Today I wanted to go shopping before I was supposed to meet a few friends for lunch, but by the time I had woken up and showered it wouldn’t have been worth it so I am going tomorrow. I met Raena and Doreenda at 11am and we shared a taxi to Euro Plaza to go for lunch. While we were there we bumped into someone Raena knew who told us that there was a book fair on nearby so we decided to go there. We got a taxi but when we got there we were told that it was in a different location, 5 minutes drive down the road and the lady drew us a map. We got a different taxi and we followed the map to where this book fair was supposed to be but the building was closed, so we got the taxi driver to drive us round the block to see if there was another entrance, there wasn’t! We drove around for about 20 minutes before we got him to drop us off round the corner from where he picked us up, I think we really confused him!
By this point it was 2pm and Doreenda and I were meeting a few other people at the International school of Beijing which is one of the top private schools in Beijing. The facilities at this school were ridiculous! They have their own theatre, swimming pool, gym and amazing sports facilities. Doreenda and I were walking through the school (we had come through the entrance at the opposite side of the theatre) and kept pointing at things saying “look at that!” it was an amazing school, we were both so jealous that we didn’t work there!
We were at the school to watch “the wiz” a version of the wizard of oz performed by their middle school students. It was free and quite good, although there was a kid that kept kicking my chair the whole way through which was really annoying!
After the Wiz a few of us went to Pinnacle Plaza for a drink and chat, then I got some things for dinner and came home as I still feel really tired.
