French restaurant

French Restaurant
Dec 21th our class organized to go to a French restaurant which opened by Hugo's parents.
First we decided to go to a India restaurant, but Hugo said that his parents have a French restaurant, and it is big enough to accommodate all of our classmates, so at last, we decided to go to the French.

We decided to meet at the school gate at 11:00a.m, because of somebodies' late, so we go from the school gate at 11:20a.m, from this we knew the importance of being on time.
We went to the restaurant by bus. When we arrived there, we saw shop front like a Chinese restaurant, because all of the styles with the restaurant are Chinese. I think the French restaurant did this can attract more Chinese people.
We ate combo because we had a lot of people, while the French production is a very delicate time, so we eat the combo, each personspent 50RMB, it was very cheap (which stores the per capita cost is RMB 300) because soldl at a discount.
The first dish is a vegetable salad (vegetables are imported from France in order to ensure the original)
The second dish is pumpkin soup .I think it was not very good to eat, because there are some cream in it, i think this taste is very strange. May be French people like this.
The third dish is the main dish, is was a roast chicken and pieces of duck meat, and there were also some potatoes with them, i think this dish taste very well, and was the most delicious dish.
The last one was apple pie, there were lots of pieces of apples and placed them as a circle.
Every dish had different knife, the levels of the tartness with the knifes are different. All the cups are imported from France.
The environment in the restaurant is very clean and quiet. usually, the French people like tolling, because they want to be romantic.

After this lunch, we learned a lot of knowledge about the French food and drink, this experience to Hugo's restaurant was very meaningful.

The sculpture Exhibition of Wu wei shan







The sculpture Exhibition of Wu wei shan
Dec 4th, we went to Nanjing Museum for a visit with Wu Wei Shan’s exhibition.
Wu wei shan’s artwork showed the art about sculpture. His most famous work is "A sleeping Baby" and i love it very much..This artwork showed us a baby who was soundly sleeping , in this artwork, the sculptor use the unsophisticated and easy carve to express the baby's naive. Let us see a lovely baby sleeping with his mouth opened. The child's naivety and without blemish. It used smooth curves to delineate the baby's face. It also showed the baby's eyes. Mistily the chin of the baby's face was like a circle, and the colour of this artwork is brown. The baby was really lovely!

The introduction said that this artwork was made in a very ordinary morning. Wu wei shan went to his friend's home talk with his friend about sculpture. This friend have a baby who just 6 months old. After a moment of crying, he was sleeping, this time . Wu wei shan saw the sleeping baby and think it is a very good subject matter to make a sculpture artwork, so he put a handful soil to make this, and just spent 20 mins. This process also told us that we should pay attention to all the things around us , there are a lot of inspirations from our life.
I an interested in this artwork, because it was a very good meaning shower art. It made by soil, so i think it made this artwork more natural.
I think people will agree with me and think this is a very good work. Because when you see the work you will fell it really have accessibility, and maybe it can remenber you about your childhood. Western sculptors evaluation said: "Wu Wei Shan has made full of Oriental wisdom works.” OK, this is Wu wei shan's works' characteristic,it not just work on how to make this art like the thing it does very well, but only give people a feeling of what it is like , it is the enchantment which Wu wei shan's art showed,wu wei shan is the pride of chinese art domain.
