|
1st: wuhan,china
my first post, my post about wuhan. the place that is freaking cold even though winter is over according to the locals. sitting on my bed in the hostel and just spent an hour just to reach this posting page because it's so difficult to come out with one url.
changi airport experienced the first day and the first night and i must say i am pretty satisfied with the conditions of everything. firstly the flight to guangzhou airport was good, and it's totally not crowded in that airport. able to grab our macdonals lunch and board our domestic flight off to wuhan airport. frequent turbulences here and there but still a smooth flight and once we reached wuhan everybody was like woohoo....because its seriously very cold. some of the unversity students came to pick us at the airport and my first impression of them was that they are extremely friendly! played with the mist that was coming out of our mouths as we speak, boarded the bus, got through yangtze river and we FINALLY reached wuhan university of science and technology. (: at guangzhou airport reached wuhan!! dinner was at some nearby restaurant which i dun have any pics of the dishes unfortunately then after that is LAST min buying of mineral water at a supermarket... checked into respective bunks, unpack, tested the toilet, settled computer stuff, and its "layering yourself time"... wore 4 layers of clothing which is still not enough as i kept waking up in the middle of the night..finally decided not to continue sleeping at around 10am plus. chinese restaurant; room AND I BEGAN MY 2ND DAY! headed to a muslim restaurant with hardy kumaran jasper and mr chong to a muslim canteen in the university. by the way their canteen payment is all by a card which i bought for 100yuan and has 80yuan value in it. so we ordered kongbao chicken, some sliced fish with veggies, green pepper with chicken, and tomato with eggs. (no pics too) took a peek at the chinese canteen.... so nxt was touring aroud the campus and shopping. walked around in the mall and check out the prices in shops like nike, adidas and levi's. conclusion: no difference as singapore after you do the conversion. so off to more important stuff which is to get our personal mugs, basin, water boiler, utensils..etc..meiyi hardy and some other of our course mates went off after that to get for everyone our china SIM card. which costs 50 yuan and has 40yuan value inside. really cheap deal cosidering incoming is free and has 40 mins free local talking time. walked back in the rain so its alot colder and after that we went to this ramen stall to have our dinner. the ramen stall; my beef ramen(4 rmb) initial plan nxt up was to join the china students for a movie screening in the LT which was specially planned on every wednesday night to help improve their english. however due to technical glitches we ended up having an introduction session. really surprising for me to know that almost all the china students have their own english name. then nth much happened aft the "orientation" so its hostel sweet hostel to start up THIS blog. overall wonderful first 2 days here.. (:
