With the past of July, it’s also means that’s the end of my Russia trip. I am very fortunate to be able to spend the last summer holiday in a wonderful way. This journey has widened my vision and made a lot of friends with different personalities. During this trip, there are few of Russian leader go hand in hand. They can speak Chinese and arranged by the school. They bring us to different museums and all the basic places of scenic spots we have been visited, each place scenery has strong artistic color, for example: the kremlin, red square, Hermitage Museum, Victory Park and the sparrow hills etc. At the end of the exchange, the school gave us three to four days of free time to go where we wanted and buy some souvenir. Actually in the process of exchange, the school really gave us a great degree of freedom. They will ask our opinion, as well as where we want to go, some famous restaurant or hot spot, then they will take us to. During the 22 days of exchange, I thought it was different from what I thought. At first, I thought study was the greater part, and then we only have free time after finish the lecture. However, every day is specially fulfilling than imagined. It had one and a half hours of lecture time in the morning, 12p.m. began to eat lunch, after lunch was walked around scenic spot. It used of whole afternoon until 5:30p.m. Every day is the same time schedule and Sunday is the rest day. In general, it's a lot of physical labor.
What made me one of the most impressive was the trip of Moscow to st. Petersburg. This is the first time with a large group of friends who I just know chatting all night, watching the sunrise and sunset, playing poker and wolf man on the train... I wouldn't have done it if I had been traveling on my own. But because of this journey, I have tried many things that I have never tried before. It is a very rare and unforgettable experience. The second is movable bridge on the Neva river in st Petersburg. It was excited to us, when we know to cruise but when we hear that the cruise trip time is 12:00 midnight, everyone's face are dull. Why do you want to travel so late? I thought. While on the cruise, we found the answer. St Petersburg originally has more than five hundred large and small Bridges, especially across the most spectacular on the Neva river bridge, in order to not affect the passage of large ships, the bridge will be open in the middle of the night, open gradually rose slowly from the middle, let ocean-going ships can pass, it was about open more than one hour, after size ships through, then closed. In st. Petersburg, the sunshine was longer than that of Moscow. I still remember the departure time was about 11:00p.m. ,it was only after dark, and the sky was still have residual light. When we were sitting on the boat and ready to sail, we found the sea of people on the shore, and the shore was full of people, just like New Year's eve. It turns out that both tourists and locals love to watch the open bridge. When we landed, it was 2:00a.m. Most of the students were tired to sleep, but the Russians were still very energetic. Therefore, st. Petersburg has a name of ‘’the city of the day does not fall’’.

隨著7月的過去，也意味著我的俄羅斯之旅完滿結束。我很興幸地能精彩地渡過人生中最後一個暑假，這趟旅程令我眼光擴闊了很多，結交了不同性格的朋友。在這個行程中，有幾個學校安排而且懂中文的俄羅斯朋友結伴而行，跟著他們去了不同的博物館、美術館參觀，基本的名勝景點都去過了，每一處的景色都有濃濃的藝術氣色，例如：克里姆林宮、紅場、莫斯科航天博物馆、Victory Park、麻雀山。到了交流的尾升，學校都給我們2-3天的自由時間，去我們自己想去的地方和買手信。其實在這個交流過程當中，學校真的給了我們很大的自由度，他們會主動問我們的意見，只要我們有想去的餐館或景點，他們都會帶我們去。在這22天的交流中，跟我所想的截然不同，起初以為都是以學習上課為主，然後下課就是自己的自由時間。然而我每天都是過得比想像中特別充實，早上是一個半小時的上課時間，中午十二時去吃午餐，午餐過後就是逛景點行程，一逛就是利用了一整個下午，直至五時半。每天也是如此，星期日就是休息天。總體來說，是需要很大的體力勞動。
而令我印象最深刻之一就是在莫斯科去聖彼德堡的旅途中，這是第一次和一大群剛認識的朋友坐火車談天說地，第一次在火車上看日出和日落、第一次在火車上玩撲克與狼人……如果是我自己出行，一定不會這樣做。但因為今次的旅程，使我嘗試了很多以前從未試過的東西，是一個很難得、很難忘的經驗。第二就是在聖彼德堡涅瓦河上看開合橋，當我們知道要游船的時候，大家都興奮起來，可是一聽到游船時間是深夜十二時，大家的表情都呆滯了。心想為何要這麼晚才游船？然而在游船的途中，我們找到了答案。聖彼得堡原來有著大大小小共五百多座的橋梁，尤其橫跨涅瓦河上的大橋最為壯觀，為了不影響大型船隻的通行，這些橋會在半夜時，從中間緩緩打開陸續升起，讓遠洋巨輪能夠順利通過，大約打開一個多小時，等大小船隻都通過後，然後才會合上。這裡的日照時間比莫斯科還要長，記得出發時大約晚上十一時，那時才剛剛天黑，天上還在小許餘光。當我們坐在船上準備開船時，發現岸上人山人海，岸邊擠滿了人，就像除夕夜一樣。原來不論是游客，還是本地人，都愛看開合橋，實在另人嘆為觀止。上岸時，已經是凌晨二時多了。大部分同學都累得要睡著，可是俄羅斯人還是很精神的樣子，果然日不落城都不是虛名。
