This morning we went to school as usual by school bus. I met my buddies and had geography lesson with Ashumi. The teacher was very interesting and although she was teaching the things we had covered last year, some of the terms were different and I learned some new concepts. After geography lesson, we had a little bit of cookery, then went to join another class for social studies lesson. They taught us about the languages in India and how they were formed. They also taught us a few conversational phrases and we all enjoyed that very much. Then we had to teach the class about Chinese and some sentences in Cantonese. It was very fun and enriching.
After the lessons we boarded the bus to visit Mani Bhavan, the place Gandhi lived in while he resided in Mumbai. It was a very interesting place as it displayed quite a few of Gandhi's letters and the things he used when he was alive, and also a miniature doll display that illustrated the main events that happened in his life. I had surely understood a lot more about the important figure to the world and India's fight for freedom and peace, and learnt more about his philosophy and values.
In the afternoon we had a speech and drama workshop. The teacher was very inspiring and the session was extremely fun and enjoyable. We did some fun warm-up exercises then split in groups to create a commercial advertisement for an imaginary product. We all loved the session very much.
After school, we went to another host's house for English tuition, then went to the bookshop Crossword for some really cheap books :) For dinner, we went to an Indian restaurant for naan bread, which I love. The day was very fruitful and fun, I enjoyed it very much. Time flies so fast, and I can't believe there's only 3 days left of our time in Mumbai! :(
