Cultural Awareness--With My Friend

On March 7th 2009 I went to Babela's kitchen, an Italian restaurant with my girlfriend Rita. It is on the top floor of the Zhongyang Shopping Mall.The restaurant is very famous in the CBD. We arrived there at 12:15. There were so many people ,so we waited for 15 minutes. The environment there is very fantastic. We enjoyed our lunch very much. We chose this restaurant because both Rita and I love Italian food very much. It was a great chance for us to relax ourselves from the hard school life.



The menu is very beautiful . I chose the baked snail rice. It's the most famous kind of rice in Italy. It tasted good and I feel satisfied very much. It's very different from the traditional Chinese white rice. It had been baked so the taste is more soft . I also ordered some chips and a glass of Coke. I love chips and Coke very much. It's so relaxed.




Italian food is totally different from Chinese food. The taste is different. We used fork and knife. When we used Western tablewares, we will feel very relaxed. The environment there is very good. The light is very warm and not bright, it can let you enjoy the feeling of love.The service is quite good. There are so many people,the speed they deliver the food was a little bit slow but Ok.

I would recommend other people to eat here, especially lovers. It's a great place for dating!

Arts & Design--Go to an Exhibition with my friend

on March, 8th 2009 I went to the Nanjing Museum with my friend Rita. It's a museum which has lots of exhibitions . It's one of the earliest museum in China, it covers lots of Chinese culture. We are chinese. We have responsible to know the culture more about our own country.

The museum is at the NO.321 Zhongshan East road, near the moon lake. Rita and i live at the moon lake so we went there in ten minutes by Bus No.59. We chose that museum because it's a integrated museum.This is the ticket for the museum. We can get the ticket from the entrance freely.

We saw a lot of exhibitions in the museum and my favourtie exhibition was the Chinese jade exhibition. All the jade here are from the ancient China. They are very precious.This is my favourite artwork.It's a jade pendant With dragon. It was from the eastern Jin dynasty ,A.D 4th century . It was unearthed in the Dengfushan site, Nanjing, Jiangsu.

When i saw this art work, i was shocked by the skill the worker used to make this pendant. It shows the great skill of the workers in the ancient China. I was proud of my country , we have lots of precious antiques but some of them were stolen or robbed by the foreigners . We must protect our own antiques.

The procedure of making jades are very difficult. We must remember that the jade is full of the workers' hard work.

The journey to the museum was amazing, I won't forget it.
