OELP Daily Reflections Day 5

We first started the day by visiting "iicake" a towel factory. Over there, I learnt more about the production of the towels and how to choose a good towel. One interesting thing about this towel factory is the fact that these towel were even made into different items such as food, flowers and even toy animals! At the factory the guides taught us how to make our very own towel animal by using simple materials such as elastic bands and clips.

Secondly, we went to a puppet museum in Huwei. I learnt more about the tradition of puppets and how modern technology like special effects can enhance the viewing experience of simple puppets. Then, we were treated to a small puppet performance.

Lastly, we went back to Sacred Hearts High School and got to observe a few CCAs in the school: scouts, girl guides and military band. I feel that these CCAs, being uniformed groups, are not as strict as the uniformed groups in Singapore.  The CCAs in Scared Hearts High School are much more focused on enjoyment and having fun, whereas the CCAs in Singapore are much more competitive and focused on skills and competition.
