just kidding.

This entire experience has been extremely rewarding in the same way that Jessica had predicted in the beginning. However, I didn't expect it to be so much fun. I really got a chance to see things from their perspective and get a sense of the environment these children were brought up in. This environment must have been spectacular, for it has produced outstanding results. These kids have been a joy to teach; I remember when, on the first day, students started taking notes right as we began writing on the board. Not many elementary students are that studious in America. You guys have provided such amusement to us, as temporary teachers and as permanent friends. I finally found my QQ number so I'll definitely try to add everyone who gave me theirs! Maybe one day some of you may grow up and visit us overseas. This encounter has been an educational opportuni

The cheap plastic fan whirring brings a sense of bliss, and grass bracelets are priceless compared to glittering diamonds.

Only half an hour before the clock strikes midnight and the storyteller does her deed.
Bid farewell to Chengdu and hopped onto the bus to Du Jiang Yan.

Today was my second day in ChengDu, and my group's destination today is a school for disabled children. At first I was anxious about this volunteer activity, not sure about whether I can successfully work with the disabled children. When I walked into the classroom, I saw kids ranging from the age of three to nine. There were toys and equipments lying on the ground, all well organized and nicely kept. Still, I was unsure of what's going to happen.

I worked in the parents-allowed playground classroom most of the time. There were kids with brain paralysis, down syndrome, and autism. Depending on their conditions, they had different activities to do that were well suited for them. At first sight, I was overwhelmed by all the activities that were going on. But eventually, after observing for a while, I was able to catch on with the situation and learn what each kid needed help with and correctly supervise them.

This opportunity to volunteer in a

June 25th could've been considered the mirror image of June 24th--had it not been under different circumstances. 

1) Reach the bus: Been there, done that!

2) Cross the streets and make it to the autism center: as veterans, we accomplished that in minimum time, maximum efficiency, coolly striding across all while nonchalantly talking in English.

3) Hang out with the autistic kids: This is

'Add oil!' is a saying the volunteers of China Way found themselves hollering until their throats ached as they cheered on children at the autism center.

Today marked June 24th to the anticipating calendar and the 1st day of setting foot into the bustling city of Szechuan teeming with diverse characters. Today, we were Pioneers exploring the nuances of an unique culture and the humans of Szechuan.

Our schedule began with rarely-ever-seen routines such as boarding a public bus and traversing chaotic streets. Although we experienced little mishaps such as losing our way after 15 minutes, we were able to spend more time marveling--or in multiple cases, ranting-about the spirit o

在完成最难的第六和第七步后，剩下的两步已变得简单无比。我们只需要将图片缓存从而达到节省流量的效果便行。其实我们的应用程序在第七步后便已经完成，剩下两步只是近一步完善这个程序罢了。大多数同学都在下课之前将这两步完成了。至此我们的编程小组的实训终于在此告了一段落。明天下午我们将会去小镇上购买一些纪念品。后天我们还有一个告别晚会。对此我们编程小组只能说：表演神马的都教给其它组员了！毕竟我们是宅男嘛。

接下来是一些编程组，教学组和学校的一些照片。
