Waiban

Today we visited the Foreign Affairs Office (Waiban) for the first time. We have all been paired with a staff member from the office in order to exchange ideas and information about our respective countries and China. Those delegates whose country did not have a representative in Gansu on last year's programme will be giving presentations in the following weeks to the rest of the group and the Waiban staff. Some of us have started playing ping-pong in our spare time. Although I must admit it is a bit discouraging to be annihilated by small children!
