Day 5

After our morning session, we took a coach to a cricket club. We were greeted by Coach Richard. He explained to us that cricket is the second most popular sport in Britain (The No.1 sport in Britain is football of course!).

We were trained like the professional cricket players. During the exercise, we had to have quick reaction and good body coordination.



The exercise which was most fun was the one where we had to move a mat from one end of the gymnasium to the other without using our feet or hands. What we had to do is run and dash onto the mat so it would slide for a distance.

We were shy and gentle at the beginning but as we went on for a few more rounds, we started to show our 'girl power' and even beat the boys team!

Hit it like there's no tomorrow!!!!


GO! GO! GO! run more for more points!

After the exciting cricket time, we walked to the oldest church in England, St. Martin's Church.

St. Martin's Church, the oldest church in England.

We were explained the historical background of the church at its graveyard. It was a bit unusual for us but not as scary as we thought.

After visiting St. Martin's Church, we continued our walk to St. Augustine's Abbey. It is a ruin where once all the monks and workers who built the Canterbury Cathedral lived. 


We could all dress up as a monk while visiting the Abbey, it is very thoughtful of the Abbey to make history more interesting.

Today is our last full day of programme. After our morning session followed by our lunch, we walked our way near the Ramsgate beach. The spot we are visiting was the Ramsgate tunnels. It was originally a railway tunnel used in the 1920s and became a shelter for the people in Ramsgate during the First World War. Is was very cold in the tunnel as it is underground. It was also very dark inside even with modern lighting while we were visiting. We just couldn't imagine how people lived there for years during the WWI It's the 'living room for a family. They cooked, made tea and played cards here. This is the 'bedroom' of a family. The rooms were divided by very simple materials A group photo to conclude the day~

For the afternoon activity today, was a sport called Croquet. We had no idea what this sport is until we reached the Croquet Club. It is a sport played among a lot of senior people because it doesn't require a lot of running. We thought it would be boring but actually we got excited while playing this game because Croquet is all about strategies rather than strength! The club members explaining the rules and regulation Discussing strategies to beat the opposing pair Nice hit! Girls team won! We were served cakes, snacks and drinks after 3 rounds of Croquet

We had our regular classes in the morning. We had our regular classes in the morning. After the morning classes, we walked to a place to enjoy another cultural experience -- movie watching! This cinema is HUGE!! This is the movie ticket, just like a supermarket receipt! The movies didn't have English subtitles, which was a bit hard to follow what the characters were saying, but luckily we were watching an animation and is simple enough to understand!
