day 41
woke up early in the morning today to rushed to somewhere near yellow crane tower to buy some things for relatives and have steak for lunch at the same time. took 901 to somewhere near IT mall and transfer bus to 608 to yellow crane tower. missed to bus stop and was lost. so we went around to look for bus stop and bus which will bring us to yellow crane tower. took bus number 1 in the end. arrived at the shopping mall at 10am. many shops there was not open yet so we went to have breakfast. go to the steak house at 1230pm and took cab back to school at 2pm as we have to assemble outside the school at 3pm to take photo. social interaction at 6pm and fireworks at 730pm. today will be the second last day for me in china!! we will be leaving this school at 11am! woo~ haha.
Assignment 1
1. from this trip, i want to learn to be more independent, social and adaptable. firstly, i want to be independent is because i think by living myself and just with some friends is fresh as my family is not around with me. there will be nobody to wash clothes, cook for me and wake me up in the morning. secondly, being social is very important because it helps u to communicate better with those people you have never met or seen before. lastly, being adaptable makes you survive even if you are at country you have not go before. According to my relatives and my brother, i know that people in china like to cut queue, spit on the floor, speak loudly and when buying things, the price they gave can be bargained to around half of the price they quote.we can do that in places like beijing and shanghai. I don't know how is the life like in wuhan and the food they usually eat. i'm keen to know and find out more about the life in wuhan. My motive for learning these is to help in survive when i grow up in the social world and working life.2.my focus is on 'culture' as i'm interested to find out more about the culture in china-wuhan because every country have different culture, for example, china is a big country with many capital. every capital have different culture too. i have chosen this focus is because i feel that china is a country with many cultures and full of history. 3. QNS. 1) Is it true that people in china speaks loudly even when they are just communicating? 2) what are the kind of life china citizens are having? 3)Is it true that china's traffic is unsafe? 4)Is china filled with rubbish on the floor and people spits whenever and wherever they want? ANS. 1) china people do speaks loudly when they communicate, they can even communicate from one end to another. they volume that they are going is equal to people screaming and shouting at each other in singapore. 2) i think that in china, money is the most important thing to them. example, they will do whatever they can to earn money. whenever foreigner goes shopping, they will bring they price up to they highest. people here usually eat a lot and they are usually spicy food. 3)the traffic in china is too messy as compared to singapore. there is no divider between the road to seperate the two different ways. driver tend to squeeze whenever there is space infront. they love horning too! i realise that their cars are VERY dirty! you can never see such dirty cars in singapore. 4)i think that everywhere is a rubbish bin on china. they will just throw thing on the floor. therefore, china is very dirty. 4. i want to have more patience, tolerance for discomfort and trust in other people. firstly, i want to have more patience is because i think patience is very important. it helps you to control yourself better as you will not lose your temper so often. sencondly, tolerance for discomfort also helps you to control your temper and adapt with life even if it is uncomfortable. lastly, having trust in other people is how you get friends. if you don't even trust him in the first place, you will never make friend with him. 5. i would like to learn to be more indepent by living myself and do things myself without the help of my family members. to learn to be more socialable, i would like to interact with people whom i don't know more and make friends with them. i think that learning to be more adaptable is the hardest the to learn as we have to go to places we have not been to and not everybody can do that. by coming to china for 6 weeks is a way to learn that as i have not been to china before. day 40

day 39
free ans easy day today. woke up very late, did some IS assignment and went to fishball restaurant to had our lunch and went back dorm to do IS again. planning to go to the gym in the evening and then go to ' hu quan ' night market straight away. unfortunately, the gym was not open. so no gym today. bought only one adidas shorts today for 20Y. some of them bought it at 35Y. haha. bargain like hell to drop the price to 20Y. marc did a lot of bargaining today. help arvind to bargain all the time as he is an indian. hahaa. had fastfood for dinner. i think this the last time we'll be having dinner there and shopping there. tommorrow we'll be going to ' lu xiang ' shopping mall to shop and tommorrow will be the last free and easy day as we're leaving on tuesday! the weather here is changing to summer very soon. the temperature is similar to the temperature in singapore. no more cold weather.
day 38
went to hankou today. booked a van there and back to school.the fare was 20Y per person. reach there at around 12pm and we went to search for a steak house to have our lunch. lunch cost about 50Y. the steak was nice but the wine was not. so we went shopping at that. shopped for around 6 hours and we went back to school. hankou was so big that we could not finish shopping all the shopping malls. did not buy anything today as i do not have much money left. tommorrow will be a day to stay at dorm and complete all our IS assignment.
day 37
had interview for my mini project this morning at 1045. my project was a simple one. haha. didn't put in much effort. went to the IT mall to look for earpieces, razor mouse and MP3. i bought only one razor mouse which cost 165Y and is only 37SGD. it is 8 dollars cheaper compared to singapore. went to gym after that and then dinner. ate fried rice from the street stall. lol. gonna go back home soon!
day 36
went to somewhere near yellow crane tower for shopping. left dorm at around 1130 and reach there in 40mins time. had steak for lunch and it was very cheap and nice. lol. after lunch, it was already 130 and we continued to shop for 5 more hours and took cab back. bought two pairs of shoe again because it was too cheap and i can't resist the temptation. at last, we took a cab back. we were just too lucky to met a 'smart' driver. he is not even familiar with china. changed to another cab as he don't know how to go to our school. so the overall cab fare was 56.80Y. went to fishball restaurant to have dinner and rush to gym as gym was closing at 9pm. i think that taking a cab in china is quite risky as we don't even know where the driver is driving us to. ha.
