Another sunny day here in Fujian, Fuzhou where we attended the opening ceremony of Chinese Bridge Autumn Camp wearing our ravishing Filipinianas on our 3rd day of stay in Zhongguo.
There are times on where I'm just too lazy to check the weather on my iPad because it's too bothersome on my part to connect using VPN just to utilize the internet. Seriously, it takes ages before I'm connected into it. That's why the first thing that I do in the morning is to check the weather by looking outside through my window and to see on what people are wearing. That's how I mainly base my outfits. This is definitely one of the serene streets that I've seen in China; it's not crowded and rowdy.
Speaking of internet, social medias are banned in China because of their online censorship policies to retain their social stability. This will not only help to stop the inappropriate materials on the internet to be exposed but also helps to stop spreading false rumors which are very infamous all over the world. I would like to extend my gratitude to whomever created the VPN. Tada! Here comes VPN to the rescue! *victory dance* A virtual private network redirects internet traffic via using an external server that aids to keep the history private. In this way, savvy internet users are able to detour the firewall and foreign websites. In short, you should download VPN to enable yourself in using social medias when you're in China or other countries as well. Surfeasy and Betternet is the best option for VPN.

This is one of the conference room in Fujian Normal University. Representatives and speakers of the said university welcomed the Filipinos wholeheartedly while they encourage us to explore the real rich culture and tradition of China.

When we were crossing the street going to our university, people can't help but to pause for a while and look at us wondering on why we wear these unique looking dresses. We enjoyed the attention though.
After we all had our activities, we went straight ahead to the dorm and were told to come back at the lobby by 2 pm to take our first day of Mandarin Class. We, then met Chen lăoshī, who is our teacher in Mandarin. He has been to Philippines several times that made us easier to connect with each other. Plus, his English was surprisingly good too! We miss your class Chen lăoshī!
Ending this post with a random picture of FJ who's chilling in his room. Other rooms also look like this except that my roommate and I did not have shelves in our room. Trust me, after several days of staying in the dorm without any janitors, everything became topsy turvy. (Excluding our room of course!)
Odaiji ni,
Au revoir!
