Woke up early in the morning with one of my bunk mate taking pictures of my sleeping position. I went out all my peers searching for breakfast but to our surprise, all foods are sold out by 8am approximately. For Singapore, majority started hunting for their breakfast at around 8 am plus but for China, breakfast foods are mostly sold out by 8am. This shows the difference between our culture.
First programme of the day was the welcome speech by WUST. All the VIP of WUST came down for the welcome speech and this shows just how much they respect/support the school’s collaboration. The speech was delivered in a formal way and this shows that they are really serious. The speech ended in around 20 minutes.
Straight after the speech, Mr Wong told us we will be having a competition with the local students and he will provides us with the balls. I’m seriously looking forward to playing sports at a foreign country. He brought us around the school, showed us where our lesson will be held and after that, to the shopping district. Due to time limit we had to gather and return to our bunk. I ended up having 2 pieces of bread for my breakfast and lunch with Nutella spread. All thanks to Julian for providing me with this.
We met up in the afternoon again to settle our communication problem – buying a “Hi-card” so as to be able to connect to our peers as well as parents. It took us the whole afternoon as we went to a wrong shop in the first place. The workers there do not know anything about using a “Hi-card” for calling globally and we have to go here and there to another shop to solve our doubts. This shown us that in China, even if the workers know nothing, they can still works in a specialized shop. As compared to Singapore, this is something which we seldom find. Every workers hold a minimum criteria in order to work in a specialized shop. However it is still a good thing that the worker was willing to bring us to another shop to solve our doubts though we walk here and there a few times but their perseverance are commendable.
Last programme of the day was to search for potential food for our dinner. My peers and I was able to find some cheap and delicious fried rice sold near our dormitory. Dinner was seriously great.
WAiting for the others to assemble and go for the welcome speech ceremony

The day/night market
Look at the amount of smoke coming out from the day/night market. This place is very crowded especially in the night
