A Bridge to Chinese

Just another weblog about China and Chinese

Obliviously, it is a little bit tired to organize the programme in Hangzhou for me. so  I have only a few time to tell you in brief about the three days in Hangzhou.

Sunday, 12 July 2009

Since the Train K351 should be to Hangzhou in 20h12, but it is arrived at Hangzhou East Station at 20h55, so it spend me waited for more than one hour. Since Wei had caught a bad cold, so the group is led by Carole ZHU.

Then we took a minibus and a taxi to Jian She Hotel, No. 222 Bao Shu Road. Then we went out for a meal. and I went back home at 23h20, it took only 11 minutes by taxi.

Monday, 13 July 2009

I got up earlier and I took a taxi before 8h00, but when I arrived at Hotel, it 30 minutes later

So, after that, I have no right to criticise their time in cafe and so on. they want cafe so much, and when we arrived about the campus zijingang, it cant find cafe, so I had to let the bus to go more northern to find a c.strait cafe in Sandun.

So, when we got to Zhejiang University ( www.zju.edu.cn ), it’s about 10h20, after a girl student made a brief introduction about the history of Zhejiang University in  Historical archive museum, when we arrived at  library it’s already 11h20, only 9 munities left. for in summer vacation, the library closed at 11h30. Thanks for our Alumni Association, so we had the chance to have a visit.

As said in 10h30 or 11h00 begin the Meeting with students from Zhejiang University, Yuquan Campus. Actually, when we arrived there, it is already 12h20, for a student from shanghai is waiting in the school gate, he don’t know how to get it. so it take all of us more 20 minutes used.

Since that, I have already ask Wenjing who in charge the conference in Yuquan Campus to change the place from Zheda Wangshi to Dinner room.

Fortunately, all the Chinese students organized by SinoFrance and Hangzhou Alumni Association, and guest are so happy to meet each other, discus many things, share the opinions and have a great lunch.

In 15h00, we are visiting  Lingyin Temple ( www.lingyinsi.org ), thanks for Master Jieqing and Dangcang, we had the chance to go into the temple directly without paid ( I just asked my friends in tourist agency, even TA, there’s no discount for the tickets, let along free entrance and dinner in temple).

By my suggestion, Wei had asked students to prepare 35 questions about Buddhism, then have dinner with master in temple.

after that, I suggest them to have a look at West Lake, it is in the day but not so hot as in the afternoon, but they insist to go back to Hotel, so when the back again, it was 19h40. By experience, I had already prepared the tickets. Or, it‘s a great pity.

From 19:50 to 21:00, Evening Lake Show – West Lake Impression ( www.hzyxxh.com ), and I back home.

The second day.

After they went to Shanghai, I went to buy some silk gift for them. Because they gave the fee for 4 meals in Hangzhou. Exclude transportation fee e.g. taxi, and prepare some gifts for those friends who did a lot of things for us. I found it is a little bit plus.

the gift is.

for students, every boy will get a Traditional Chinese garments tang suit, they are made by Artificial genie silk, flax. And every girl will get a pajamas and a scarf made by artificial genie silk. if you, as a tourist to buy silk articles, it cost at least 200rmb per article.

I can’t buy nature genie silk, because it is very expensive, at least 2000rmb per article. if you want buy something made by nature silk, if you can afford it, you can contact me

for Wei, Pierre, Joy and Carole, I prepared limited edition imaginote that made by my friends Dandes and TV. Yang.  and I will EMS them to Wei, when Wei tell me his address.
