In Omnia Excellentia 

We are excited to share some wonderful news with you this week! Nine students and three teachers from the Shenzhen campus in China had the incredible opportunity to visit our school and explore the vibrant cultural scene in Budapest.

本周，我们很高兴与大家分享一些好消息！来自中国深圳校区的九名学生和三名教师莅临了我校，并探索了布达佩斯充满活力的文化氛围。

During their visit so far, the exchange group, together with some of our students, embarked on a fascinating journey through history at the Retro Museum. They were able to witness the evolution of technology and pop culture from the 1960s to the 1990s. From retro cars to vintage household appliances, the students were captivated by the nostalgia and uniqueness of the exhibits. 

迄今为止，交流团与我校部分学生一起，在复古博物馆开启了一段精彩的历史之旅。他们目睹了从 20 世纪 60 年代到 90 年代科技和流行文化的演变。从复古汽车到老式家用电器，学生们被展品的怀旧感和独特性深深吸引。

Additionally, the students put their problem-solving skills to the test as they tried their luck at an escape room. Working together as a team, they solved puzzles and deciphered clues in a race against the clock. The challenge not only tested their intelligence and critical thinking, but also fostered teamwork and effective communication.

此外，学生们还在密室逃脱中一试身手，考验他们解决问题的能力。他们作为一个团队，在与时间的赛跑中解决谜题，破解线索。这项挑战不仅考验了他们的智力和批判性思维，还促进了团队合作和有效沟通。

To further immerse themselves in Hungarian culture, the students paid a visit to the House of Music. Here, they delved into the rich musical heritage of Hungary, discovering composers, musicians, and traditions that have shaped the country's cultural identity. The Sound Dome took them throughout the landmarks of Budapest with a musical accompaniment and the permanent exhibition was a fully interactive journey from the development of the human voice to modern trends, in this "palace of musical miracles".

为了进一步了解匈牙利文化，学生们参观了音乐之家。在这里，他们深入了解了匈牙利丰富的音乐遗产，认识了塑造匈牙利文化身份的作曲家、音乐家和传统。在音乐的伴奏下，声音穹顶带他们游览了布达佩斯的地标性建筑，而在这座 "音乐奇迹宫殿 "里，常设展览则是一次从人类嗓音发展到现代趋势的全面互动之旅。
