We were all pretty eager to meet with the students of Peking University (PKU), which is one of the top universities in China. We had the oppurtunity to be hosted by the students of the Guanghua School of Management. All our hosts were from the Business Asia club.
The photo below was our discussion group. But Jimmy is missing! We discussed about the property bubble in China, Chinese culture, typical Chinese stereotypes, life as PKU students, where do Chinese youths hang out on weekends and everything else under the sun!
This is Xiao Qiang. We have the same birthday!
Same year. Same month. Same day.
But, different time!
PKU is blessed with an incredibly beautiful campus. It is also huge! To a point where most students need a bicycle to travel around campus. One of the students told us then when winter fully kicks in, the lake will turn into ice, and everyone will use it as an ice skating rink!
They also have a variety of restaurants around campus, and we spent lunch with the Chinese students while we exchanged more laughter and stories.
After we said our goodbyes to the PKU students, we headed to Beijing Chaoyang theatre in the evening. It was built in 1984 and specializes in the art of Chinese acrobatics and was chosen as one of the best Chinese cultural centres in 2001.
The men that jumped through the hoops was so entertaining!
The girls on bicycle was very impressive!
They also had a globe where some motorcyclists went in and drove around in circles. It was an interesting twist to the general performance.
The entire cast.
Like, any other weeked, Andy suggested another way to unwind. Next to our KTV club, we went to play pool. However, we left early because some of us had plans to climb the great wall the next day!
