Wong Jit Nung 黄捷农:
My host family brought me to 2 different gardens. One that greatly impressed me was the 长风公园. Inside it is full of trees, colourful flowers, and most importantly, the fresh air. The is also a huge river for tourists to come and play. Later, we decided to book a boat, which requires arm strength to pedal. It was my first time so I treasure every wonderful moment on the boat. It wasn't quite steady, so we wore our floats, taking the advice of the boat renter. I paid a high price for such beautiful moments--- as i got out from the boat, my camera dropped and fell into the water :-{

Alson Poh Soon Peng 傅顺平:
今天和同伴的家人出去。我们去了三个地方, 就是金安小区，城
隍庙和外滩。我最喜欢外滩。到了晚上，风景很美。灯闪闪
发亮的。要离开时，真是让我依依不舍。

Kiang Qing Yi 江庆仪:
Firstly, we went to the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. It was really beautiful. The tunnel had lots of lights. It was like jumping into another world. Secondly, we went to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. It is 468m high. The second ball is 267m high, i think. But it was a pity we couldn't see the scenery as the clouds were low that day. Thirdly, we went to 新世界.

Timothy Chan Zhi Xin 陈智信:
We went to Oriental Pearl TV Tower. It was very scary as the lift went up 3-5 storeys / sec. There was a slight pressure in my ear, the scenery was AMAZING.

Benjamin Wong 黄义凯:
I went to Nanjing Road 南京路. It is very crowded and
There is a lot of things to see and buy.

Gerald See-Toh 司徒杰衡：

Today, I went to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium and Shanghai Science & Technology Museum. The Museum has 12 galleries. It is very different from Singapore as Singapore's land is smaller and cannot build too many things. I think if there is still land in S'pore, the government should build a bigger museum to educate the younger generations.

I am very grateful to my buddy's parents. Thay have taken care of me for 8 days and they didn't mind. I guess this is the best period of my education journey. I hope this trip will greatly improve my interest in Chinese.

Shermeen Lee李彦蓉：

It was soooo fun today! Huijun and I and our buddies brought us out to play and shop. We went to take neo-prints and bought many delicious stuff. In the early afternoon, Huijun's buddy' s uncles and aunties and mother came to bring us to eat more delicious stuff. There were many things in Shanghai that we never ate before, so as we walked on, we ate. Some food taste nice and some taste weird. After a long and fun day, we went home.
