The Nanjing Museum

The building which is in the photo on the top of this article is the Art Exhibition Center of the Nanjing Museum. It is located on Zhongshan East Road We, my three friends and I, attended the exhibition at approximate 3 o’clock after the lunch at the French restaurant on March 7th. Because the exhibition was free, we did not have to buy tickets.The Nanjing Museum is very famous, so we thought we should go to see it once at least.




There ware many kinds of exhibitions such as Ancient Chinese Lacquer Exhibition, Ancient Chinese Jade Exhibition, Ancient Bronze Ware Exhibition, and so on. Generally, it was dark in the exhibition room, so it was hard to take some good, clear photos.The different exhibitions have different special features. The different exhibitions have different special features. The lacquer had various sorts and shapes, but all of the colors were too dark and deep, so it was little lively, so I did not like it very much. The more one I like was the Jade Exhibition. The more one I like was the Jade Exhibition. Elaborate cut jade decorations were not brilliant but clear and fine. Bronze ware made us have a kind of old feeling. Most of the ware belonged to kind of containers, but some was different, just like bells. In the Modern Art Hall, there were some wooden sculptures. In the eastern Asian custom, 2009 is the year of the Ox, so there were some sculptures of ox. (They were being selling and one of them cost 78000 Yuan.) Then, also some more interesting exhibition was there, too.


We enjoyed ourselves during the whole watching. However, we feel tired when we finished the viewing. If someone wants to attend it, he or she should prepare enough time and energy.

A French Lunch

It was March 7, Saturday, 2009. My three classmates and I went to Les 5 Sens, a French Restaurant next to the Nanjing University, to have lunch at about 1 o’clock. That was my second time to go to Les 5 Sens to have a meal, and I had felt good before, so I persuaded my friends to have lunch in Les 5 Sens, to make them enjoy French food.





It was clear and quiet in the restaurant. However, just like the Mexican restaurant which I said before, it was little dark. The brightness of the most of my pictures has been changed by me with computer – the ability of camera was not enough to make photos brighter. When we arrived, there was some French, and when we are eating lunch, some English came, too. I thought Les 5 Sens a popular restaurant for Western foreigners.

The food on the picture left is my appetizer - the Caesar Salad. It was made with chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, croutons, etc. This dish was just a common one, similar to salads which I could eat in other Western restaurants, but it is expensive – it cost 22 Yuan, so I do not like it very much. The food on the picture right is my main dish - meat sauce noodles. It was one tasty and special dish. The noodles were stringy, and the sauce was suitably spicy, sweet and salty. One of my friends also ordered this dish, and we like it. My dessert was the Roasted Apple &Cinnamon. The fragrance of cinnamon was very heavy. The skin was not peeled, so I asked the waitress if I should peel the skin, and she answered “No.”. However, I think the answer should be “Yes.”.
In the mass, the environment is neat and the food is delicious. I will go there again when I have enough time.
