We headed out and they surprised me with birthday cake in the middle of a bar and had organised music such as 'Celebrate good times come on!' to be played, it was such a good night and really made my 21st special!

I felt a sense of excitement once I had finished, that all the hard work is over and for travelling around China next week!

I have been put in charge of the itinery for everything so I have been hard at work this week, also doing my presentation for Monday, my evaluation, and my report on the experience. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As usual Jasmine didn't meet us on time so we were waiting around for a bit, we seemed to have been given the task of entertaining a little girl called cheechee. She was absolutely mental and would not keep still for one second! Her mum and dad looked completely shattered so we felt good for taking her off their hands for a little bit!</span></div>

There is always lots of introductions before every show, we heard our names which were our call to stand up for everyone to look at! Then it was the show...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So on Thursday and Friday I was at the
company, my sample top had been made with temporary fabric. Lindsay wasn't sure
yet whether the fabric would be swapped for a flower pattern but this was more
expensive so she was still deciding. I had also designed lodes more
trousers to match with the top and she chose a pair, then I went and chose
fabrics. For lunch on Friday I got taken to the same restaurant as last week,
saw a lot of dodgy looking things as I walked in.. luckily the snake in the jar
wasn’t for me! For tea me, Emma, Caroline and Kate were starved so we nipped to
the little restaurant near us and found a new yummy dish… Very similar to sweet
and sour chicken at home.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On a very sunny Saturday we travelled to an ancient town called Shaoxing. The schools fashion show would take place on the Sunday for the students work, so Jasmine had organised a hotel for us on the Saturday night. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We went to look at the fabric markets through the day, I found my perfect fabric shop!! I wanted to buy everything in there, but allowed myself 3 different ones and got given lots of samples. It was so well priced compared to England... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">For tea we were taken to a restaurant with everyone, there was lots of new things to try but they still ordered our favourite beef! In the taxi earlier in the day we were told about a bar very near to our hotel so we decided to take a look. At first we were put off by the fact it said S&M on the sign in the doorway, but we were told it was not a strip club, after a while of umming and arrring we decided to take a look and see for ourselves. The man on the door ended up letting us in for free and inside it seemed like a good lively club, we were led to a table and were waited on hand and foot..... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We realised it was an S&M themed night when acts wearing bondage came onto the stage and started acting out promiscuous dance moves!! haha</span></div>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-35288936715506371342012-05-03T00:11:00.000-07:002012-05-03T00:11:38.324-07:00holidays are over<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Wednesday morning I got about enough sleep and then got up out of bed to plan my lesson for the day.. today it was oral English, I found the presentation from last time that I didn't have time to use... result!! I also had written lots of questions on pieces of paper and folded them to put in a bowl to ask everyone. I started off the lesson asking everyone about their 'May day' holiday. There wasn't as many people in the lesson as usual because of this holiday. They seem to be getting much better at speaking though, even if there is a few who decide to go all shy on me! Most had visited their family, but some had stayed here as their homes are too far away, one girl told me her family were fishermen so she went out on the boats and fished with her Dad. Another said she loved walking and had climbed a famous mountain near her home, and others said they had lovely food that they had missed while at college.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My presentation was about my own life at university, at first I told them about my first year and what living in halls of residence was like. Also about magazines I love and read for inspiration for my own work, and I showed them some of my work, styling shoots, a dress I made when I was learning to knit, and some different projects. I even showed them what freshers week was like because they have nothing like this here, they told me only 'bad girls' would go out like this in China. They said their culture was very different and it was interesting to see the contrast between them both. I showed some pictures of 'student nights' and organised events such as halloween, I don't think they could work out why I was dressed up as a 'zombie nurse'!! hahaha. Luckily I had 10 minutes left so I got my bowl full of folded pieces of paper and they took one at a time reading and answering questions such as, "describe what the person next to you is wearing".</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After this lesson I went to my office and waited to see what was going to happen with my lesson with the teachers. They seem less reliable than the students! A few ladies came including the lady from last time who will be visiting Southampton university in two weeks, she seemed to have practised what I had told her but still her speaking was very poor. I thought the most useful things to tell her were how to get on forms of transport, and very basic everyday things. It was hard because some ladies could speak very well and some had very low levels of English - hard to get the balance right. They seemed to think I was amazingly knowledgeable and know everything about England with the kinds of questions they were asking... this is obviously not true but I think (hope) I got away with it!!! Also previously they have learnt English from the London accent so my northern accent sometimes confuses them. Its so funny when you tell them a new word and they become really broad yorkshire!