Summer School Ghangzhou Mega City




Ghangzhou China



I left Yangshou on the 8th July and headed to Ghangzhou to stay with my friend Nichol and help her for a week at a Summer School. It’s great being in a city for a change it’s so much different than Yangshuo cinemas, metro and expensive western food. Ghangzhou is renown for markets where you can buy anything from food to electronic goods, great for export.

I spent 1 week helping at Summer School in an area outside Ghangzhou a very large school. The students are off school on summer holidays at moment so they hold summer camp to teach English, there was 30 students in our group who sleep at school and get entertained from 0800 to 2100. Mainly we would play games and songs trying to teach english which is quite differcult as the ages range from 6- 15 but still good fun.

One day we had a day trip and went round the park and museums. The museums were small but the items they had were amazing from the Qing, Jing dynasty. Pottery and jewellery only found in the 70’s and loads of pottery from and artifacts from BC.

3 more days to go speak when I get to New Zealand
