Day 1: Reflection by Nadiah and Vivien : Yang Zi River Bridge and President Palace

Day 1 reflection by Nadiah:
As today was the first day of the trip, I had a mixture of emotions. I was pretty excited of the experience that I would have gained from this trip. It was really an exciting first experience as the flight was different from what I usually take. The food was also different, and Nanjing's speciality is the Salted Duck. It's actually quite exciting that the Chinese have it for every SINGLE meal. WOW! However, it really is quite sad that I did not get to eat much from what I usually eat! So is the toilet though ;( The toilet....is really very different. The excursion was exciting and full of interesting experiences! The tour guide was really efficient in providing the knowledge of the history of China. The story of the bridge of Nanjing was really touching. This provided a learning platform for me as the people then was very patriotic, they sacrificed so much just for the reputation of China. One thing very unique in Nanjing is the painting in the crystal ball, it was really a piece of art. In conclusion, the first day in Nanjing was really a very good experience. Looking forward to the rest of the trip...

Day 1 reflection by Vivien:
南京之旅又好玩又有趣,可是在飞机上,有些人睡不着因为他们觉得太紧张. 落机的时候,我感觉到很冷因为在南京是秋天.首先,我们去博物馆多了解中国历史.我买了很多种不一样的礼物送给亲朋好友.今天我学到很多东西比如新加坡和中国有不一样的文化,不同食物,过马路的方法也不一样.我很期待遇到在中国的朋友,希望他们会有和我有相同的兴趣.我现在还在慢慢在中国适应.
我们参观了南京长江大桥,也名为争气桥,因为面对那么庞大的困难却不退缩,为中国人争了一口气这座大桥所有的资金是全世界的华人一起有钱出钱,有力出力.这座大桥也是当时世界上最长 的桥,长达 五公里左右.最后我们也参观了总统府.
