The 5^th week and 5th day, there were no lessons conducted so our group continued our research for our IS project. We spent hours on the computer in the afternoon but we decided to take a break. However, Doyle came into our room in a hurry to ask us to go to the dancing block to have a meeting with one of the local teachers. Next, most of us turned up for it and the teacher was there waiting for us.

 We sat down and started talking, he raised up certain questions like our stay here, the local students behavior and China’s overall.

 Also, we also told him about the lack of water supply at our dorms. He replied that this couldn’t really be helped because he knew that we were from a highly developed country and stayed in a developing country. Moreover, he told us to be prepared for the worst and must not have high expectations even if one fine day that we might work here in China or other countries. 

We also discussed on how to improve the time table so as to avoid crowds during weekends when we visited the tourist attractions like E’Mei Mountain and Du Jiang Yan. 

It was tough also because we do not wish to study on Sundays when our teachers rearranged it.

After the meeting, we continued doing our project and our dinner was BBQ food outside school. It tasted so good, the mushrooms, pork, chicken and beef yet still reasonably priced.
