Day 5 - Snowing







Had to wake up at 7 30am for the first lesson of the whole trip. However I woke up due to the extreme cold again. I'm praying this does not become a habit. Took my time as usual =p and we left the dorms at 8 30am. Saw Ms Neo on the way, and so we didn't become late!!!

We had a project management lesson marathon!!! From 9 - 4pm!!! Say tired!! Guess what!!!?? It finally snowed today!!!! A full - on heavy snow night!!! After waiting for 4 days, snow has finally decided to grace us its presence. Now the bad news =( The deputy director of the department told us that today will be the coldest day of the entire trip (hence the snow), BUT after today, the temperature will slowly increase. So that means that today is the first and last day, that we can see snow =(

We decided to have a rush dinner at the nearby fast food restaurant, very similar to KFC. The only difference is that it only cost RMB12(s$2+).

Reflection

As this is the first time I have seen such a heavy snow storm, the bunch of us were naturally very excited and started to take pictures and videos. However, this is very common for the locals, as they have 4 seasons a year. The locals' reaction to us were a face that said 'Haven't you seen snow before? Is it that big of a deal?? 0.o' That is another difference between Singaporeans and the Chinese.It has become such a common affair for them that they hate it and find us weird. But to a country with only one weather, it is a fascination.

Loves, Charmaine