</span>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-13369947863728934632012-05-02T22:25:00.000-07:002012-05-06T19:46:20.983-07:00The Pearl<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Me, Laura, and Emma woke up early to go see the Oriental Pearl tower, so we would miss all the queuing. There was still a que but we ended up acting like the chinese do and walked to the front of the line. Everyone stared but we couldn't work out whether it was just because we were foreigners, or because we were pushing in front of them</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> all... never mind, maybe a bit of both?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When we got there the smog was covering the top, even so it was well worth going up! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The top levels were foggy and we couldn't see too much, but the level with the see-through floor was fine. </span></div>

I am a big scardycat though and think I made myself more scared than I should have before the ride.. it did take ages until they set off though as they were waiting for more people to come on the ride.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Afterwards we got a taxi to Yu Gardens, it was the most packed place we had been yet. All I could see was a sea of black hair! We didn't stay for too long as we were getting harassed by lodes of people, but decided to hoard our way through the crowds to get a photo on the bridge, It is May day for people here so there are zillions of chinese tourists.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We met up with Kate, Caroline and Tong Tong and decided to visit an area of Shanghai very similar to Lao Waitan in Ningbo. I think everyone wanted to chill for a bit as were very tired and feet were aching so coffee and cake were in order. The others seemed very tired and considered getting an earlier bus back to Ningbo, but me and Laura wanted to stay to see more. Tong Tong got the bus back with them as she was very tired too and we decided to visit the art gallery and fabric market. As we got in the taxi and travelled for a few minutes we noticed the Antiques market (DongTai Road) to our left, so we jumped out. I was shocked we hadn't considered going here earlier, we loved it!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So me and Caroline climbed out of our hovel early on Monday morning.. don't know how we did it after the night before! We have found a branch of bread shops called '85 degrees' or something very similar, they sell so many lovely cakes, breads, pizza etc. I grabbed a donut and we headed for a wander to peoples square, ladies were doing an early morning dance class in a big group, it was so sweet. </span></div>

He</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> obviously can't even pick up the money so someone is using him for this!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am told here begging is a business, if you have ever seen 'Slumdog Millionaire' I couldn't help thinking to the part where the little boys were blinded because they would get given more money for begging, things like this must happen here. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Its a tricky situation because if people didn't give them money they have no public services so what would they do? T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">hey also don't have a national health service so if you are poor you wouldn't get any help, many of the disfigurements may be from industrial injuries though.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A Shanghai evening - We went to Hooters for tea and I had spag boll!!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Sunday... we woke up nice and early after a few cocktails the night before and we were off! Markets, markets and more markets were the plan for today, and I did get a few cute bargains too. Wandering through 580 Nanjing west road there seemed some pretty good stuff, lots of fakes but good fakes at that. You've got to watch these people on the stalls though, at first they may seem sweet, but they can turn on you like the wind! Pearl market was a little crappy in comparison to the first, then visited a few department stores.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Later on we had some very yummy japanese food (teppanyaki) which was cooked in front of us. Jeremy is very good friends with Laura now so he came to Shanghai to see her and brought a few friends along to the restaurant. We also tried Japanese rice wine which were in little chinese shot glasses, there is a game where we all balance our chopsticks on top of our beer glasses and place the shot glass with the rice wine on top, everyone bangs the table until the shot lands in your beer and the first person to finish the drink is the winner.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Wow! I got back from Shanghai late last
night, got so much to tell.. it has been a whirlwind of crazy experiences, some
good and some not so good but all very eye-opening!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As I have said previously people over here
act very differently in certain circumstances, such as if there were a crime
being made in front of them they would just walk on by and mind their own
business. I think this is how they have been brought up – to think in a very
different state of mind (well very different to me anyway). The ‘right thing’
