  This is not my first time to be with children but not with the exceptional ones.

  I will go for a recollection, I told a friend but he replied, You just had a recollection recently, and here’s another one again?

Could it be the fact that all the graduating students are off campus either working in some companies in Shenzhen or Guangzhou or in some other places; or are still looking for jobs somewhere else?

  One thing I like about travelling is the opportunity to retreat from my daily routines and surroundings and be able to see how my life has been in a different perspective.
