Day 4

We woke up exceptionally early today to get ready for our train ride to Tianjin. The Beijing–Tianjin Intercity Railway is a high-speed railway service that travels at the maximum speed of 350km/h. We spent 25 minutes to travel from Beijing to Tianjin. That was really fast!!! The train station is almost like the Beijing International Airport! Thumbs up for the railway service!





When we arrived at Tianjin, we went directly to the Tianjin Italy Custom Area. The street was filled with many cafes that serve different Italian specialties. It felt like we were in ‘mini’ Italy. Guess what? We saw 3 couples taking bridal photos for their big day!  Check us out in one of the photographs!




We are in Italy!

Our next stop was the Ancient Cultural Street and Food Mall. The cultural street has very special architectural styles especially the Tian Hou Temple. We also had the opportunity to buy various folk crafts and sample the delicious local Tianjin snacks like the Guo Bu Li buns. The buns tasted like Xiao Long Bun, just that they were not as juicy as the Xiao Long Baos. We had an early dinner and were back in the hotel at about 8pm to catch some rest before our visit tomorrow at Tianjin Primary School!!!

    Dear girls,

    Don't forget to stay hydrated, as the air is very dry! Also, you're very active, which means that even though you may not be sweating as much because of the cold, you will still be losing water. Don't forget to drink whenever you can and to bring your bottles wherever you go. Don't forget your fruits and vitamins either!

    Take care and have fun. Because you can't have fun if you fall ill! ♥

    Dear teachers and girls

    It's so interesting to view those videos where you have visited so far. Travelling from Beijing to Tianjing, it seems like a fun experience as you take the bullet train and move into "mini Italy".

    I see many smiling faces and am glad to know that you are enjoying yourselves in the midst of learning the Chinese culture in such a fun way.

    Take care and continue to have fun as you embark on the last few days of your trip. God bless you and may you continue to have a safe journey on your way back to Beijing.

    Love from: Megan's mummy, Cindy Fok.
    PS: We all miss you very much, especially Maurice. Glad to see that you are enjoying yourself!
