Week 5 (30 Sep - 6 Oct 2013)

Hi friends in Singapore! Week 5 updates are here! This week we went to the World Park in Beijing.

Note: 1st October is China's National Day and most companies would be closed for the whole week (also commonly known as the Golden Week). This gave our students a grand opportunity to sight-see and learn more about China - its people, culture and food (a favorite Singaporean past-time).
