This morning we awoke at a great deal of activity taking place in the field next to our dormitories. I looked out my window, and there were the Lanzhou Middle School studeents, marching around the track! There were a number of athletics activities throughout the day, from marching drills, running races, long-jump and more! It seems that all the Middle Schools of the region have their Sports Days around this time.
Class was cancelled this day as our teacher was sick, so Ashley and I found a quiet place on campus and studied. We found a peaceful spot by a small pond, shaded with trees and conveniently placed rocks for sitting.
Finally this day finished with more activity in the field, this time dancing! This was the Chinese "long sleeve" Dance (cháng xiù wŭ, 长袖舞) which was very enjoyable to watch!

I love your study spot so serene looking and long sleeve dancing is real? LOL I just watched The House of Flying Daggers the other day, fantastic LS dancing scene.
