as you can see, this one is just a simple article about winners of a lucky draw competition held by a local home appliances store.

the store itself was pretty far away, and i wasn't sure i would be able to find it.

oh, we get addresses and stuff regarding our assignments by email, in case you were wondering. it was surprisingly easy to find; the store sign faced the main road.

a couple of reporters from the other papers were already there. one bad thing is i can't really understand mandarin. and when you're interacting with chinese folks in my town, you really can't afford to not understand. 

i was a bit blur at first as i asked the store rep what this whole thing was about. i remember him saying something about numbers. he was talking about the prize money the grand prize winners won. 

talked a bit with the winners, asked them how they found out about their winnings, how they felt, stuff like that.

a pretty normal assignment. it was over really fast too. took a photo of the winner and store rep, got handed a media goodie bag, and i was off.