to do over here is very different to the ‘right thing’ to do in England.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It makes my tummy turn thinking back to
what we first witnessed when we arrived at the hotel on Saturday night. We checked in and went up
to the sixth floor in the lift, when we got out two men and a lady pushed passed
us to enter the lift. As soon as they were out of hearing distance, I commented
that the men seemed very aggressive (you know when you just get a bad feeling
about someone). We got into our rooms and found lodes of cards on the floor
with ladies pictures and telephone numbers – I felt like I was in a brothel! I
quickly chucked them and started unpacking in our very strong cigarette
smelling room. After a while we heard very angry tones of voices outside our
room, when we looked out a man was shouting at a woman and had chucked
everything out of her bag onto the floor. Don’t want to go into too much detail
but basically he took her into the room they were staying and we heard him
beating her, it was the most horrible thing I have ever heard and we all felt
so helpless. The guard came but he was the most hopeless, useless, weedy man and
seemed scared himself. Nothing could have been done. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think with all the amazing things we have
seen there will inevitably be the bad. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think it would be fair if I just wrote about the good
because life isn’t perfect, you have to see everything as a learning curve and
use it positively. Maybe be more aware of what is around you and try and do the
right thing. This kind of thing happens everywhere in the world but I guess it
is more accepted here – even though maybe the laws are set, the beliefs of the
people are different. In this country people are led to believe women should
look up to men, and sadly this even still happens in England, such as with jobs
and wages sexes earn.</span></span></div>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-38777863913905119932012-05-01T20:43:00.000-07:002012-05-06T05:04:59.342-07:00quick catch up on the company from last week!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So on Thursday I was at the company,
designing I the morning and in the afternoon sourcing fabrics for garments that
would be made as samples. This consisted of printing the design specifications
and copying as closely as possible with zips, buttons and fabrics putting
everything in a large envelopes. Then they are given to production, the pattern
is made, and then the sample garment is made and after any changes will be made
for the final piece. Later I met Caroline and Emma for tea, feeling that we
need to try new things we caused a bit of a kafuffle in the restaurant trying
to order noodles, in the end we had to ring someone who could speak Chinese to
the ladies!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Friday I was at the company again and one
of my vests was chosen to be made into a sample. I went into the fabric room
and cut quite a few pieces which I thought would suit my design </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I got taken out for lunch, six of us drove
to an area that I hadn’t been before and didn’t look very pleasant outside. We
entered a little restaurant and the first thing I saw was a dead dog!!!! It was
skinned and ready to be eaten… I was just happy that wasn’t on my plate! Before
you go to your table you have to pick what you want to eat from lot of plates
of food and then they cook it for you. The lady taking our order was cute
though, she insisted on a picture with me and apparently said we could have
money off our meal because I was beautiful… so sweet! I saw some chicken and
spring rolls which looked alright so I picked them and then we went to our
table. The food was actually pretty tasty. I tried some fried pumpkin, and they
actually had roast potatoes!! </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Angela asked if I fancied going to the hairdressers with her after work, she said where she went was the best in the area, emma and Caroline joined too. When we got there it looked like a really nice hairdressers, and it was packed. They took us to our seats and I decided to be daring and showed them some pictures of a blonde dip-dye that I have been thinking about for ages... The hairdressers were really caring though and even though it took ages they didn't rush, it took 5 hours and we were in their till 12pm! Emma's hair went from brown, to yellow, to orange, to red, to blue, and eventually to a nice brown, and they even ordered us KFC.. so cute! My hair turned a little blue because of too much toner but luckily it washed out the next morning.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So today I was told by Jasmine I wouldn’t
be teaching and Emma and Caroline wouldn’t be working so we could all go to a
seminar.. yes we wernt too sure either where we were going, or what to do, or
why, but thought we’d just go with the flow and see where we’d end up! Jasmine
had asked for my portfolio so I wasn’t too sure whether I was going to show it
or something but she ended up just wanting it to look at again!! We got on a
little mini bus with a few others which was a pretty bumpy ride… at one point I
turned around to see Caroline on the back seat lifted in the air fully off her
seat because of a bump in the road! Haha</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">When we got there it was like a storm had just started, the wind was
blowing us everywhere.. the seminar was outside as well. There were red carpets
leading to a big stage, there were balloons surrounding the stage that kept
popping in the wind and plants that had blown over. We finally grabbed a goody
bag which contained a free scarf. The seminar ended up being a little show with
some dancers, a male singer and then some people in suits talked for a while.
