We were brought to a piano factory in GuangZhou and apparently, it is one of the largest piano producers. we were brought around the whole factory to observe the entire piano-making process. from the cutting of the wood, to the assembling, to the packaging and exporting. making a piano is totally not easy at all. it is very time-consuming such that the factory only produce about 6000 pianos each month. though the raw materials is cheap, the time spent on making the whole piano is very expensive. this probably explains the high pricing of 30,000RMB - 300,000 RMB per piano.
the visit there made us realise that there are actually quite a few musical talents amongst our midst! we had special performances done by Zhe Ying, Stephanie and Pei Xuan. it was really enjoyable and it made me regret not wanting to learn piano when i was younger :(
One of the key parts that make up the entire piano..
some of the pretty pianos they produce.. love it
A strong statement that displays the company's mission
Our musically talented pianist - Zhe Ying! 
Yup! it's us again :)
then, we are off to a university in GuangZhou. i was totally dumb-founded when i first arrived. in my mind, the impression i have of a university is one that looks like NUS with a big campus and many facilities. but when i stepped into the university, what i saw was a run down building with a very rugged feeling. there were little or no facilities in the campus and the toilet experience was rather terrifying. if one is not careful, the toilet bowl water will splash on your feet when you flush it. it was then that i felt how blessed and fortunate we are in Singapore. we even have lifts which we complain about. but the people there have to walk up the stairs everyday. also, we have nice toilets and good sanitisation but we still complain. it makes me feel rather spoilt and ashamed because we never seem to be satisfied at anything.
anyhow, we had a llllloooooonnnnggg and mundane presentation done by the school's professor. his effort was greatly seen in the powerpoint slides. but i guess their teaching styles are totally different from Singapore's and we got rather restless after looking at the slides filled with words. it actually scared us to a certain extent. ha. but it was still a great day spent in GuangZhou. :)
the torturous slides that Singapore lecturers should never follow..
A typical classroom setting.. totally different from Singapore
