It was surreal to know that so many nationalities get together in such a pristine little campus like IPU. I truly enjoyed the colourful cultural experiences there, especially the Ohanami Festival every September. A few Indonesian students and I got to dress up in our national costumes and performed Balinese dance show. I am still good friends with some of them until today. And it's nice to know that a lot of the countries that I go to, I know some IPU friends living there! What skills did you learn/ gain at IPU that help you now? I think that my time at IPU was one of the greatest milestones of my life. I learnt a lot within 3,5 years than I had the previous 18 years. It made up a big chunk of my life experience. It taught me self-confidence, independence, resourcefulness, multi- cultural approach to things, global pespectives, and ability to express myself better. It's hard to believe but before coming to IPU, I was such a nerd! (Still am now, but a better version of nerd that I was 15 years ago).

  • May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China
    May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China May 1 Labor Day 劳动节 Láodòng jié Labor Day China has several public holidays of national character. These holidays include 1 May - Labor Day. Until 2008, this holiday was celebrated for seven days, however later the Chinese government decided to reduce the number of off-days to three in favor of other traditional Chinese holidays. The history of International Workers' Day in China started in 1919, when the intelligentsia initiated insurgencies in Shanghai. Later, in 1920, Beijing and Shanghai held the first-ever demonstration in honor of all workers. Officially, this holiday was established and approved by the Chinese government in 1949. During the “cultural revolution” May Day in China was considered, almost the most important holiday in the country. Amplitudinous rallies and demonstrations across China were organized to celebrate this Day. The holiday was more of a political character. However, at the end of XX century, the situation changed dramatically. Today Labor Day in China is a sort of a cheerful family holiday. During these three days of holidays, the Chinese go to the country, meet friends, and attend solemn events. Many people visit theaters and exhibitions. The streets of the Chinese cities hold demonstrations and performances. May Day holidays is the best time to visit China, because at this period of year, the government gives permission for discounts. Not only can you visit the main attractions of the country at discounted prices, but also to go shopping. May 4 Youth Day In the People's Republic of China, Youth Day celebrated on May 4.

  • Asian Tourism Seasonality, with an Emphasis on China's Golden Week System
    This file is part of the following reference: Chen, Tingzhen (2010) Asian tourism seasonality, with an emphasis on China’s Golden Week system. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/19000 Asian tourism seasonality, with an emphasis on China’s Golden Week system Thesis submitted by Tingzhen Chen Bachelor in Tourism Management (Hons) For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism, School of Business James Cook University Townsville January 2010 Abstract Seasonality is a distinguishing characteristic of tourism, and it has economic importance thus attracting attention from the academic area as well as from the business and policy making domains. The aim of this thesis is to explore the seasonality phenomenon in Asian tourism, with a particular emphasis on residents’ and managers’ views of China’s Golden Week system. The discussion on this topic starts with a review of key aspects of seasonality in the tourism context, including its definition, causes and impacts. Previous studies on seasonality conducted in the context of Western countries are initially considered. This work is followed by an introduction to seasonality in Asian studies, with a brief discussion of Japan’s Golden Week and a focus on China’s Golden Week system which is the centre of this study. Based on the literature review, an opportunity exists to better understand seasonality in Asian tourism, particularly the residents’ and managers’ views of China’s Golden Week system. Three studies are implemented to address these research opportunities. The first study was based on secondary data analysis and it was designed to characterise the seasonality phenomenon in Asian tourism.