After it ended we were led inside and upstairs and we found a few of the
dresses our class made at uni being displayed.. the dresses were made from a
Chinese fabric made from milk invented in Ningbo. We also met the man who is
the owner of this fabric company, a journalist, and a few English people. Over
here if you see a western face you have to talk to each other, the conversation
usually goes “YEYYY an English person” the lady I talked to turned out to be
from Pudsey near Leeds… small small world!</span></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Monday morning I woke up and decided instead of the confusing bus I would try and walk to the company, I eventually found it after about half an hour. I was just finishing my designs throughout the day, creating different pattern swatches etc. At the end of the day Lindsay came to check my designs and saw a dress that I had drawn was very similar to a dress that they had bought. She has told me to develop some sets from the dress I have designed because on Thursday we will decide on which fabrics to use, to make a pattern for it, and hopefully create a sample.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tuesday I had a lesson about fashion brands but instead of the lesson the students had to create an outfit inspired by a brand of their choice. They chose someone out of the group to get their photo taken by a photographer in a studio; me and Laura teach the same lesson so we both went together to help. While I was there I only saw brands like Givenchy, Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, or Burberry used. I think when a lot of them looked at Givenchy they only had recollection of when Audrey Hepburn wore a Givenchy dress in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and not the modern style – there were lots of tiaras, buns and long black dresses! A lot of them had not thought about the poses they wanted to use so we had to improvise, and also show some pictures from magazines. Some of the girls looked slightly terrified when they were getting their photos taken bless them… half way through we were led to the make-up and hair room and were told to advise with hairstyles etc to match the clothes. One girl said she was ‘Vivienne Westwood’ style so I got her hair put in a high pony and backcombed… And so on and so on…</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are getting a little fed up with the food over here because there are only a few things we have found we like.. beef and peppers are yummy with egg fried rice but we had that last night, and I have had far too many burgers to count, plus for breakfast I have found a custard bread which is loverrrly but I cant just live on three dishes! So we decided to get some pizzas as our happy helper (Jeremy) was popping round so he nipped to pizza hut for us… our savior!!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Today we went to Jasmines house to make dumplings, they had vegetable and pork ones and veg and egg. I am not used to having just one thing for a meal though, what I mean is im used to having lots of things on my plate such as a Sunday dinner I have to fit a roast potato, Yorkshire pud, veg and meat all on one fork… So I seem to get a bit bored with just one thing, they were nice though and making them was fun. Don’t think they were impressed with our ‘creative’ dumplings in fish, dolphins, and tomato shapes etc…</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Some creepy man kept
following us round though, he’d come up to me and Kate and offered us his
houses in Shanghai and Hangzhou to stay and really wouldn’t take no for an
answer! Seriously there are some freaks here, he was walking round on his own
with a briefcase, we really didn’t want to imagine what he had in there! Making
an excuse to leave as we saw a toilet nearby and he followed, “I think I like
you, you make good impression on me, I hope we can be friends, you can give me
telephone number” ahhh scary! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So after the library we were starving, Papa Johns was calling us! Afterwards a chinese head massage was in need, it was like nothing I've ever experienced.. We got sat in chairs in a row and got shampoo squirted and water poured on the back of our heads, the man started foaming it up on the top of my head and then it started.. The thumping, slapping, pulling, and vicious neck massaging! I got led to the lay down sinks.. we definitely need these in England. Then back to the chair where my real massage would take place, I got a head, shoulders, and arm massage all in one. It was surreal the things they were doing to us, they definitely hit my funny bone!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday I went to the company, I sat with
the designers on my own desk and could really get on with my designs all day…
My illustrator skills are going to be tip top! I wanted to try and get back on
my own instead of having to get a lift and Angela one of the girls who works at
the company said she lived near where I am staying so I got the bus with her.
She started writing down which bus stop, bus numbers, and names of places down
for me for if I had to get it on my own – very confusing though! It took two
buses to get home and we got off the first bus and walked to the other bus stop
for the next. People were whizzing by on motorbikes and a few actually got off
their bikes to stand next to me at the bus stop!! (crazy people!!) Im quite
glad I don’t understand a word anyone is saying round here or I would probably
be more concerned haha. Angela kept changing her mind on the bus I should
actually get on which was a bit worrying.. Luckily I saw the number 1 bus which
I know passes by where I stay, so I hopped on it and it was all good thank god!
