Day 4 - Theme park!

Dragged myself out of bed this morning at 7 50am, you may ask why such a weird timing. Because... I WOKE UP DUE TO THE EXTREME COLD!!! -.- Went with the Eline, Meow Lin and Hazel to wash our clothes!!! Those who know me extremely well, will know that I NEVER do housework =p So you people surprised?? Ahem ahem, hehehe=p We just went to the nearby laundry shop to let the auntie wash it for us. Desperately cheap, RMB4(S$0.80) only!!! Inclusive of helping you dry the clothes too!!! Jealous much??





After sending our clothes for washing, we met the guys for breakfast at the nearby food street. Saw Ms Neo coming out from her room for breakfast too, so we ate together^^ After viewing all the choices that we have, we decided on wanton soup, glutinous rice that looks like carrot cake and xiao long baos (chicken and vegetables). Yumz.. =)

Having our breakfast took us 1 hour, which still leaves us with 1 hour before meeting the local students to play for the day.. It rhymes! Decided to sleep for a while, tooo tired. Scheduke for fun today shall be theme parks!!! It is also a good choice to see the difference between Singapore and China, in terms of fun ;D






Before reaching the theme park, there is still some distance to travel and on the way, there is street food!! We bought candid fruit and a type of sweet bread (can't resist!! >.<) In the theme park, we tried many exciting rides that will make most puke (for instance; roller coaster, inverter, swings and pirate ship). During the time that we were in the theme park, we saw many old ladys that are trying to beg for money. My heart goes out to them, however both the local students and Hazel said that when you decided to donate to one old lady, the rest will swarm to you. So it is best that you hardern your heart and ignore them. =( Back to the happy time, we found a brand of hot dogs that uses only the fatty part of the pig to make the hot dogs. Absolutely awesome, had two of it!!! One interesting fact about ancient theme parks, the female toilet does not have doors to their cubicles. Don't believe me??? Look Below =) Find the door missing yet??





Once the awesome fun ended at the theme park, we went for dinner at the Kai Wei Buffet house. It only cost RMB48 (about S$10), which is relatively cheap. Took lots of beef,but the crazy guys took alot more then us, about 10 plates in total!!!! Crazy much??

Since we were too tired, we decided to head back to rest for the upcoming day ahead!! 6 hours of lessons!!! 0.0

Reflection

Today was the same as yesterday, it was the weekends, so we did not have to study. Just from the theme park, you can instantly see a huge difference in the way the Chinese and Singaporeans have fun. Singaporeans always get the latest and most expensive toys that they can play with(example; PSP, XBOX and Wii) ad still get bored from all of these after a period of time. But the Chinese are able to keep entertaining the weekends with a very old amusement park. I can also tell that the chinese are very generous to their guests. For these past few days, the local students have been agreeing to our every little whim and demand. While, we have not considered that they may have to handle their personal lifes as well. Even though, like us, they have lessons starting at 9am tomorrow, they still asked whether we want to see the scenic sights late into the night.

Loves, Charmaine
