I realised that the students of Taicang Experimental Primary School ended their school at 4.30pm or even later.
They had to do their morning exercises before the start of their lessons and they also have 5 minutes of playing traditional games too. Their PE lessons included learning how to play volleyball. Although we did not know how to play the volleyball, we had a whale of a time playing it.

Besides having lessons with them, we and our buddies went to another school called Jiu Qu Primary School for a learning journey.
We went to see the silkworms, harvest mulberries, learning how to make dumplings and even play traditional games with the students there.
It was definitely a memorable experience for me!

My most memorable experience was when we were in the China & Singapore Pavilion of the World Expo. The China Pavilion may look very small from the outside. But it’s very spacious and there are many exhibits inside.
I learnt that after the World Expo ends, all the pavilions will be removed, leaving only the China Pavilion as a tourist attraction.
-Andrea Wong, 5 Care
![Page 69: Taicang 2010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052901/5564c128d8b42a7e178b513d/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
I was very proud of my own country because even a small country like Singapore is also part of the World Expo.
The best part of my visit to the Singapore Pavilion was when we were told, we need not queue up. But when we realised this, we were already halfway through the line, so we climbed over a barrier to get out of the queue.
Overall, It was really a fascinating and memorable experience!
