Chinese students run home from school on a Friday afternoon.
At 4:15 on a Friday afternoon Chinese students are like their international counterparts: They charge head-long into the freedom the weekend has to offer.
Joe (front and center-right) was a student of mine when he was in Grade 3. He’s much bigger now. As a Grade 6 student he will write the middle school entrance exams in a few months, a lot of pressure for for an 11-year-old. He and his mates are running towards Momo Bar, a coffee and milk tea stand in an area we refer to as The Promenade. An iced-tea, sunshine and a camera, are a good way to whittle away the remaining hours of the work week.
Sounds like a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon.
I like this shot. I’d forgotten how much enthusiasm the end of the week can generate.

Looks like kids are kids, where ever they live. Nice shot, Stevo.

Robin: Yes, quite nice. A few iced teas and people watching in the sunshine – not much better than that.
Shawn: That is very true. Kids are the same the world over.

Over on this side of the strait, Friday afternoon for students means run off to afternoon buxiban/cram school. Saturday is often the same, but if the students are young enough, the sometimes get some free time on a Sunday. Provided they’ve finished their homework that is.
