Biking!

Biking wasn’t hard except for the bumpy roads that gives you painful butt massages. Let’s ignore this and go in to the pleasantries; nature. This place! I really couldn’t concentrate on biking after I got a taste of the nature in Qingyuan, it was nothing like Shenzhen! It was as if I was not in China! Hence the bugs OMG. Even the people there were really kind hearted people. Compare them with people in Shenzhen. Ugh. Shenzhen people can go to mars or something. Nonetheless my group made it back in time albeit a little faster than the schedule so we got some more free time.

Rock climbing was the HARDEST activity I did. Walking few kilometers and tada! Standing infront of me was a huge mass of rock that I was supposed to climb along with my teammates. I’ll tell you that was not fun. But atleast I got a little bit successful because I climbed over 2 meters which was impossible for me before.

Catapult

The easiest activity that required the less movement! I got

to learn how to tie ropes which was a huge accomplishment

until than. Me and my group had to make the defense

machine out of bamboo, strings and a bucket for throwing

water balloons. In my thought, my group did the best. Best

part was throwing the water balloons at the girl who

volunteered to be the targets FOREVER.

FIRST AID

Another activity that required little movement but

lots of instructions. It was about different types of

medicine and their usages, helping someone and

identifying the cause of injury. I actually learned

something really important because if I had a first

aid with me I would’ve applied anything on

someone who was injured badly without any

knowledges.

Camping

Camp was located at the place where First Aid was taught. I really couldn’t see the point of camping if I had to walk a few kilometers and go back to the hotel the next day. I was ATTACKED by MOSQUITOES in the tent. After I woke up in the morning, they were as FAT as pigs which explained why they stopped attacking. I forgot. Jungwoo was screaming which was so hilarious that made the neighboring girls laugh.

The last activity I did was caving and it was the most

DIRTIEST experience I did. First off, I was greeted by sticky

mud in the entrance of the cave and I almost lost my

shoes. Luckily the mud wasn’t as spread as I thought so I

was safe. I didn’t see any bats which was a massive

disappointment since the priority of caving is bats. My

group(Jong Hyeok, Jong Chan, Bumsoo) were the first to

get out of the cave and man I was proud. But never talk

about caves in front of me.

Pan family house

We had to visit a family who lived in the same house since their

ancestors. We had to look around the house but mostly, it was

about drawing soundscape. The house was set high up where I

could listen and look at things. Even there, the environment was

BEAUTIFUL. Trees, not too much vehicles, clear clouds etc. All

the sounds I listened to were actually nature which was really

beautiful compared to the sounds in Shenzhen.

The most impossible task that happened in my whole life; teaching little kids. Much to the pleasure of the teachers, I SERIOUSLY know how teachers feel when they teach us and I’m so sorry TOT. The school seemed to be old fashioned because it looked like the kids in the first class are the smartest while the kids in the eighth class are not. Because my game group (Brian, Sean, Chantelle, Bumsoo, Jamison) took care of the first class, and my teaching group(Madyson, Jennifer, Sean, Brian, Chris, Roy, Vaneson) had the 3rd class, I can really prove to you why I think that but it’s a long story. The kids were also very curious of everybody and it was also very interesting to see them follow me everywhere I went so I had to sacrifice my watch for a few minutes.

School SERVICE!~!~

CONCLUSION

Overall, the trip was a satisfactory and I enjoyed it. It was also really

good to be away from my parents and experience 100% freedom. But

just like the book Lord of the Flies, things were getting a bit out of

hand and I’m really grateful the trip ended at Thursday. To be honest I

HATED caving but I really hoped caving was on Wednesday so I

wouldn’t have showered twice. Mostly I loved the nature so I’ll just let

whoever arranged this off the hook-_- except! BUGS are always part

of nature and they tend to get on you…easily.
