Went back to Niu Xiang Square together with the guys to bring them around the shopping mall. We encountered something unpleasant experience while shopping.
Bernice and Lizhen went into a shop together to buy XiuJin's birthday present.
As the shop was crowded with shoppers and somemore the the walking area around the shop was narrow, Bernice's bag bump onto a plastic coinbank.
Eventually, the coinbank fall onto the ground and a small piece of the plastic feel off.
The shop salesperson insist Bernice to make compensation and buy the coinbank.
But, of course bernice are not willing to do that as she was pushed by other.
Furthermore, no signs like once broken, it is considered sold in the shop.
Eventually, we stood at the shop for 2o minutes and left after we unwilling to pay.
Thinking back, I broke a tomato sauce in Cold Storage in Singapore.
The staffs didn't ask me to pay but they still ask me to be careful and not to step on the broken glass.
They also help me to clean up the mess.
There are differences between the two countries in term of several ways.
We had KFC for dinner.
Before we settle down, we had a hard time finding seats for 8 people.
Furthermore, the locals love to snatch the seats from us even though we spot the vacant first.
Perhaps, we are taught by the principle of first come first serve basis.
Well, we neither fight or quarrel with them.
We just tolerant and wait for another seats.
The Yam tarts were special, which didn't sell in Singapore.
Addin on, their family feast were totally different from what we have in Singapore.
In their family feast set, they have corn and buns beside chicken wings.
Bernice and I went to Carrefour to get some grocery again while the rest wait for us at KFC
The queue was horrible and the cashier was impatient and rushing to collect money from me while I was busy searching for money.
I dislike the way they served us, to them it's parts of their job.
Thus, they are not required to be be more polite and hand the change to the customers with both hand as well as wearing a smile.
No carriers are provided at Carrefour, plastic bags are charged.
Took a cab back to hostel.
This round the taxi driver was unfriendly and did not chat with us.
This left me a impression that not everyone was friendly and behave the same way.
Back at hostel, I nearly freaked out when I saw the electrical current flowing when I plucked in my socket outlet on the powerpoint. There was no on/off button on the front plate, unlike in Singapore.
For my own safety, I will try to minmise the risk of getting electical shock.
