This moment came, everyone had prepared nothing for few days because of the changing of the plan and just watched a demonstration by my teacher before going. The way to the primary school was short, we just spent about 10 minutes to arrive there. The primary that we went was Tea Tree Primary School. The kids there were lovely. The most unforgettable one was a year 7 student, he is very tall, even higher than Terry, that dose not make any sense, but unfortunately I could not take any photo. Everyone had a great time in the primary school and the kids were really lovely.
Today, everyone has attended some classes of our buddies. The onew I attended was an English lesson because my buddy is Issac. The lesson was quite fun but unfortunately I could not take any photo. After that, we had a few time to prepare the upcoming primary school visit. Ms Leung had prepared about 500 redpacks to for us, but that was not enough for the original plan, so we changed our plan of making a star-shape latern instead of a fish lantern. Anyway, everyone was excited before visiting the primary school.
After the soccer game of Braydon, we went to Tanundo, where is a countryside. Tanundo is a beautiful place, it is the most famous origin of wine. People can buy any wine they want right here, no matter the kinds, the years, you name it. We had german roll right here as lunch. People can spend 35 Australian dollars to get on a helicopter and fly around Tanundo for about 25 minutes. But it is unfortunate that I can't do that because I am still underage. Anyway, the view of Tanundo was excellent. And I found a pretty interesting road sign, you can see through the photos.
Today is a normal morning with my host family, which means that I went to see Braydon's soccer training at 8:30 with my host parent. Actually, that was not a training, that was a normal game against another soccer club, but it is unfortunate that I can't remember what club that was. The soccer game was held on a grass field, but there is no such great field for soccer for just a small game to use in Hong Kong. It is glad that Braydon had got a goal for his team, and he won because of this beautiful kick. There is also a take-away food shop nearby the field, what a perfect venue for soccer! I saw an awesome car also!
After the soccer lesson from Mr. Jones, we attended Ms. Garrett's year 9 art class. Ms. Garrett taught us and her class about how to make a simple paper frog. Everyone made a frog for his or herself with the aid of the Banksia students. After the art lesson, we joined Mr Courche's year 11 and year 12 information technology class. We were taught to use Maya 2015, which is a software for 3D works. Everyone made different stuffs like apples, houses. Sai, who is one of the year 11 student, helped me to create a globe, and that was really beautiful!!
In Hong Kong, we have physical education, but it just stands for physical education. In Banksia Park International High School, students have individual lessons for soccer, football, table tennis, etc. Today, we attended Mr.Jones' year 9 soccer lesson. The students were helpful, they would help us to be in of the lesson. We did matches during the lesson, my team won all of the matches of us!! We had so much fun during the lesson, before ending the lesson, we took photos altogether. If I can, I would join their football and table tennis lesson, I am sure that there will be so much fun if I can.
Today, I went to the Tea Tree Gully shopping plaza at the day time. The first look of the shopping plaza was interesting! There are so many types of shops, like Games World for toys, Sakura for take-away Japanese food, Students Flights for travels, etc. There are so many supermarkets, such as Target, Kmart, Coles, etc. Supermarkets sell lots of different stuff like clothes and toys. For the prices, stuff in Australia’s prices are quite different with Hong Kong’s. Clothes, toys, vegetables and shoes are so crazy cheap, I can buy 1 kg of carrot by 1 Australia dollar only! But so much stuff in Australia are more expensive than Hong Kong, for example, take-away food is generally more expensive than Hong Kong like we can buy an instant fruit box in Hong Kong by 12 Hong Kong Dollars, but we need 3.8 Australia dollars in Australia! To sum up, shopping malls in Australia are quite different with Hong Kong shopping malls.
After watching the dolphins, I went to the beach nearby with my homestay family. There is a ice-skating house and some of other students were ice-skating there when we just arrived. It is lucky that there was an ice-skating show. The showers were fantastic that they did lots of difficult movements. After the show, we walked to the beach, it was such a good view and the buildings nearby are very beautiful. Then, I played soccer with my homestay family there even it was really hard to run and walk, but we actually had a lot of fun and took many fantastic photos.
I was really excited for the dolphins before getting on the boat because I had never seen any dolphin before, and I had never expected the I would see the first dolphin in Australia. On the Pier, there is a old red light tower, but it is unfortunate that the tower was closed at that time, so I could not get in and have a look. Anyway, I had grilled fish, chips and salad for the lunch on the boat because we just went there by 11:30. Then we saw groups of dolphins and few ships, but it is bad that I could not catch any photo of dolphins because they move so fast. And I saw lots of jelly fish also, that was beautiful! Anyway, I like this trip very much because I have saw something that I had never seen.
I went to the China Town tonight. The China Town is in the central of the city, I went there by half an hour. Definitely, there are so many asians working in the China Town and do lots of things right there, they mainly came from the mainland China and a bit of them came from Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore. I am really impressed by the China Town because there are many types of stores and stuffs there. For example, I could see so many instant food from Hong Kong. Nearby the China Town, there is a market called central market. The market sells fresh food. Stuffs there are cheap also! You can see some examples of the prices of stuffs.