Home safe and sound. </span></span></div>

tea, I quickly got ready and we got the bus to Tianyi square.. it was very
yummy grub, just what the doctor ordered! After tea we fancied a few drinks in
Lao Waitan… Me and Kate got in one cab, the driver was literally insane
repeating everything we were saying “Lao Waitan, Lao Waitan” “Cheeky, Cheeky”
in a really high pitched voice! It was so funny!</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This morning I had a
terrifying car journey with an evil chihuahua! Lindsay came and picked me up in
the car and the chiwawa was sat on the front seat so I slipped into the back
and it started growling and barking like he was going to bite me, it jumped on
to Lindsays lap and trying to bite her she was terrified with her arms in the
air flailing around she was scared to death! We had to pop to the shop and get
some food for it to keep it entertained, I was just glad the thing didn’t jump
into the back seat!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Lindsay cant actually
speak any English but we have to talk to each other through ringing TongTong,
it does take a while to understand anything! I found out we were going to Lao
Waitan for a photoshoot for the summer collection. First we visited hair and beauty
and met everyone then we got into a minibus with all the outfits filling the
back seats. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The set was outside
in-between Lao Waitan and Ningbo bridge, the model was from Brazil and spoke
very good English. It was nice to talk to someone normally and not reallllly
slow! I was told I should try and match the dresses and outfits with shoes,
bags, hats, and other accessories. I put my own headscarf on her with one of
the dresses which they seemed to really like.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

While I was stood at the bus stop to come back one man stood straight on front of me just blatantly staring, I was on the phone to Kate at the time and I said to her why is this man staring at me like I'm in the circus or something??? She was like say hello! We have found if you just wave and say hello to people like this they get really embarrassed so to anyone who looks from now on I just say hello.. They usually shy off!!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Today I had an oral
English lesson and we talked about life at college, most of them said it was
“so so” in their own words. I asked why this was and basically they all said it
was boring, they don’t have many lessons so they have lots of spare time. I don’t
think they really make the most of their spare time though, most say their
hobbies are sitting in playing on the computer, and sleeping a lot. I think
there is so much to do and see I would want to get out and see everything! They
seemed shocked when I told them I had visited Tainyi square every night this
week, but I think I get itchy feet and want to get out of my room! This
conversation lasted so long I didn’t even have time to go through my own
presentation, this is good though as I can use it next week.. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After I had my lesson
with the teachers, two of the same ladies were the same from last week and
there was two other teachers a lady and a man who are going to be visiting
England with some students very soon. They couldn’t speak a sentence in English
so I had to go back to basics, I gave them both English names. The lady was
called something along the lines of ‘Maa leelee’ so I thought Marley and she
seemed to really like it, thinking back maybe molly or maisie might have been
more suitable! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

She wanted to take some photos of it and took it to show some others, I just thought I would get it back after my next lesson but when I had gone to receive they had scanned every page!!!! I don’t mind but I hope it doesn’t get copied or anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am missing chocolate lots and lots so I took a visit to find some and find the girls. </span></div>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-58525638896014362982012-04-18T05:26:00.000-07:002012-04-23T06:54:39.415-07:002Pac has risen from the dead.....<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Last night we ended up
going out for some food in Lao Waitan, we picked Indian and seemed a good call.
