Demo Class Notes (Martin X – Jesse)

I have been to beijing and also shanghai and I remembered that I have traveled to fujian, xiamen, and because I lived in shenzhen right now so I have been to HK for several times. I study in GZ but right now I’m shenzhen. Of course GZ because I’m familiar with this city because I have stayed in GZ for about 2 years because I’m a university student and it’s my 3rd year in my university and I think GZ is especially my university there are many old buildings and that’s what I can’t see in SZ and I’ve been to a very modern place in GZ. It’s called Zhu Jiang Xin Cheng, it’s a shopping mall, and all the things in there are very expensive. It’s very beautiful and modern place.
