Italian Food

On 8th March Gerry, Chris, Lawrence, Victor, Tim, Paul and me went to Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant. It was an Italian restaurant. It was on Xinjie Kou. We went there because Lawrence suggested us to have lunch there. We arrived there at about half past eleven.





When we were outside the restaurant, we thought it did not open. Because we saw it was dark inside the restaurant. But when we went in it, we found it was not very dark and the sunshine could though the windows. The sunshine was better than lights. We felt very comfortable to eat in sunshine. The environment was very good. It was quiet and the light music made us felt very good. Maybe the time was a bit early so there was not many people there.


I ordered spaghetti and salad. There was seafood in the spaghetti. It was delicious. I liked it. But it did not like noodles in China. It was a bit sour and sweet, the taste was special. And there was no soup with the spaghetti. That was cool. In China, noodles are often in soup and they are never sweet. But I also loved spaghetti. However the salad was different from the salad I have eaten, and I did not like it very much. But it was not very bad. The service was good there. The waiters were kind.


At about 12 o'clock, that was lunchtime. We saw some foreigners came into the restaurant and had meals. They were received by the manager, because she could speak English and the other waiters could not.




The food was good, but it was not cheap. I spent about 100 Yuan for two things. If you have enough money, I suggest you to go there. The environment, food, service are very good. If you are a foreigner do not worry about the language. You may have good time there.

Nanjing Museum

On 8th of March, my friends Lawrence, Gerry, Chris, Tim, Paul, Tim and me went to Nanjing Museum together. The reason why we visited Nanjing Museum was that Nanjing Museum did not like other exhibitions, it included many different kings of exhibitions. We could enjoy many kinds of exhibitions and different ways of art for going to one place, and it opened everyday. An other reason was that Nanjing Museum was free. That was good for us. Nanjing Museum was on East Zhongshan Road.


First we went to the Ancient Chinese Lacquer Exhibition. There were many lacquers there. Some of we even have not seen. However the introductions told us what the lacquers used for.This is Ruyi in Gold Lacquer, it was in Qing Dynasty, A.D. 1644-1911.It was on of my favourite lacquers. It was made of gold and the carving was perfect and careful. It was unbelievable. This was just one of the lacquers in the exhibition.

Then we went to the Ancient Chinese Jade Exhibition. Over there we learnt how to make jade. And also many beautiful jades there. Afterwards we were in the Cloud Brocade Hall.This was a robe with design of dragon among clouds. It was for the emperor. From the guide we knew it took 3 years to make this robe. That was miraculous.

We also saw Wuwei Shan Cultural Figures Sculpture Gallery. And there were many beautiful paints from The 8 Strange Persons Of Yangzhou in Ancient Chinese Painting Exhibition.
