are going for sight seeing. Many of the students gave me things. Butmost of the things are not anything related to Xi'an. Brr... It is cold here. I've already layer myself but my legs and my hands are cold still. Teacher says that we will be going to the buddy's house the next week.Is the black hat at home? It is not here with me. Do you have any ways for me to keep my legs warm?
    Got to go!

  15. Hello Zijun,
    Daddy & mummy missed you so much. Remember to put on extra clothings to keep yourself warm, as the weather is getting colder. Do observe the culture in Xi'an and learn as much as you can.
    Enjoy your exploring!

  16. Hi Yu Rong,

    Rong, remember to wear the extra T-shirt b4 thermal wear.Hope u can still stay alert in this cold weather . Eat well but not too much.if u are taking long bus ride.(Love,Mum)

    Dear Suen
    Yes, the black hat is at home. Honey, regarding cold hands, try putting them inside pockets (when standing/walking), slipping them under your sweater (when seated) or cross your arms and place hands under your armpits where all that layers of clothes will keep them warmer. Legs - are you able to wear 2 layers of leggings under the pants? Remember to apply moisturizer. A layer of cream helps trap some heat too.

    Well, today, we went to the (Da Yan Ta). It was very fun over there. Our tour guide, told us the story.We were very fascinated by the story she told us. After that, we went to the northen side of the (Da Yan Ta). It was quite big over there! Following that, we went to eat lunch at the hotel. After eating, we went to the(shaanxi Li Shi Bo Wu Guan).Then, we went to the (Qu Jiang Yi Zhi Gong Yuan). We watched a river side movie and it was very well programmed.Everything went smoothly.After that, we went to a playground inside the garden. We played for a while before going back to the hotel.

    (Sorry, I made a mistake, supposed to be in Chinese)

    This is the blog for Sunday)...

    今天,我们到兵马俑去。那边真大呀!我们走的很累,花了三个小时才走完!我觉得兵马俑那儿实在太大了,如果走失了,要花老半天才能找到呢!接着,我们到兵马俑附近的餐馆吃午餐。然后,我们到超市场买东西。但是,我连一个东西也没买就离开了。我们后来回到酒店休息,接着才去酒店的餐厅去用餐。

    This is the blog for today(Monday)...

    今天我们一大早就到西师附小学了。我们也上了毛笔课。我和我的同伴一起上了PE Lesson 和computer Lesson。

    星期6, 我们到了大雁塔,陕西历史博物馆和大唐芙蓉圆。早上我们到了大雁塔。那里是堂僧把从印度取回来的经书放进大雁塔里。唐僧用了十七年把经书带回西安。然后,我们去了陕西历史博物馆。那里有三个主要的部分。那里有很多历史的物品,那里还有真金呢!吃了晚饭后,我们去大唐芙蓉圆。那里很美,因为那里有古老的房子。八点时,我们看湖里有表演。表演快要结束时,还有烟花。然后,那里也有游乐场,我们玩到满头大汗。
    昨天我们到了兵马俑和平价超市。早上吃完早餐,我们出发到兵马俑。当我们进去时我们都收到一张卡。我们不需不见那张卡,不然我们要在外等整三个钟头!兵马俑政体分成三个部分。第一个最大,也有最多的士兵。到了第三个,
    地方越来越小,士兵也越来越少。然后,吃完午餐后,我们到了平价超市去购物。那里de纪念品好贵哦!比西师附小外面的纪念品还要贵。我在那儿买了一盒吃的。

  22. Zi jun: 星期六,我们到大雁塔去参观,陕西历史博馆和大唐芙蓉园参观。到了大雁塔,小叶姐姐告诉了我们唐僧的故事。他在10岁时就到印度取经书。过了17年,他才回到了长安。回到了长安,他就把经书放在大雁塔里。那这大雁塔就保存了1000多年了。
    下午,我们到了历史博物馆去。我了解了中国有唐朝,汉朝,周朝,还有秦朝。
    晚上,我们到大唐芙蓉园去玩。那里的风景很美。过后,我们看烟花,美丽极了!

    在星期日,我们到了秦始王兵马俑博物馆参观。人们把兵马俑保存了2000多年。我看到一个蹲着的兵俑的侧面形状很像中国陕西省的地图。看了兵马俑,让我感到古代的人很聪明,觉得很优秀。
    之后,我们到平价超市去买东西。可笑的是,我一点东西都没买到。

    这是我的第一次用华文写给你。
    星期六,我们去了大雁塔(Big Wild Goose Pagoda),陕西历史博物馆(History Museum),大唐芙蓉园(Tang Paradise)和大雁塔北广场(The North Square Big Wild Goose Pagoda)。我最喜欢去大唐芙蓉园因为那里很好玩。
    星期日,我们去了兵马俑博物馆和平价超市。我喜欢去兵马俑,因为那里有很多兵俑。我今天还拍了不少的照片。有些的兵俑没有头。

    Today, we attended the school's flag raising ceremony. I was very grand. After the singing and raising of the flag, there was a prize giving ceremony.After that, a boy from Punggol and I went up to say our speeches to the shcool. There was a performance by the boy from Punggol. Following that, we went to write calligraphy. The teachers taught us how to write them but i just can't seem to get it though.In the end, we made a mess on the paper:)

  25. ZiJun: Today, we had to wake up early as we are attending the flag raising ceremony. I got to know the china's national anthem too. After the flag raising, we went to the science lab to have the chinese calligraphy lesson. It was fun. The teacher thought us how to draw cherries and write our names. After that, we went back to our class to have lessons. But ending up having PE. The teacher was very strict with them. He pulled out those who are nauthy violently, so scary...

    我们今天又到了西安师范附属小学和西安的学生一起上课。我们也参加他们的升国旗仪式。我们上了一堂书法课。老师教我们怎么握毛笔,还教我们画樱桃。我觉得这堂课很有趣。到了课室,同学们在准备上体育课。在体育课上,我们学了打篮球,拍球。老师很凶,同学们一讲话他就拉他们出去,不让他们参加游戏。过后我们到了电脑室学怎么弄电脑。剩余的时间我玩游戏。下午,我们到了公园跳绳和踢毽子,很好玩。
