On May5th 2018, the Foreigner Trip was held successfully!

Students from all around the world got together, preparing good mood for a marvelous trip, which was elaborated specially for foreigners in International School. In order to know each other better, the members from OSD willingly divided us into six different groups. Before a series of activities, group members offer to introduce themselves.

The first spot we reached was the Xiaozhou village in Guangzhou. The antique buildings in this area are of great beauty. Various special food such as Chinese Pudding and Ginger Milk Curd could be seen in alley. With birds singing songs happily, we delightedly crossed the avenue. We found a special Chinese restaurant to learn the Chinese dumpling making.

To learn how to make dumplings, everyone pick up a piece of dough, tried to follow after the owner of the coffee shop and put a spoon of meat into the dough.When successfully making the cute dumpling, we couldn’t help smiling to each other. To record this moment, students offered to take photos. A sense of achievement was more than happy!

The sun was gradually down, we were about to leave Xiaozhou village to the Pearl River. We would have a wonderful ferry trip there. The night was fantastic and the people were quite pretty. The lights streamed down the river and got mixed together. The shadow of the moon was purely clean and white! We had it all in a cool ferry, where all the scenery could be seen very well. With the ferry traveling steadily, the Canton Towel, Liede Bridge were coming into our eyes. Undoubtedly, it left deep impression for all the students on boat. By appreciating the gorgeous scene, we felt a sense of peace in our heart.

After getting off, we put an good end for the wonderful trip. Thanks to OSD and all the members’ joint efforts that Foreigner Trip could have a big success! By taking part in this activity, students gradually know each other better. Moreover, we learned how to share with others and how to take good care of others.
