Students arrived back at the school with their partner students during the afternoon (between 3pm and 5pm).

One by one they assembled in one of the staff rooms where stories of the weekend were exchanged.

Every student commented on how friendly and welcoming their families had been. Discussions about the location of where they stayed and the size of the houses/apartments they were guests in took place. Some students stayed in houses with between 4 to 8 stories, with facilities such as a private swimming pool, a cinema room, a pool room, some families had their own drivers etc other stayed in pent house apartments.

Most students spent some of their weekend time shopping, being taken out for meals or attending family parties in honor of their arrival. Everyone sampled a range of Chinese meals as well as food from other countries eg Japan.

Families showered their guests with numerous gifts and invited them back for a return visit.

After having dinner with their partner student in the canteen everyone met up to play basketball.
