Day 23
Activity
As usual went for our breakfast today and went for lesson. But mr ma is not here today. He hurt his ankle, since yesterday. So mr chua came in and relieve mr ma. We were told to do our journal and post it to our blog, mr chua also informed us that the photo essay will be change to individual work instead of group work. I think this is to prevent some lazy bums to leech their teammates work. So that’s all for the morning. Afternoon mr ma came back and joined us for lesson. He looks fine, I suppose he is feeling better. So did another practice for tomorrow’s theory test. After that went to canteen 3 to exchange some CDs. Went back to dorm and went for dinner at 7. Came back to our dorm and did some uploading, did some revision on our theory test. Tomorrow we will be going to the optic fibre and cable factory to see how they process and how they actually make them. Mr chua told us it wasn’t easy for us to get a chance to tour at the factory in china. So I think it is a rare opportunity for us. So sleeping early tonight. OK!! Nights.
Conclusion
First theory test in china. Compare to Cprogramming I think that I understand APPG better. Because APPG is more easier to understand and more straight forward. As for the studying process I think that APPG is easier and able to remember the codes. Hope that the test tomorrow will be easy and what I learn and study will come out. Nights!
Day 24
Activity
Ok. Went for our breakfast and boarded the bus. The bus was rather spacious today compared to the one on our last trip. so we manage to get ourselves a seat and there are seats left. As the last trip we didn’t manage to have seats for everyone of us so we had to seat on peoples lap. So the journey begins. We reached the factory at about 45mins and we waited for the other group before we proceed with the tour. So we manage to see the making process for the optic fibre. Because the person told us that the company wants to keep the making process of the cable as a secret to prevent their competitor to overtake them. So we had the tour. After the tour the whole group took photos together at the lobby of the factory as taking photos in the processing area are not allow. So after all the things we head back to WUST and we went for our LUNCH!!! Woohoo. After the lunch we went back to our dorm to do more revision on the theory test. We head to the class at 330pm as the test starts at 4. Ok after we got the paper I flip through and I think the test wasn’t that difficult as those that the teacher has given us. We proceed with our test and after the test we had dinner as most of us are lazy to come out at night. After dinner we brought some bread and stuff for tomorrow morning as we have got tour tomorrow. So that’s all for today tomorrow need to wake up at 7. Ok guys. Nights!
Conclusion
I think that the time is really flying went you are having great time. As time pass, we realize that we are already at the fourth week. We already finish our common test for APPG. So we are going back in 2 more weeks. Ok. The weather is getting colder here. Woohoo.. Better enjoy more of this cooler weather before we get back to Singapore. Got to get some stuff at tomorrow’s trip. So okay! Nights.
Day 25
Activity
So we all woke up at 7 today and wash up. Had our breakfast at the dorm. We reached the meeting area but the bus is late so we waited for the bus in the rain. The bus was late for 15mins. So meanwhile we got ourselves some hot drink to keep ourselves warm. After that we boarded the bus and head to hankou. Actually we were suppose to tour the park there but due to the bad weather the guide changed the plan and let us have our free time and shop there. Instead we started eating there first, we ate at the fast food restaurant call DICOS. Their food is horrible and also services. Ernest started taking photos there but were stopped by their staff saying that we are not allowed to take any photos there. After we eat and we started our shopping adventure there. We went shop to shop to look at clothes and stuff. I brought one hoodies there. For 150 yuan but the original price was 210 yuan. It was like 30 plus SGD. WORTH IT LA!! After all that shopping we went back to our starting place to meet the rest and head back to WUST. But we are allowed to drop by some places. So almost the whole group dropped and went for more shopping. We went to a place near yellow crane tower, which was introduced by Dave. We got our pirated original there. And it is much cheaper than in Singapore. So after we had got all our stuff we went for dinner at a nearby food street. They sell a lot of variety there. But we decided to sit down and eat. We happened to pass by a soup bun stall and we suddenly have the craving for it, so we went in to eat. Ok the bun was IMBA!! Super nice can!! It is much better than those we had near our school. After we finished our buns we met the rest and head back to WUST. We shared cab back as we think that it was much convenient compare to bus. So we reach WUST and the fare was 50 yuan. Waited for the rest to reach before we head back to our dorm. We went to bed after that as it was a very tiring day for us. Nights!
Conclusion
I think that we always need to be more prepared when we are going out. Like today we didn’t bring our umbrella and it is raining quite heavily and no choice we had to get an umbrella today. Yeah!! But I realized that the number of sales promoter in one shop can go up to 30 in one shop. The number was incredible. But their attitude is quite good and they have the simile on their face all the time. It is like 30 people smiling at you so feeling a little awkward too. Compare to Singapore their service here is way better. So don’t be fussy. I realized that everywhere we go people will ask where are we from. Maybe we have the typical Singaporean face. I also realized that china people really can create fake stuff. Even if you are carrying the genuine stuff, your stuff will look fake when you are carrying it here. So that’s all for today. Tiring day. Nights!!
Day 26
Activity
Ok today is SUNDAY!! We woke up at 930am today as we are going to the IT mall to get some stuff. So after we woke up we went for breakfast and went off. Luckily the bus ride today wasn’t that long but still that pack. We manage to squeeze into the bus and reach our destination in 40mins. So when we reach there we went to look for our MP4. We scanned the shops and compared the price. We got 7 MP4 in total with the price of 235yuan each. It was OK but I think we can still bargain for better price. Maybe because we went there in the morning so they wouldn’t want to give us too much discount. So after we brought our MP4 we went to look for Ernest tripod for his camera. He brought it at 500 yuan and it is only 113SGD. Singapore did sell this brand of tripod but it cost around 180SGD so I think that this is a good bargain. After we had all got our stuff we head back to WUST to have our lunch and the BBQ at night with the local students here. When we got to the BBQ pit at the cultural village. We saw that they have no proper BBQ pit and fire starter there. So we picked up dried grass and some charcoal to start the fire before we can eat. By the time we started the fire the sky had already darkened and we need to depend on our torchlight for light. As the place there was in total darkness. We finish our session quick and went out to have something to eat as it is not filling. So after eating we went back to our dorm and rest. Nights!
Conclusion
Everything that you buy in china you must bargain for the best price that you can get. I think that different countries have their standards and their style. Maybe they like this kind of BBQ style. They like to BBQ food that we usually not BBQ in Singapore E.g. cucumbers. Okay that’s all for today! Nights!