We were very hungry so ordered too much, the sauces were slightly different but
it was nice. The food was much richer than everything else weve been eating and
I felt a bit icky when I got back.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In the taxi coming
home I sat in the front, it was a different experience to sitting in the back…
very scary. The man was swerving, beeping, shouting, and nearly catching
everyone’s back door… I felt my life flash before my eyes!! In the back the
girls in the back were talking about ‘2Pac’ a rapper who apparently died quite
a few years ago. I asked who he was and they told me he had ‘risen from the
dead’ in a concert and that he had faked his death!!! When we got back to the
room they insisted we watch the concert with Kate, Laura, Emma and Caroline
saying things like “This will go down in history”,“Elton John was seen to
be in on the plan”, "Michael Jackson couldn't get away with that", “Diana might still be alive” and "Its recently been said, Elvis could have done the same".</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> To be honest he looked like he had been working out wherever </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">he had been for all them years! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Earlier in the day I
had found a good way of cleaning my clothes with a toothbrush and soap (not my
toothbrush I might add) but it worked very well!! So after sitting with the
girls I had gone and checked them in the sink and Laura and Kate left the room
acting slightly odd, like they had done something naughty. I came out and Emma
started laughing at me and I realised that they were taking the micky and 2Pac actually never rose from the
dead! How do I fall from these things?? It didn't even dawn on me once... looking back at the videos they even fully say hologram on them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have just got back from a Fashion Brand recognition class where I was advising students on the tasks set for next week. They have been asked to create a photograph influenced by a designer of their choice, the students all seem to know a few of the very mainstream designers such as 'Versace' 'Dior' 'Vivienne Westwood' etc, and along with Burberry these were the brands they picked to follow. Each had brought some photos or items of clothing that could resemble the designer and I had to find other images on my laptop to demonstrate what they could match together to create an outfit or 'look' with poses as well. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When everyone had shown me their research luckily I had a powerpoint presentation on 'Mulberry' and 'Stella McCartney' saved on my laptop. I want to show them new brands that they haven't heard of before and broaden there knowledge of designers as they haven't heard of many. After I showed them a few of my favourite designers on style.com and they showed me some images of a 'qipao dress' (a traditional chinese dress).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Fiona who had been translating to the students throughout the lesson had told me its very good I use my 'Initiative'. She had to translate this on her phone, and she also said I work much harder than her students do, and can work things out for myself when they would have to be told to do something. I think these are lovely things to say... I could get used to this!!!</span>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-14395459813703602662012-04-16T11:43:00.000-07:002012-04-17T01:11:09.120-07:00PIZZA HUT YES PLEASE<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Today I have been working with my company for the second time. Tong Tong came with me this morning to help translate and I am much happier now that I understand what I have to do. I am so excited to be able to design what I want! I will have to source my own fabrics from markets, and get 4/5 sample outfits made for in a few weeks. The other designers were in today so it was good to meet everyone else, another girl called Angela could speak a bit of English after coming to Manchester for a couple of weeks a few months ago which was nice. I like how they just let me get on with what I wanted. Throughout the day I kept being passed strange looking foods which i politely had to turn down - "Im so full, sorry"! (didn't fancy a green salted egg!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After work we decided a visit to pizza hut was in need!!! It was lovely to have something a bit more normal and it tasted the same as the pizza in England thank god! No-one could speak English but luckily we got everything we ordered. After we had a trail round the shops, I liked 'Peacebird' it is quite similar to 'Topshop' my fave..</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Saturday morning we wake to go meet a bubbly girl called Sammy, she had asked me, Laura and Kate to model some of the students clothes from the college earlier in the week so we thought why not for some extra cash! We drove to a little studio where there was a proper little make-up room and a few girls and an older woman waiting. They gave us all different looks and I ended up with the girly, smiley, barbie one and ended up in all the wedding dresses! hahaa..</span><br />

Me, Jasmine, Tong Tong, and Sophie (who is my tutor but can't speak any English) all came and we visited a factory where the boss (Jack) gave us lots of lovely chinese tea and biscuits! After I went on a tour around the factory, first the sample room with lots of clothes for brands such as 'Tommy Hillfiger' and 'Fossil' I was scooting round the room and then was told I could choose some garments I liked to put on the rail in case they had other samples I could have for myself!! I really hope so!! Then I got taken to the rooms for making the samples and another for the patterns.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We went for some food in the restaurant
next door, I got asked if I wanted to go look at the food before we picked.
There were lots of fish in tanks just taken from the lake outside moments
before, EELS AND FROGS, and lots of very interesting looking plates of god
knows what!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were some
alright looking things and luckily they ordered noodles, beef and peppers and I
had some spring rolls which were beaut… I tried baby bamboo shoots, and wait..
