Day 7 - Warning !! Blog strictly for 18 Above…

September 20, 2010 our second IS class in WUST. Ms Zhang is teaching us about china’s politics. Give us a better understanding on china politics and briefly tell us about their state council. Also I understand from her that that any Chinese citizen over at the age of 18 is able to accept and abide by Party’s constitution and policies. This means that I am also be able to join their politics practices if I am china citizen now.
Up next, new campus tour at another University in Wuhan!

My Dinner, 土豆炒牛肉盖饭

Self-reflection :

Today's trip to the new campus of WUST is an eye opener for me. Their campus is roughly 5 to 6 times bigger as compared to Ngee Ann. Well there's two things i would like to say. First is the "soldiers" i saw in the campus. In China, i think that its compulsory for everyone to be a "soldier" for atleast a month. This is part of their learning activity. Both females and males are required to learn how to march. Or i should say basic military training. I think as compare to singapore National service, theirs was just like a school CCA activity which train them to be more discipline. They don't go under a tough training encountered in NS.
As for the second thing was interacting with the local students. They are very friendly towards us. Well i have chat with a few of them and i notice most of them are active into sports. That's the reason why the campus have so many facilities for their students. Their life compared to our studying life in singapore is different. They will normally exercise daily as compared to me in Ngee ann, was slacking when i have any breaks in between. Well I guess its time for me to exercise when i get back to singapore. Living a healthy way needs more exercise! HAHA

Day 6 - 36 degree CITY TOUR

September 19,2010 touring in the city at 36 degree early in the morning. Woke up very early in the morning at 7am, and prepare everything within 10mins. When everyone is ready, we board the bus and off we go to our first station to 东湖 (East Lake). There are total of 4 stations which we are touring around Wuhan City. 东湖, Museum, 黄鹤楼(Yellow crane) and 江汉路. Today is another blog which pictures will show your everything about the 4 stations I mention.

Alright let me talk a little about 东湖. It’s very beautiful lake which consist of a lot of trees planted beside the lake. The whole environment is very refreshing and I think that place is the only place which I can smell fresh air!





























Well next place was to the museum. This museum is very beautiful but before entering, there’s a security check which is very strict. Water bottles are not supposed to bring in and all the belongings need to go under the scanner to check. This is like going through the custom immigration!
Inside the museum there’s a lot of the artifacts. Here are some of it.








































Next is lunch time at a quite high class restaurant. There’s around 8 dishes 1 soup. The taste of the dishes are as usual, very oily. Well here are the picture


8 Dishes ,1 soup LOL the soup have come yet :p

After









Yellow crane tower is our third stop. Well it’s a very beautiful place with magnificent views from the top of the tower. The highest level was 9 story.




























Lastly was going to the 江汉路 which we have been there at yesterday. So didn’t do anything but just went to Starbucks to get ourselves a drink since the weather is very hot. After that, we took the bus back to hostel. The other people went back to their bunk but Yuhaw, Hanhui and me went to the back street there to buy some food. Well Yuhaw and I went to 柠檬乐 to eat our dinner and went back bunk to rest.. day 6 ends here…












Self-reflection:
Finally get the chance to visit a tourism area in China, Wuhan. Felt very excited and anticipated. First impression when I reached 东湖 I was like WOW. The view was very beautiful and the air is fresh. Lots of trees planted beside the lake which makes the whole atmosphere exactly the same on TV. Second fascinating spot was the 黄鹤楼 ( Yellow Crane Tower). The whole areas give me a feeling that I was teleported back to the old days in china few thousand years ago. The structures of the streets and the tower are magnificent. I love the top view from the tower at the highest level. The only part which is pity is the air in Wuhan, since its very pollulated some of the views are very blurred. Well I hope that the air pollution will get better like Singapore so that more and more people is able to enjoy such beautiful scene … Signing off now, needa do PM T_T bye bye !

Day 5- Food All the way, SHIOK AH :D

September 18, 2010 Well today was the first shopping spree for the week. It’s the FREE AND EASY Day where everyone got prepared and 11am and off we go!!! We walked out to the nearest bus stop and take 588 to 汉江路for shopping. Well the place is crowded and its filled with lots of shops. Well today my blog will be slightly special. There’s a phrase which says “ A Picture Shows A Thousand Words” instead of describing pictures will lead your throughout the whole journey in my blog. From start of the day till the end of the day. Filled with food, streets and many more…. So let’s get STARTED !! :D

Walking to the bus stop

On bus :D

This is 汉江路. Its the place which is full of Shopping centres and food !


This is in a dumpling restuarant ( 大娘饺子) Sold alot different types of 饺子




Before
After

Well, its so nice that we 4 people, Liangxun Han hui Yuhaw and me total order 60 dumplings and we still order some side dishes.

