In the last four days,  grade 8 students went to Hangzhou. Hangzhou has a lot of beautiful mountains ⛰️and lakes🏞️, the weather is clear☀️, it’s perfect for outdoor activities, for example hiking🥾. Actually, hiking was exactly what we were doing, we spent four days hiking in places om Hangzhou with our teachers and friends. We had a special experience, we brought some snacks🍪, which was all we got for our lunch during the hiking, we got to share with friends and teachers.

  Also, we learned about traditional tea-culture🍵, and picked- tea🍃. Which I never experienced before; We usually only taste the one bought in shops, now we can taste the tea picked by ourselves. We even learned how to taste the tea, that I never heard👂 before.

  Last time we went on a trip, we had two people in a room, but that was too boring, we wanted more of us to sleep together, and have some big conversations. This time we got a dorm that can contain 12 people, that’s way bigger than what we had last time, so we got a chance to spend our time with our friend and have some fun💬.

  That sounds cool and interesting right😎? We can spend our time with our friends and exercise at the same time. But! Actually, that was the worst trip I ever experienced😓!

  We paid 3.3k to the school each, but our dorm was very small, all it got were 12 beds🛏️, 2 sinks and 2 mirrors🪞; Chargers🔌 didn’t worked well too, my camera📷 wasn’t fully charged, so it shuts down very quickly🪫. They also took away our phones📱, and each group only had one phone, which means six people have to share un-charged phone and camera. Compared to devices with out battery, toilets🚽 and shower🚿 were the greater suffers. The floor was so dirty, there were small flies🐞 flying around, that really made me feel disgusting.

  For the hiking part, I don’t think the planning group organized as well as we expected, they made it pretty boring, unnecessary and troublesome. What we expect was that we can walk and talk with our friends during the hiking process, but what all the teachers wanted was keeping us in classes, this means that if we have friends in other classes, we can’t go find them; They keep repeating “walk in a straight line, don’t go beside each other “, but for us it seemed unnecessary at all, it will only make us more irritable. The most unpleasant day was climbing the Tea Mountain. The weather was very hot☀️ and wet, everybody was wearing shorts and short sleeves, climbing mountains is already very tiring, there were still many mosquitoes🦟 on the mountain that spraying a lot of mosquito spray didn’t worked a bit.

  This trip is should be about interdisciplinary subjects, but we learned actually nothing about it, all we done was hiking. We only had some slight experiences and a brief introduction, we didn’t really study or understand it very well. It might be even better for us to search up information online🌐.

  The poor accommodation, endless roads, and not a profound experience just have nothing to do with what we imagine. I’m not the only one who thinks this way, tired and bored, we even wants to go back to school. 

   Even though it was terrible, it was the worst trip, it was disappointing, it’s still a special experience，I won’t easily forget what I have “suffered”. BUT all the challenges we met were the most unforgettable part of this trip, at least I become more endure to bad weather, accommodation, annoying FLIES and MOSQUITOES. After we suffered all those challenges, it actually bring us (teachers and students) closer. 

  This trip, whether good or bad, was unforgettable.👌
