Back to Beijing #2!

Beijing again! This time there was no lush greenery, not even a leaf of green on either side of the Great Wall.  Because it was winter! But I went for a different reason other than tourism. Not for a business trip, but for the Fobissea Music Festival. Each year a different school hosts, this year it was The British School of Beijing. Mainly, the focus was on music, as on one night each school had to perform, or on the other night there would be a Chinese music concert, showing the different instruments they play to us. There was a Gala Concert(The final concert in which all the songs and preparations lead up to this big night at the end) a Gala Dinner and then a Disco. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely, taking an independent trip with our teachers. The only tourism places we went to were the Great Wall and the Forbidden city, and as always the Great Wall had a breathtaking view. Will post some pics and vids to go with this article……. The picture above is all of us dressed in our concert outfits. Looking Smart!!

Back to Beijing!

Ever Been to a place that's NOT with your Mum and Dad when you were 9? Well I have! Its Beijing!

I went there for 5 days with my class for an Educational Visit but it was actually a vacation to us. All of us were with a partner in one hotel room, and we experienced Chinese food and Lifestyle!

On the first day we visited a local Chinese school and then went to the Birds nest. We were very tired on the 2nd day because we went to the Great wall of china. The Third day was taken up with the tourist attractions(Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square) and we went to see the hutongs- which are 9 metre wide alley ways that are a very important with the local Chinese. Some of them have been burnt down. Anyway, on the 4th day we went to see the Summer palace and spent time sketching and exploring. The 5 and very last day we went to see The Temple of Heaven.

I reccomend Beijing as a place to learn for KIDS.

If you ever go there or want to go there please comment so I can tell you all more. Thanks for Reading:)!
