8 days Wushu Immersion Programme to Xiamen- Anders Koh Hong Kai (4A)

《中国厦门武术交流与学习之旅 》

五月二十七日，我带着兴高采烈的心情去机场。我们要在机场集合的时间是6点10分。我比大家来得早，因为我迫不及待要搭飞机去厦门。接下来的8天我们将要进行中国厦门武术交流与学习之旅。

我们一到厦门，就有一辆巴士带我们到集美大学里的集大宾馆。老师们分配房间给我们。老师们给了我们一点时间去房间放下我们的行李。我们放下了行李后，就走去了市场。我买了一杯杯面，可是我的搭档没有买任何东西。每个人都买了他们要的东西，我们就回去集大宾馆吃晚餐。

四天半的武术训练是从五月二十八日到六月一日。我最喜欢的一天是星期四，五月三十一日，因为我可以看到我的家人。他们来集大宾馆探望我， 也买了麦当劳和饮料给我们吃。我真得很想念他们，所以我看到他们的时候，心里乐开了花。

星期五和星期六，我们可以到厦门的旅游景点例如 ； 陈嘉庚纪念馆、鳌园、华侨博物馆、南普陀寺、胡里山炮台、鼓浪屿和中山路。我最喜欢胡里山炮台，因为我可以看到古时候的炮台。武术训练虽然很辛苦可是我很喜欢，因为我可以学习很多东西。这次让我有机会到厦门玩，真开心！真希望可以跟爸爸和妈妈再来厦门。

8 days Wushu Immersion Programme to Xiamen

On 27^th May, we all met at the airport at 6.10am. I came the earliest as I was very excited to go to Xiamen, for the next 8 days we will commence the Wushu Immersion programme in Xiamen.

When we reached Xiamen, there was a bus to pick us up. The bus took us to Xiamen Jimei University Hotel. All of us were given rooms. Our teachers gave us some time to put our bags in the room. After we put our bags down, we walked to the supermarket. I bought one cup noodles while my partner, Ernesto, did not buy anything. After everyone finished buying everything that they wanted, we went back to the hotel to have our dinner.

The 4 ½ days of Wushu training started from 28^th May to 1^st June. My favourite day of the 8 days is Thursday, 31^st May, as I could see my family! They came to visit me at the hotel and also bought Macdonalds for all of us to eat. They also brought some drinks for all of us. I missed them a lot so when I saw them, I felt very happy.

On Friday and Saturday, we finally got a chance to visist Xiamen’s places of Interest, such as Memorial Hall of Tan Kah Kee, Turtle Garden, China Overseas Musuem, Nanputuo Temple, Hulishan Canon platform, Gulang Island and Zhongshan Road. I like Hulishan Canon platform the most because I get to see the old fort and many ancient cannons.

The training is tiring but I enjoyed it because we can learn a lot from the teachsers. It is an eye opener for me to see Xiamen and learn Wushu especially the Eagle stance. I wish we could have stayed for another one or two days more.
