Today
is the 30th of October. We travelled three hours to
sight-see a 700 years old building, in Hakka village, built in the
1300s. It survived three earthquakes and the building heals its own
cracks as a result of the flexibility of bamboo shoots, used as
foundation. It was inspiring to see the Chinese preserving and
embracing their history and culture. Besides visiting Hakka village,
it was also my birthday today. The teachers and my mother prepared a
cake and surprised me after dinner. It also came with a cute golden
crown I gave to Sze Ting. I felt touched and appreciated in that
moment. I would like to thank the teachers for the wonderful
surprise. It's one birthday I won't forgot.

Today
together with my schoolmates,we travelled 6 hours back and forth from
Xiamen City to the Hakka Village.We spent 3 hours there and saw many
eye opening structures that despite the hours long journey i had
learned that one of the Hakka Earth Buildings is 700 years old built
in the early 1300s.An interesting fact is that it is even older than
the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It was definitely an experience I
will not forget. In conclusion, having been here makes me realise how
lucky i was to be in an UNESCO,World Cultural Heritage site.
