Day 33 - Last day for shopping

October 16 ,2010 Today was the last day for shopping before we fly off back to Singapore. So we woke up early in the morning to settle some project stuffs before setting to 江汉路again. Manage to call a few of the local students to help us in the filming.. Thanks 杨涛,郑娜 and 沈平 for the help in filming:)

Once filming is done, we went to 户部巷 to eat dumplings. Also take a walk in their small back ally where there's alot of small stalls selling different variety of food. After that, we took the ferry to 江汉路 to start our shopping. Since it's a weekend, there are alot of people and most of us are squeezing our way out to each shop in 江汉路.


Shopped from day till night, as usual my leg is tired and numb. Dinner settled in ahjisen restaurant. But before that , we went to walmart to stock up all the snacks and bring it back to Singapore before it's too late.

Once after Dinner, we all decided to go back to hostel since it's already 930pm in the night. Well for Yuhaw, Nicholas and me was totally a new experience which are different from others. Since we are a big group of people in the first place, flagging one taxi wont be enough for us. So we spilt into small groups where yuhaw, nicholas and me were together. We flagged one of the taxi and gave it to zhen zhao first since 郑娜 needs to reach hostel before 1130pm because the gate will close at that time.

Well our luck is getting bad after that. We waited for 1hour plus yet not a single taxi we could flag. While waiting for cabs, 4 public bus 588 went pass us EMPTY! But we decided to take public bus after 30mins when we couldn't find any of it. When we reached the bus stop and waited for 10-15mins there isn't a single 588. So we decided to change a location to wait for taxi. As we walked down, we passed by a bus stop and we decided to look at the information board to check on other buses. Guess what!? WE MISSED THE LAST BUS AT 10pm. At that moment three of us were really panicking! This time we decided to call Yuchuan who had already reached hostel, to cab down to fetch us back.

Well manage to get him to cab down... and we walk back to the original place. We thought that this is the end of it where we can go back to hostel, so we went to Mac to buy some drinks and food while waiting for yuchuan arrival. however when we decided to check on Yuchuan location, his phone ran out of money and unable to get through. Once again we stunned for few minutes and we decided to quickly rush out the Mac and went to the roadside to wait. Luckily we manage to spot him after few minutes and board the taxi and headed back to hostel. Whole trip took us 1hour plus near 2 hours to get back. From 930pm to 12am in the night.... What an memorable experience i ever had before flying back to Singapore.... ~_~

Self-reflection :
Time really flies, now it's already the 2nd last day of my whole Wuhan trip. starting i thought that 33 days for me in Wuhan will be very very very long, but yet it turn out to be the other way round. Well in this 33 days i have learn alot... but most of all is the friends i made. Well i will enjoy the last night in Wuhan.... Goodnight (:
