5 days 4 nights at Buddhist Children Camp Day 2

Guess when did we had to woke up? 6:00 am!! And you thought 9 hours is still not enough for you. Then I, I mean we had to go and change and brush. At about 6:30, we all went to the hall to do a morning lesson. I'll tell you what we do.



We are given each person a paper, laminated, and have to read those things inside. Those poems were some parts of the Buddhist 'Bible'. It was all so holy, you should see for yourself. But some kids come and break the scene. You know how? They took the 'Bible' and fold it, shake it like a fan (that doesn't need electric and no it's not solar powered), and even worse, pick their toenails with it. We knew that by the camp manager announcing: You have done 60% as we expected and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, And some people use the 'Bible' and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I think it was 15 minutes long. not a very good start for a day, isn't it?



Then the camp manager then gave the 'Excellent Camper Badge', 'Excellent Leader Badge' and the 'Excellent Team Bracelet' to of course, to the excellent ones. Guess what? We didn't get any, how's that? Afterwards we did some morning exercise, which you can say, I've been to hell before. We had to do some physical movements to our teammates, and no. We don't split up a team for boys, a team for girls. Unluckily, I end up with a girl in front of me. Don't look at me (you can't anyway), It's not only me who's suffering, but the girl in front too. How would you like a massage by a boy which is younger than you and you hardly even know him? After 15 minutes, finally over. Thanks a lot, I said to God/Buddha/or whatever. It's just my habit, you know, up there. When something bad happens, I groan to the sky. Not a very good thing to do, especially when a big statue of Buddha is on your back.



After breakfast, we played a game, then a monk, who was a Christian before, came to a give a speech about 'The Life of Buddha'. Wow, that took 2 hours, and it was so interesting that i didn't forget a word he said, only few.



Lunch is served. Veges again. And still have to pray. Sigh, my tounges are dry. Pray this, pray that, its so tough being religous. Don't you think?



Later on we went out side and played the game 五戒, which means the 5 concepts.

I have a concept, and that is don't get wet with your clothes on, and don't get paint on any part of your body. Guess what? They force me to break that concept! I wish you like a guy with a wet, green face! It took 3 hours, and our team didn't even win any competition. Hahahaha.ha...ha......haha....

Then we went inside, of course to take a shower and change, silly! What else?

Then the night lesson. Again praying. And Oh did I mention we are preparing an MV tommorow? It's called 《浪花一朵朵》. It's about the waves. And finally we know what were gonna do. Then dinner. Dinner was sweet, very nice, especially with Mr.Curry with rice. Then we had some midnight activities, then off to bed at 11:00!
