Day 32 (3-4-2009) - Industrial Visit

We didn’t really have a good start to today. Out of 23 students, only 11 of us were able to make it to the early morning lesson on the Chinese Political System. I found this kind of annoying since we come here to learn more about China, yet some of us don’t seem enthusiastic at all when it comes to these lessons. How can a person ever be more enthusiastic about Math lessons than anything else??

Luckily the young teacher understood the fact that we had a late night and all of us were very tired.

I think the industrial visit today was okay. Seeing how 3D images, CGI and animated films are made was kind of interesting. I just don’t think that the industrial visit nailed us since animation isn't really our ideal cup of tea. I think that we should have also visited an industry more related to our course. What’s more, the visit was so short and I barely learned anything. But I appreciate them allowing is to step into their offices and work areas just to have a preview of how animated films come to life.
