Day 25! Shopping Trip!

It was raining early in the morning as we waited for our bus to arrive. We were supposed to visit the Han Kou Jiang Tan Park.

Seeking shelter from the merciless rain. It was freezing cold.
But it's okay. As long as we are together, there will be WARMTH.The visit to Han Kou Jiang Tan Park was cancelled due to the wet and cold weather. In the end, we went to the supposedly 2nd destination of the day, Han Kou Shopping District. We ran and ran under the rain towards the shopping district. We were all drenced wet and were feeling damn cold.

Nevertheless, we were still in the mood to take photos.

'Eating' in the rain.

The Macdonalds in China have a very interesting menu. As the majority of the China people are Chinese, it doesn't matter whether their food food is halal or not. Back in Singapore, our Macdonalds is selling halal food and we will definitely not see any pork-related food on the menu.

China Macdonalds outlets sell PORK BURGER. Quite tasty actually.

While walking along the streets, there were litter everywhere. Piles of rubbish can be found just outside some stalls. I wonder whether the Chinese ever heard of the word 'Hygiene'. Logically, the pile of rubbish outside your own shop would 'deter' potential customers from entering your shop. Do THEY ever thought of that ?

One pile of rubbish just at the entrance of a shop.

After about 2 hours of shopping. We went to Macdonalds again for tea-time snacks. My snack, Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

This is quite interesting yet cruel. Was walking past a shop and something caught our attention. That shop was selling small bottles with 2 fishes in each bottle. It may seem cute to some people. However, I thought it was quite cruel as the fishes will definitely die in a matter of days. In addition, they can't swim around.

Poor little fishes! Set them free!

After shopping for around 3 hours plus, we began to make our way back to our meeting place. The rain had already stopped. Yet, the weather was still freezing cold. Nonetheless, we were pumping with adrenaline to take more pictures!

Hmmm. Which move should I take ?

DAVE! NO CHEATING!!

CHIONG AR!!

From brave soldiers, we became...ULTRAMAN TIGA!Didn't manage to visit the beach park. But at least we were once at the entrance of the park =.=

After shopping at Han Kou. We were supposed to return back to WUST. However, a few of us decided to go to Wu Chang Qu to continue shopping. We thus seek permission from our lecturers. Since there was nothing else on today's schedule, we were given the green light to carry on with our plan. More than of the class went while the remainder went back to WUST to rest. Was shivering all the way as we walked on the busy streets of Wu Chang Qu. The weather was just too cold.

After our shopping trip, we went to Hu Bu Alley for dinner. Mentioned about the Hu Bu Alley in my previous post. But still, I got to say something. The food there are just so cheap. Ate so many things until I felt so bloated.

Today was quite a successful shopping trip for me. The Han Kou Jiang Han Shopping District is so big that it would take a person a lot of time to finish shopping. I bought some stuffs from the shopping district and WuChang. However, the famous brands products are MUCH more expensive that those in Singapore. For example, a pair of shoes that cost 169SGD can cost around 1130RMB here in China

Hu Bu Alley during night time.

Despite the cold night, there were still many Chinese people at Hu Bu Alley. Maybe the food are too cheap to resist.

After eating at Hu Bu Alley, we took taxi back to WUST. Along the way, we were chatting with our taxi driver. Learnt abit of the history of Wuhan. He told us that around 10 years ago, the security of Wuhan is very slack. Robberies and murders were very common. Actually, I think that most of the Chinese people had a good impression of Singapore. For example, the taxi driver told us how modern and advanced Singapore is as cmpared to China. Another interesting thing is that, almost all the Chinese we talked to, thought that we are from GuangDong because our accent sounded like them.

Okay. Time for some random stuffs. Have been here for weeks so I thought I would like to show you guys a glimpse of my room.

Our table. Duno whose pile of stinky clothes on the table! LOL

WANG WANG! Have been eating this for days. Can never get enough of it.

Pile of food on our table. Our table is so 'neat'. So proud of it.

After eating so much oily food, we need some WANG LAO JI Herbal Tea.
