This is a photo of Dinah and Polly, two of our new chinese friends, taken at their high school on our last day in Guangzhou. I thought i’d share with you an email i received from Polly today – it was a lovely surprise and great to be reminded that our connections with China will last beyond our time there.

”Sorry that I send you this E-mail one week after we say farewell because I’m having a mid-term exam last week. This week I’m a little busy too because I’m going to have a competition called NOIP. Maybe NOIP is short for National Olympics Imformatic P….. Well,I don’t know what the P is for. But I guess it may be a word means competition;) In the competition, we will write programmes on the computer. Do the students in the UK play this? There is also a competition called IOI. The first I is short for International. We who take part in this area are often called OIers. Well, maybe it’s Chinglish
. After the competition ends this Saturday, I will tell you something about it. If I get the first grade prize,I can go into the university without entrance exam!That’s so fantastic! I hope I can get it. We will know the result in the afternoon of the Saturday. Oh, I’m a little nervous now. But I believe that I can get it~:)
By the way,after we say goodbye have you found the medicine you were finding? I am a little curious because I can’t, for some unknown reasons, get on the PlanC’s blog.
Please write me soon;). Polly.”
HI HI, I am mexican and I liked your blog
Hi, thanks for letting us know you’ve enjoyed reading about our travels.
We’re losing our blogging momentum now that we’re back – so much to do back here and so little time ;o)
Hi – it’s great to hear you like our blog! I had a look at yours, but my Spanish is not good so I just enjoyed the pictures and video clips. You might also like to take a look at one of our websites – ChewTV – it is an online TV station by young people for young people. http://www.chewtv.com/
Was glad that I would like to know how many people respond write this blog?
And where are you?
Ah and my English is not very good jeje
We are from Bristol in England. Our city has a special sister city relationship with Guangzhou in China.
A few people have been looking at our blog, but mostly they are friends and family. However, not so much since we have returned!
Hi,
I’m in US right now, and I was so exited to see my school uniform on that pic. :]
I grew up in Guangzhou, China and studied in the same school as Polly
