Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Day10

7th of March is our last day in Deyang. After breakfast, we were ushered into the auditorium for an interesting Sichuan traditional performance (川剧). After that, we had a sumptuous lunch together with our China buddies at the canteen. At around 12.15pm, we started to board the buses, ready to go home. DFLS teachers and pupils gathered around the bus bay to send us off. It was a very touching and memorable scene.
