Day 3 - Shopping!!

Woke up at 8 30am today, did my morning routine SLOWLY.. Got chided by Hazel and Eline for using the toilet for a long long time, comparing me to laying an egg. -.- Decided to wear 5 layers to try to keep warm today (hope it works).We heard from fathullah that it snowed for 30 minutes, but is only a little snow. We also renamed it as dandruff snow^^


We met the local students at 9 30am at the bottom of the building to visit the adjacent street to eat some local breakfast. It was very near to our dorms, so we just had to cross the streets to reach the known food street of Wu Han university. We had some steamed bread that contains different fillings. To most, it will be known as Bun^^

After breakfast, we took a shortcut through the campus to take a bus to the shopping mall to buy the necessities that we need for the trip. The bus in China is vastly different from the ones in Singapore. The bus drivers are loud and the bus is extremely packed (must beware of pickpockets).

The shopping mall (open air type)

After arrival at the shopping mall, we decided to split up to each buy what we want. The all girls team main goal is to fid boots to combat the chilly weather for our feet. Shop after shop, we still could not find the perfect pair of boots to help us survive the weather. However, after about 3 hours of non - stop searching, Meow Lin and I finally found a pair we wanted for only RMB100(S$20)!!!

Seafood fried rice

After a fruitful shopping trip,dinner is served!! We had something similar to pepper lunch, the only difference is that there is a larger variety of 'hotplates' to choose from. I ordered a black pepper beef rice plate. But it was too spicy, so I gave it to fathullah to eat, while i took his seafood fried rice.

Reflection

Becasue there will be no classes till the start of the second week, the lot of us has decided to enjoy Wu Han first, before concentrating on scoring for the two modules we will be taking here. After experiencing the public transportation of Wu Han, i have learnt a little more on the daily life of the Wu Han people. What i had observe about the behaviors about the commuters is the exact oppisite of Singaporeans. Even though the actions that they have made are considered 'taboo' in Singapore, this is what they have been doing their whole life, hence making it the way of living in Wu Han. This teaches me to keep an open mind about what i will be encountering in the several weeks in Wu Han.

P.S wearing 5 layers is still completely useless for a weather of 6 degrees and below -.-
