Nanjing Art Museum

the poster



I went to Nanjing Art Museum with my friends on 29th Feb. There was an exhibition of photography and painting about an India island Bali by an artist called Zhang Wenxi. All the photographs and paintings described the views, life styles and people on the Bali island. The exhibition was for free, so we did not have any tickets and we did not find any brochures as well.
Nanjing Art Museum was on No.12 Fourth Alley, we went there at 10 o’clock in the morning. We chose this exhibition because we were all wondering how were the views in India. 82% of people in Bali island still live in the countryside and they still do traditional farming. There were so many photographs and drawings in the exhibition and they were pretty beautiful. I felt I was on the island when I saw those photos. My favourite artwork was a painting which described different characters, different kinds of people who had different jobs were wearing different clothes, doing different things and wearing different styles of smiles. All the characters were vivid on the painting and I loved them so much. There were young woman with her baby, shopkeepers who were selling sweets, women who with bowls on their heads and so on.
I like the exhibition very much because I enjoyed the views, lifestyles in India and Bali inland was a really beautiful place to go. There were many people there but it was also very quiet. I love both the exhibition and the environment in the Nanjing Art Museum.

Swiss Food

The Menu


My LUNCH



The environment




I went to a Swiss restaurant on 15th Feb. with my friends. We ate beefsteak at BEBBIES which under the 1st floor of Orient Department Store. We arrived there at about 10:30 in the morning and the waitress told us that there were only materials of beefsteaks left in the restaurant because of the Valentine’s Day. We left a bit sad about it because we really wanted to taste the Swiss Chocolate Fondue in this Swiss restaurant.
I ordered the Juicy Tenderloin Beefsteak for my lunch, it looked very tasty but I did not really like it. It served with vegetables, French Fries and pepper sauce. The sauce on the beefsteak tasted very strange, it was a little bitter and I cleaned them all and just ate the beefsteak inside. The beefsteak was different from the other western restaurant as well. It was very hard to chew and I just ate 1/3 parts of the beefsteak.
The most interesting parts of our lunch was the shape of chocolates in this restaurant. They looked like ladybirds and they were very horrible for us to eat, especially Sandy, she was afraid of all the insects.
There was nobody when we came there at 10:30 in the morning. The service and environment were pretty good ,we all felt very comfortable when we were sitting there waiting our food. Everything was good except the taste of the food. Maybe I would recommend other people to enjoy the environment there, but I would also tell them I do not like the food there.
