J+283 Elders university
Today as planned, I met my 80-year old friend, at the
park.
He took me to the elder's university.
Such an amazing place! I was amazed by the number of elders who decide to study all sorts of subjects!
I attended the English class, the level is astonishing! We played a game, I was on the stage, we dialogued : they in English, I in Chinese.
It was such an interesting experience.
I have always particularly enjoyed communicating with older people, I believe we all have so much to learn from them.
These are the works from the drawing lesson:
English classroom:
They were all very curious about "what European retirees are up to"
Hahah... The conversation got interesting.
They didn't understand how come, European retirees don't dance in the street every night.. This is outrageous to them!
" And they don't sing in the street?!"
They can't imagine the way young generations in Europe would judge them if they were doing their moves on a public square..
The other night I took a walk.. And my attention got caught by a familiar club song. By Akon and David guetta (French DJ) ~ ok, the name of the song tells a lot : "Sexy bitch"
I was walking in the street when I heard it.. I must admit it got me quite intrigued ! I followed the sound back to the source. And when I got to it, I almost fainted. 60 elders twisting and shaking " everything they've got" to the rhythm.. Completely ignorant of the meaning of those lyrics..

J+280 Our little school breaks...
It is hot to die!
People from different grades gather together to play basket ball. It's the most popular sport here , without a doubt.
And some students "cutely attempt" to order cold drinks from outside, and discreetly get them delivered through the fence.. But they get caught every time, it's quite amusing.
