Day 26! BBQ session

Today was another free-and-easy Sunday. Did not plan to go anywhere as we had a tiring shopping trip yesterday. Slept till around 10.30A.M. Went for lunch at around 12P.M. After that, return back to dorm to do my APPG. Awhile later, went to shoot hoops with Stefen and JiaHui.

As the time reached around 4.45P.M. Went to the Cultural Village, just beside WUST. It is actually used by the WUST students for activities such as camps and BBQs. Soon, everyone, including our Chinese friends arrived and off we go to our BBQ area.

Our BBQ area. Situated just beside the lake.
The BBQ session was quite funny. Guess what ? We got the charcoals and food. BUT the Chinese students did not prepare any fire starters! So, we went around plucking huge amount of dried long grass. We then set up a fire by burning the dried grasses. It took us quite a long time the charcoals start to burn. Too ill-prepared ?

Our food. Pork on sticks!

Let's start BBQ-ing.

Another funny thing about the way the Chinese barbeque. Unlike us, they do not use a wire gauze to BBQ. So initially when we started BBQ, we left our satay sticks hanging over the pit. To our surprise, our sticks got burnt and broke into 2 pieces. In the end, our pork meat fell into the pile of charcoal.

Say Cheese!

After BBQ, went to eat supper with Dave, Jeremy, Ben and Alex at Hua Tai Street. Alex is one of the Chinese students. He is actually quite sociable. He treated us to a type of desert which I found to be quite nice. Then, we chatted about each other's life. He was telling us that Wuhan is actually so big that he himself had not been to all the places in Wuhan yet. It made me feel that Singapore is really just a SMALL RED DOT on the globe. I think the chatting session brought our relationship with our Chinese friends closer.

After eating and chatting, we got to rush back to school. This is because Alex would get scolded by his hostel management if he return to his student hostel after 11 P.M. He was telling us how envious he was of us as our lives are not as restricted as theirs. That's all folks. Got to sleep already.
