观赏樱花

Can’t visit Japan in Spring to admire the cherry blossoms?














Some of us, International and exchange students, decided to make do with a trip to 玉渊潭公园this afternoon.














Somehow, the cab that I was in ended up at the park’s East Gate, while all the rest were at the West Gate.

And so…I explored the park with 3 new friends – 2 Laotians and 1 African from Congo.














Lar and Biggest (pronounced: Bee-gus) are Master students in PKU, the former doing Business and the latter, Economics.


















Jin is an International Relations Year 1 student.














We saw this cute little boy with his mummy…














But when Lar carried him… ;)














We also came across some soldiers at a Poetry Recital session. (??!!)
































Bought this 烧饼snack at 3rmb, and got Biggest to be its spokesperson. =P
































This sign was interesting…














and Biggest said it makes him cry…sobz??

About 2 hours after wandering around on our own, we met the rest! Finally, a group pic…














And of course, more photos.

Qian Qian, my neighbour and the only exchange student from Austria.














Kai Qin of course…














I couldn’t understand why Jia Song said I shouldn’t stand behind him, until…


















And here’s one with Muscle Man aka SSA’s secretary, Jin Yao!














Before we left the park, some French and English-speaking Chinese tried to pick Biggest up. He sure is a hot favourite among the locals! =P














We were famished when we arrived at Nyonya Kitchen for dinner.














Although it cost almost S$6.00, this laksa was good enough. I mean, where else can I find laksa anywhere near campus?!














Lar had popiah…














And many Singaporeans ordered this: Char Kway Teow!














Yummiliciousssss!
