Beautiful West Lake

Yesterday, so Thursday we only had half a day in the office, the other designers were taking us to West Lake!!

West Lake was so pretty, I was very happy we had been able to go and visit there. We ended up on a bike, not just and ordinary bike but a 3 seater, my god it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do! I did attempt to sit at the front and direct but after a few near collisions with a car and a building I was told to get off and move to the back! Ooopsie!! It was so hard work on this bike, I defo wished I had of just got one bike for myself! Much easier! Also we had to ride on the death trap of the roads over here! Bit scary especially when we was on the wrong side of the road, head on collisions sprung to mind!!

On the way back I had a bike to myself, so much more easier than the 3 seater, I kind of got in to the Chinese mind set and just didn't stop at roads, over taking buses and just prayed and hoped they would stop for me, which they did, thankfully!!

West lake had lots of really cool places to eat and shop! Also lots of very nice car shops, Lamborghini and Porsche to name a few!

After West Lake we went for dinner in a hotel called Landisson, not far from West Lake, this was a 5* hotel, Mr Chen and Miss Guo met us there, the food was amazing, it was a buffet so I could eat as much as I wanted. I had so many plates of mashed potatoes, roast beef, peas and gravy!! AMAZING!! There was also apple crumble, ice cream and sweets for dessert! I think this is the fullest I have felt whilst being in China! I was very very happy!

Miss Guo and Mr Chen will be in Shanghai, Friday and Saturday so we maybe won't see them again now. We have to go back to the company on Saturday Morning to meet our tutors but this should only take 1 hour, so they may still not be back! We have told them we will keep in touch through email, and they have also said, if we come back to China, we have to visit the company. Also the designs we have done, they will make samples of them and if the customer orders them, we will get paid for the designs. So fingers crossed this would be very helpful for final collection next year, especially if they do a huge order.

On Friday, we will leave the company at lunch time to meet the other girls, and visit some shopping centres, I think on Saturday morning the other girls will visit West Lake and some fabric markets while we come back to the company. Friday night we will have dinner with Jocelyn and her boyfriend and go to some bars with them to celebrate Beccas 21st at midnight!!
