Day 15 Weather: Sunny Had project management lesson as usual in the morning. Along the way to school , I spot some culture differences between Singapore and China. I catch a glance of how the local police removed the advertisments pasted on the lamp pole. I was shocked to see and know that it was the duties of the local polices. Back in singapore , our local polices are not responsible in removing the advertisements and their main job is to ensure our safety in the country. Furthermore, none of the advertisements are allowed to paste on the lamp poles in Singapore. All the advertisements in Singapore can been seen in media, published in newspaper, on noticeboard or even at Bus-stop. But not at lamp pole, it is illegal to do that.  Policeman removing the advertisements on the lamp pole Down the street, I also saw how the rubbish was cleared manually by the workers. They don't have a closed-up garage bin here, the locals just dump their rubbish on the open field. As in Singapore, garage truck will drive and collect rubbish away. So not to mention that, the street has an awful smell .  The workers clearing the rubbish manually. Went back to the street behind our school again as Lizhen want to get her bags and wallet. After that, Bernice suggest to go NiuXiang Square shopping mall to get her brother a shirt. We took a bus at the bus-stop outside of the shopping mall, after checking and confirming with the locals for the correct bus to board. So we were happily enjoying ourselves and looking out from the bus windows during the journey. After about 30 minutes of the bus journey, we sensed something fishy as the bus journey usually shorten and the surrounding was totally different. We didn't pass by the construction and rocky road as compare to the bus we board outside of our hostel. We immediately alighted at an unfamilar place and flag a cab to NiuXiang Shopping mall. From what the taxi driver told us, the bus driver here will force you to alight when you reach the last bus terminal. Of course, I was feeling terrified when we board the wrong bus and alighted at a totally unfamilar place. Furthermore, Wuhan is so big unlike Singapore. But, I was relieved that we alighted and board the cab before the bus driver drove us to train station Set aside that incident, we continue our shopping. We went into a vintage shop which was similar and can be found in Haiji lane in Singapore. I simply love the shop, the stuffs were beautiful and awesome. We stayed in the shop for more than 30 minutes if I'm not wrong. We bought plenty of notesbook and pens from the shop. Before heading home, we went to Pizza hut for light meal. The local Pizza Hut was two storeys high, the atmosphere was great! I love the way the staffs greeted us and welcomed us, it brighten up my day. The food tasted alright and was not as cheap as what we thought, the merely good thing was it didn't charge any service charges. Back in Singapore, we have to pay GST and Service Charges.   The utensils in Pizza Hut.   The atmosphere in the Pizza Hut   Their menu  Me and XiuJin  Me :) Foods we ordered:  I loved the creamy soup and the pie above ! We don't have this type of soup in Singapore Pizza Hut. It tasted extremely delicious.  The fried squids  Pizza. From Yankhee, she told me the pizza was soften and easy to cut compare to Sinagpore.  The curry Spaghetti THE END OF THE DAY |
