Day 4 - 7 March

Today's a Saturday, the whole of Ngee Ann Overseas Immersion Program participants we to visit the East Lake, Hubei Provence Museum and Yellow Crane Tower. The tour guide was reciting all the historical facts she knew all along the whole trip, with the lack of sleep the previous night it didn't helps much, East Lake was a sight to behold the size of those lakes was so humongous that there nothing of such in Singapore, even Singapore land mass looks small as compared to the total lake area in Hubei.

This is a map of the East Lake, it's something like Chinese Garden but the view is much more majestic and beautiful.
Rode a buggy which cost 20 Yuan per person, it roughly about SGD 4.50, it's truly isn't worth the money, this taught me that i cannot live like tourist and spend 100 plus Yuan every day as i would be here for six weeks although we have more than what an average china man earns a year or less. The scenery in Wuhan is perfect, but the attitude and peoples here isn't.
As we took a group photo of ECE peoples at the entrance of East Lake, we saw couple taking wedding photo at East Lake and family going for outing at the lake, this shows that Chinese peoples live life at a much slower pace than what we have in Singapore. In Singapore everything is a rush, rush to go for work, rush to school, rush for lunch, rush for dinner, rush to go toilet and finally rush to sleep, it's a hectic lifestyle.

Next we went Hubei Provence Museum with the tour guide leading, and something out of the usual happened in the museum, tons and tons of china peoples are following out tour guide and listening to her explanation rather than us. they tail gate our tour guide all the way from the entrance till the exit this show that the china people are like sponger, they suck up all the knowledge they can until.
This Lady had been following us since we step in the museum till we leave the museum, sticking close to our tour guide to listen to her.


We saw Hashanah at Marquis Yi exhibition and took a photo with her with all the excitement, but this isn't the only time we met along the tour
Following after the museum we went to 首义街 to have lunch it's like Bugis street in Singapore but only less variety, we saw a child pass motion on the floor next the the food stall with the approval of the parent, we were all shock as in Singapore there wouldn't be such thing happening unless it's a dog rather than a human.
Lastly we went to Yellow Crane Tower, it's was really up to expectation nor living up to it's name as it more like a Hwa Pa Villa in Singapore, we played quite a amount of Yuan to go in and there isn't much to see, it isn't the famous Yellow Crane Tower originate for the ancient times.



Today i learned more about the Romance of the Three Kingdom, as Hubei is a land which the battles are fought mostly at thus it's the heart of the story
