We touched down at Shanghai at 0605 hours. The first thing that made us all amazed was the cold weather and the fact that smoke came out of our mouth as we speak. The journey continued with a 2 hour bus ride to TongXiang Quishi Experimental Middle School.
In contrary to the cold weather, we were warmly welcomed by the TongXiang students as they helped us with our luggages and clapped and cheered as we made our way to the meeting point. There were other schools who were with us as well.
After briefing and unpacking our luggage at the hostel, it was free time and we spent it together. There were not much programmes except for movie sreening as there were still many more participants who were on their way.To make use of the time we had, we decided to play basketball with the First Toa Payoh student leaders and teacher-in-charge. It was really fun and great as we were able to bond with others and improve our basketball skils at the same time. We were all sweating by the end of the game despite the 6 degrees weather! We then decided to run around the field. The feeling of the wind brushing against us was great.
The day continued with movie screening, dinner and culture immersion programme where the students get to warm up with the members in their leadership group.
Time passes really slowly today but we are just glad to be here. Look out for more updates!
