The very last day in Jinan we had to do one big final exam to demonstrate our Chinese language skills to various people...the most of them we didn't even know...Anyway, one part of the test was to tell a story in Chinese. I really have to thank our Chinese teacher...that she always pretended to understand our sentences. But actually I'm sure we were all perfect :)

After the test in the morning we had an official farewell with all the teachers and some very important people from the international Office as well as from the Jinan University. They even came all the way from Beijing from the CDC (Carl Duisberg Center) to convince themselves of our – I have to say – outstanding Chinese speaking skills :). Big event :).
To make it even more official we all got a Chinese language certificate...so now we officially have the license to speak Chinese...poor Chinese people..they will suffer...a lot :)

I really have to say the time here in Jinan past very fast. I think I can say for all of us that we all enjoyed our time in Jinan very much. We all learned a lot...and now I'm very motivated to test my Chinese language skills in Shanghai. Poor Shanghainese...I'm cooooming :)
