Today was probably one of the saddest days we had in China, today was our last day in Tianjin. To spend our last day a group of us and some Chinese students went to Ancient Culture Street. This was very cool because the Chinese students got to help us buy gifts for our friends back in the United States. The students were very helpful with me especially because I wanted to get my sister a painting that meant a long marriage. She just got married and I wanted to get them something that was traditional Chinese. They helped me talk to the people in the store and we didn't have much time so I was grateful for their help. After Ancient Culture Street we went to have dinner at the Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ was one of my favorite restaurants in Tianjin! I was so happy when we decided to spend our last dinner here. At the end of the dinner was the really special part. This was the part when we exchanged gifts with the Chinese students. I got some gifts that I was really excited about. Lisa gave me chopsticks, Sue gave me a little fabric bird that she made, Lily gave me a Nankai University notebook that she wrote a personalized note in it and Amy gave me something really special she gave me some of her favorite music most was asian music but not strictly Chinese. She also gave one of Nankai's notebooks, but I really liked the music that really meant a lot to me. Overall it was one of the best days but it was also very sad to say goodbye.
