Day 2 - 5 March

Couldn't hook up with WUST Internet yesterday night thus i'm unable to skype back to Singapore,想家, home is still the best place on earth. China isn't as efficient as Singapore we need to wait for them to slowly validate our Internet accounts. Thus we did out campus tour of WUST with our coordinators, WUST campus was quite big, bigger than Ngee Ann and the hills and slopes here are steeper than Ngee Ann, as usual LSCT block was the furthest from the main entrance just like Ngee Ann. We would have our lesson at International Language School which is 10 min walk from our service apartments. Our two Lecturer, Mr Chua and Mr Ma and Mrs chua.

We had to find out way to 鲁汉广场 which is so so big, it's bigger than four vivo city, although it's quite big, there not much thing we could find there, shopping in China is quite limited as China isn't as developed as Singapore thus some International high street brand like AX, Zara or even Topshop, but i'm amazed with the outdoor adventure shop as it does sell gore-tex jackets which is quite expensive.


It's quite cold out there, somehow we managed to find a Starbucks and the price of the coffee there is the same as Singapore which make me wonders how they earn normal working class Chinese?


One thing special about the mall is that there is no climate control such as air-conditioner as they use nature climate, as Wuhan is quite hot during the summer i would like to see how they do their shopping as i'm quite amazed by it.
China MacDonald was a disappointment as compared to Singapore MacDonald, their serving and service isn't really comparable to Singapore, the picture is a Pork burger, it's quite cheap as compared to other international franchise brand such as Starbucks
China public showing of affection, this is the first time i saw couple kissing for an hour or so, don't they feel breathless? perhaps in China culture they feels public petting is acceptable. It isn't my first time in China seeing couples kissing or hugging in public for prolong time unlike Singapore.

This is how the mall looks like at night, and this is the place I waited for Mr Ma and Mr Chua which they never comes, and i took the public bus back to campus to meet them at our service apartment for nightly debrief
