Day8
Today started off well, it was a " day off " for many of us. Thursday was a long day and many of us were looking forward to a learning journey with ourselves ( HIHS ) . Today was a fantastic day. Not only did we gained knowledge , freedom, and enjoyment, there was much pleasure and at the same time a sense of pity. We started our day at 9am, pretty late but it allowed us, students to have more rest, to be frank, we were all excited and re-energised by the long hours of rest. We went to the Nanjing Death Massacre , it was a quiet moment for all of us , most of us looked forward most to this activity , it bears a really huge history behind Nanjing. Just like how the Japanese had invaded Singapore , the Japanese treated the chinese here in nanjing with no respect , and kicked around like a ball. It was a pitiable journey and many of us took glances at corpses , although it may seem disturbing at first, but the thought that these people had died for nothing ran through our minds, it made us feel a sense of a guilt, though it was not our fault, though we were not their family members or akin to them, we could feel their pain, and the sufferings they had. Today's learning journey to the massacre was indeed a historical yet educating journey. I can confidently say the very main purpose of this twinning trip has been accomplished, not only have we gone through the classes , experienced their lifestyle, experienced their food , experienced the way of life here in Nanjing, but at the same time , we have also learnt the history of a 2500year old country. Nanjing is a very big country, and it bears a lot of history , thankfully we had many opportunities to learn more on it. Other than that we went on journeys to shop , a break from schools and classes . I still have to say that its a pity to see 300000 victims innocently killed , and women getting raped and taken off of their moral rights. It is an interesting history to be known and told of , something very different from singapore. In all i would like to say, that wars should be and can be avoided , no one should be innocently sacrificed for the sake of a war, treaties and many other ways can be used to avoid arguments and wars , i hope that in the future ahead , no more wars would be needed and governments to be able to settle it through treaties , i hope that in the coming 4days , we would have a pleasant journey and a safe flight back !
时光飞逝如电，时间就这样渐渐地过去。今天已经是第八天了。我们今天去了三个不同的地方。首先，我们去了南京大屠杀纪念馆。在那里，我学到了许许多多的历史。在里面时，我感到有些伤心，因为300000人无辜地死去。过后，我们去了狮子桥。在那里，我们逛了街和吃了大排档。我在大排档 吃得津津有味，因为那里的小吃很好吃。过后，我们就到玄武湖公园。那里的风景非常美而且空气也不错。虽然我没有机会坐船但我还是很高兴因为我却能散散步，享受新鲜空气。在走的时候，我没买什么但我学习到一样东西。那就是不要看到喜欢的东西就想买。当时间一到，我们就集合一起去吃晚餐了。我觉得今天非常好玩。总而言之，我非常期待明天的到来！:)