After that, we went to another area by taking a ferry across the Yangze River. there are lots of food for us to eat. So we settle our dinner at there with lots of nice food with us. Here are someof our pictures! :D

This i a cruise i guess, when i was taking the ferry! :)

i drank this 3 times today, it's dam nice 凉茶wooo!!

Self-reflection : Today was a great day for me. Finally got the chance to go to other areas for shopping and sight-seeing. Well what i should say was comparing to sinagpore and wuhan, their shopping malls are roughly the same just that for the pathway wuhan is much more bigger as compare to singapore. Also today i saw a young boy doing some street performance in the middle for the pathway to earn money. I think that it's a very sad because that little boy was just around 4-5yrs old and their parents are forcing them to earn money while they are sitting aside looking at him. Well i guess it's something which we should learn from. We must be glad that our parents are able to give us everything we want. Not like the little poor boy who need to do street performance to earn money. Okay thats all for today, very tired now after whole day of walking , Cya guys (:

Day 4 - Chinese Culture?

September 17, 2010 First IS lesson of the trip! Woke up early morning but still almost late for the first IS lesson. Well, YuHaw, Han Hui and me got no choice but to run there. We manage to reach on time to prevent ourselves from bring fine. (Heng ah!) Starting the lesson, Ms Zhang our IS lecturer are introducing to us about china culture. To my extend, I am shock when she is able to speak English fluently. She go through the whole lesson was talking about how china develop, grow in the economy. Also she talk about the seasons climates that china will encounter and the celebrations that china has such as the Lunar new year and the national day.

Eating bread outside the class, Break time :3

Okay let me give u a simple comparison between Singapore and China.
First climate, Singapore doesn’t have four seasons, while china has four seasons.
Second, they celebrate their lunar new year for 1 week while Singapore 3 days (Sad T_T) These are some of the most simple comparison between Singapore and china. So after a 2hours plus of lecture, our class finally ended at 12pm. We had our lunch at the canteen and after that we proceed to another lesson at 130pm.

As usual, lessons starts punctually and ends early. Today’s lesson was doing assignment where she teaches us how to do the NOA and stuffs. Well her teaching was clear and also has some humor included so that the lesson won’t be boring. After lesson, everyone went back to their own bunk and take a rest. Until dinner time, some of us join Ms hock and Mr Chia to a restaurant call 柠檬乐 to eat. Well it’s like normal 煮炒 where we just order and wait for the food to come. Just for information, in china, their taste is more stronger so we need to tell them to reduce more SALT and OIL. Once reduced = Singapore taste ^.^

After dinner, Ms hock went off while we guys walked around the streets and proceed back to bunk after some shopping….

Self – reflection : Second day of lesson in wuhan, getting used to it with this kind of life now. Woke up early in morning , crap around with my bunkmates before going to class. Well I treat it as a kind of bonding with them and hope there’s more fun and laughter as it goes. Cheers , Bye all !

Day 3 - Wuhan, study n PLAY AH !!

September 16, 2010 was the start of our first lesson in Wuhan. Woke up at 830am and start preparing for our lessons. Packed all my stuffs and we set off at around 850am. Well, we cannot afford to be late for lessons because later comers will be fined. Today’s lesson is project management. Ms hock is our lecturer for this module. Due to her schedule, she is unable to teach us in the morning so Mr Chia took over her to give us a brief introduction on project management. Lesson starts from 9am sharp and ends around 12pm

Mr chia teaching us..










After our lesson, we went to the canteen to have our lunch. In Wuhan, those students will normally take their lunch at 11plus am, therefore when we went there, most of the stalls are already closed. No choice, we left no choice but to order from the only stall which is open. The food is still alright, just that in china, their food is very oily. Once we finished our lunch, we went to have a walk at the street behind our hostel and proceed back to class again.




















炸酱面








Class ended early at 3plus so everyone went back to hostel to prepare to go to “Shi Dong” ( a street name ) with the local students there. “Shi dong” is a place which has more varieties of things to see and has a shopping mall. We walk out to the nearest bus-stop to take a bus. Whole journey roughly took around 20mins. Once we reached there, its own time own target where everyone starts to shop and look around in the shopping mall. As for the guys, we all walk together in the shopping mall and after few hours all of us end up in the arcade. I notice that the arcades are much bigger as compared to Singapore and there is more variety of game consoles too.

Once we played finish all our tokens in the arcade, we all went to eat dinner in the food court. As usual, the fried rice I took is oily where my lips are so shiny after eating it. After dinner we went to back to gather and took the public bus back to hostel. Here marks the end of my day 3 life in Wuhan ….


This is the fried rice i ate










Self-reflection :
Personally feels that I am getting used to it with my lifestyle in Wuhan now. I felt comfortable with my bunkmates and everything now as compared to the past few days. Even though there might be some inconvenience such as the mineral water need to be brought from the Mini-Mart/ Supermarket and laundry, but overall its good to stay here. Local students are very friendly and helpful towards us. To be honest.. I am ENJOYING NOW !! Cheers (:
