Cher Cher & I were going to Esther's school excursion. we were riding the train to the city. then going to China town. The excursion was at the Chinese museum.
After the train ride we walked to the entrance of the Chinese museum. There were some big rocks there. We sat down for our morning tea. Some stood in groups, some students sat on rocks and short brick walls about 1 and a 1/2 feet tall. the students took out apples, sandwiches, chips, cookies out of their bag to eat.
Soon, the teacher called morning tea over. we walked in the museum and met our guide for the day. she took us to the basement where she told us all about the Chinese, being poor, came to Australia to be gold miners. she told us about traveling there. we could even walk in a fake boat where then it would shake a bit like it was actually floating on water.
Then we went up the next floor, learning about the culture.
we walked round the museum learning about foot binding & gods they worship.
we learned about dragon parades and lion dances. soon it was time for lunch.
Everyone lined up in two lines to walk to the German restaurant.
At the German restaurant, we ate chicken schnitzel. it was Delicious....it came with mash potatoes and so i stuffed it with the mash potatoes. it tasted good too.
Our desert was apple strudel. The ice cream was also yummy. a bit of black forest cake was nice. i enjoyed the day.
