After checking out of the hotel in Tianjin, we made our way back to Beijing by bus. The journey took roughly one and a half hour.
We visited Beijing Union University which specialises in Tourism and we were grouped with the students there as buddies again. This time round, the interaction time is longer as we had lunch together in their school canteen. It was a great experience to try their local school's food.
We then visited former residence of MeiLanFang together with our buddies. MeiLanFang was the best known Beijing Opera master and founder of one of the three greatest acting methods created by Shakesphere Stanislavsky and MeiLanFang.
Next we proceeded to the Hutongs with our buddies and enjoyed a ride on rickshaws. The riders were kind of racing with one another and it was so cool. We were brought to a person's house, taught how to make dumplings and we eventually got to try the dumplings made by us personally. I think they played really great hosts to the guests.
Dinner was at a hotel and it was a significant night for all of us as it was the last dinner that the whole GC was having together as a whole. The cool tutors got us wines to "compensate" us for missing the chance of wine-tasting session at the Dynasty Winery. *Yum Seng!
Our last night event was free and easy at Houhai pub area. It resembles Singapore's Clarke Quay area and some students got drunk!
