A visit to a Middle School (参观中学)

We visited a middle school in Jinan yesterday. Class size is 70! The school is linked to Shandong University and is twinned with many schools internationally.  We talked to the children about the UK, and our home universities. They were very impressed with the  photos of the Ziggurats at UEA, and did not believe they were dorms at first. The children told me I looked like Harry Potter, a comment that was reoccurring during my time in China.

The School Website had an article that can be found here translated or here in Chinese .

First visit abroad, a visit to China. 第一次出国，对中国进行访问.

During my Easter break I travelled to the city of Jinan(济南) in Shandong province China. I went with the Study China Programme organised by the University of Manchester. I studied Chinese at Shandong University (山东大学）this allowed me to continue my Chinese language (汉语） studies stopped when I started university. I will write more on the blog about this later.
