Day 7




















Was late for the meeting time today with a group of my friends and we got scolded. We have been late for the past 1 or 2 days if i'm not wrong. Felt so sorry for the others. Anyway we took the coach bus to somewhere near the Riverbank park and while the others took a stroll there, Mr Puah, benji, clar, julian and i took a cab from there and went to a nearby church. It seems to me like, after taking cab 2 or 3 times, the local cab drivers doesn't turn on their air-conditioner but just wint down the windows. This is totally different from Singapore.

I wonder if it's because the way we dressed up or something, the people there doesn't seem like they welcome us as some of them stared at us with an unfriendly expression. Overall, the way of worship there, is kind of similar to the methodist churches in Singapore. Before leaving, we were asked to talk to the pastor and the pastor welcomed us with a friendly and polite smile.

Upon leaving, we went to a nearby hawker centre for breakfast and walked all the way back to the Riverbank park. On the way there, we sure seen a lot of interesting things that are different or cannot be found in Singapore.

Something very weird and dangerous in china is their traffic, even though there are zebra-crossing on the road but none drivers care, in fact pedestrians are the one looking out and avoiding incoming cars. What's the point of having zebra-crossing in china?

Upon meeting up with the others, we went to "Bu Xing Jie" whereby we did our shopping once again. It seems like the whole of china is having discounts due to the summer season. Had our lunch together with the whole group of logisticians except a few of them and the restaurant we went is just like the Seoul garden in Singapore. Their services are also much more better than seoul garden as they cooked for us. After lunch we went back to WUST and I had a jog around the school with a group of my peers.