it gets worse.. snails.. and it gets worse….. chicken fingers!! I kind of feel
like I should try new things though and its not gunna kill me so im up for
anything once. The snails I thought were a bit pointless because they were so
small and you can only eat a certain part of it so there wasn’t much to eat
anyway but I only took a small bite of the chicken finger or foot or hand or
whatever it was and it wasn’t good! There was lots of fish too which I like but
im never up for the amount of bones ive gotta fish out of it. I got told I was
good at using chopsticks which is good!</span></span></div>

for a bit and prepare for my lessons, and company tomorrow. Think im still a
little tired from the time change over here, skyping people is a little hard as
there is 7 hours difference, so everyone is in the middle of their day when im
going to bed. Its strange to think when I finish work, if I was at home I
wouldn’t even be out of bed yet!</span></span></div>Becca Lydonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348159161385341758noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519365493180025322.post-82826512747151830352012-04-12T03:33:00.000-07:002012-04-12T07:09:08.386-07:00Tianyi square<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Luckily Tong Tong came with me to Tianyi square today, Tianyi square is a big shopping area with a few shopping centres. It was better than I thought it would be, it was very modern and had a few of the same shops and make up counters as in England, Zara, H&M, Max Factor etc.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I went to find two shops, Orchirly, and Mo & Co which my brand use as references for their own style. The two brands seem very different from each other Orchirly very girly and pretty, where Mo & Co very classic and lots of use of darker colours on garments. My brand's style is somewhere in between the two, not too girly and not too masculine... Having to take photos in the changing rooms was a bit tricky!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We met Tong Tong's husband and they asked if id like to go for lunch to a restaurant near her flat which is a bit further away from Tianyi square. I really like trying new foods and they said they would pick dishes that some other foreigners they knew had liked. One dish they described as strips of pork that had a fish flavour sounded a bit different but when it came it was quite similar to a sweet and sour in England, this was my favourite of the three. There was an eggplant dish that I wasn't as keen on, and another bowl of beef, mushrooms and other vegetables which was a more spicy dish, but tasted good. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We walked down the river to their flat and they told me a chinese home was very different to other homes so I didn't know what to expect. It was very nice though, Just like a big open-space flat in England, the only difference was the chinese photographs of their wedding on the walls. I am told every Chinese home should have these pictures up. Also over here I have noticed most flats have bars on the windows in case of burglars but theres didn't which was much more homely. They had a keyboard in one of the rooms which they asked me to play, I havnt played for at least two years so i was a bit cranky at it! I then started feeling like I was at my Grandma's when they got the albums of photos out.. they told me about their travels to Beijing where I will be visiting after I finish working over here. They told me they visited places called liu li chang, Heaven temple. Hou Haiok, and of course the great wall of China. Tong Tong is from Mongolia so they showed me pictures of when she visited in the summer, it looks so beautiful and reminded me of the countryside where I live in England. They were near the border of Russia and China at one point and it takes 20 hours to get there from Beijing.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I feel tired all the time at the moment but I love being so busy! I had an oral English class today with the same class as yesterday. I went round everyone trying to find out some simple questions to get to know them, everyone had thought up an English name for themselves, and they had prepared a few sentences to tell me. I heard a lot of my favourite singer is Justin Bieber, and they all told me where they had come from, and about hobbies and I got them to speak some tongue twisters. I thought they were better than the teachers had first told me at speaking, which makes it a bit harder to think up what to teach next time I think.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Straight after I had a class for the teachers teaching them English, they all spoke pretty well, but they seemed to want to know more about my university, how I study, and the lessons we have in England. They found it fascinating that we do so much self directed work, and that we didn't have lessons such as learning about colour, or fabrics as we source this independently. I showed them my portfolio and they said that no-one over here has work as professional as this, and students don't have many new ideas or new thoughts about how to design etc. I just think people over here design in a different way to people in England, they are taught very differently and they think in a different way to us. They are not as individual or can't make decisions for themselves. I think this is the same as freedom of speech in this country, they are not allowed to speak there own mind or have their own views.. I would find this so frustrating! But maybe its because of how I have been brought up?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After this there was a hurry to get interviewed by a man from the paper, the man had already been taking photos of me and the teachers for a while, but I feel like I'm used to people taking photos all the time now, at least they won't be all over Facebook as they are not allowed it over here! We were led to a smaller office with lots of tutors and everyone seemed panicked trying to find a seat. Me, Emma, and Caroline found it very funny how we were made to pose with a jacket staring at it like it was a new born baby or something while the photos were being took.. I'm being made to stare at this bloody jacket like its the first jacket I've ever seen!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Very hungry we went and found food.. I've been wanting to try dumplings since I've got here so we went to a little restaurant. No-one could speak English but luckily two boys nearby could translate a little. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We took Emma for a burger and got the Chinese boys to write down some useful words in Chinese. We also showed them our note that Tong Tong has made us for if we get lost and we can show to a taxi driver, they found it hilarious as the translation of the Chinese writing says something along the lines of, ‘Get us back immediately! We are unsafe here! It is very important we can get back! We are in trouble! Our safety is important!’ … basically very dramatic haha! </span><br />
