People It Is Sunday !! Week 1

Sunrise to a new beginning... I can never start with a good beginning.. Suck to be me. T.T
Shops selling joystick zipping pass the bus. Psss... We find ourselves outside a Buddhist temple.
I seriously have no idea what to talk-.- You know, sometime it is more of seeing that make you understand and sometime being there help you realize how important your culture are.

Zoo visit was out next destination. It is nothing similar to a zoo. A park I would say. Clean and fresh. We saw a circus performance and it look so wrong. A bear can stand like a human and do handstand on a rope ? I was like damn Even I can't even do it. How long did you manage to train him.

It was Crazy! and there was a lion show. Gosh. It was something I did not expect it to be. The zoo was much more of trees and a place for people to jog or just to take a scroll for scenery because it was beautiful as a park.

The group head out to the river and take some photo :)
End of day

OMG, It is the 5fh day 0.0

Well, I can't believe it is day 5 and the week is going to end. It is Saturday and I do not feel like it at all. Our tour guide brought us to the Yellow Crane tower ( read up yourself if you don't know what it is).
Physically, It is build on top of a hill. The hill was long and have a snake like shape. Visual was terrible as the pollution start to kick in. A few of us had a hard time breathing and I mean it. Even with a mask on it was terribly bad. In history, the yellow crane was build as a headquarter base for the warlord to control and oversee his troop over the river. It was rebuild 7 times due to the war.

After visiting and climb the magnificent tower, the bus head us to a big museum. When I say big, yes it is literary 2 time bigger than any Singapore museum. Oh yeah, I am comparing. Hahahha. Not so much of a historian myself, I find that they carries : golden plate, cup, chopstick and even spoon.

Lunch.. Oh yes.. hahaha Lunch
We had over first Street food in Wuhan. The place was famous for it noodles and smelly tofu. Haha.. Yes smelly tofu, in my believe it is no smelly at all and it is super sweat when you taste it. Perfect trust me. I also got the try their tradition food. DUCK neck and Dumplings.

Full and ready, our next destination was Hans river, it design to be an expensive shopping area for the rich and the average youths. There are plenty of top brands. Very much similar to Orchard Road and the pricing of cloths are pretty similar.

Although the pricing was similar to Singapore, our dear classmate even get a pair of pants and some interesting design. We head back for dinner and it was something on our own. Kyra group and the my side boys decide on Steamboat for dinner. Walmart it shall be our groceries.

The steamboat was delicious... Partly because we are hungry and exiting over the sound of steam boat. The pretty ladies decide to wash over dishes while we clean up the place. Everything went well and I knock out after the long chat with the ladies.

Day4... Fml I loose track

It is day 4 hell ya... But I am actually updating on day 16 ? I guess. Well, luckily I got my holy book with me to keep track of time. Alright, let get down to business. We have our Chinese lettering class... It was Borrinnggg...
The Lecturer name was MR. Chan. Although the slide and presentation was boring, Mr.Chan gave us a interesting Geography to Shopping Paradise ;)
The 2nd nearest Shopping Center was 8 bus stop away.
Yes we finally got to taste the public transport of China. It was totally a incredible expereince. We actually stood on the double decker bus!! Awesome..
It seem bigger than Singapore though.
We reach a huge shopping complex. Similar to bugis street just that it is 10x time bigger and grand.

Just check out the photo I wish I could tell you guys more.

Day 3.... People

Yi..... Er......Yi ...Er... at 8 am in the morning. That was the sound of the Fresh-man marching down the road. The students were wearing camo shirt and a track pants. While the drill instructor worn the clean white uniform. The amount of student marching in groups filled the School field. There were about 6 thousand student and they are fresh man alone. That make up a big company. Enough to send 1 human wave attack to any position. I wonders other than Wuhan, how many other school that have this huge number of students.

We finally got the chance to study in our classroom for the first time. Nothing fanciful about it. However, compare other classroom, this I could say is the best class room. It have an air-con, 3 ceiling fans, many vanish painted tables and a visualizer. Oh I forget, it is a CHALK Board!! Awesome. It has been long since I last seen one. Yeah guess what? Class was boring even though it is the first lesson.

Class end with an epic loud Ring from the school bell. Yi heng and I head out to Walmart to get the inductor Cooker. Bought it at the price of $199 yaun which is about S$40 Sing dollar. I went to look out for my tripod but unfortunately, they did not have stock in store.

Brought back and cook it with our left over beef can. Taste awesome, also we did some good deeds. We bought CHIKEN rice for one of our fellow classmate Kyra. For the past 2 days she have been complaining about food and nutrition.

In the Afternoon, we have the student interaction. It was pure fun and laughter. I can't really say much but we really enjoy as there was perform from both China Student and our Singapore student.

Done. GO HOME>> SLEEP.. WAIT I FOR GET ABOUT THE PART WHERE PPL PLAY DOTA AND GET DRUNK OVER.... Absolutely Joke that was make from Justin.

The Exciting Wuhan .... Day 2 :X

Lights...Lights..... Why you so Bright!!!! It is bloody 6.15am. What a great way to start my day. Wuhan have a weird sun rise. It was 6 and the sun is already half way up the sky. Open my room door ;D Why Am I the only one who is awake T.T. My dear room mate is still battling the haze and he is having a hard time adjusting to the environment. So I decide to let him take the extra nap, since the reporting time is 9 in the morning. I went up to change into P.T gear ( personal training gear : Running Shoe, Medi Kit, Bottle of water, Sunglasses and air mask). So it is time to Explore this unknown palace of Wuhan. Took a slow jog around the campus, meanwhile scan for exciting places as well. The campus consist of a Hill, a clock tower, 2 tennis court, a track + soccer field and many many Basketball courts. The beautiful hill gave me an magnificent bird eye view of the whole entire campus. As I jog along the path, there were chipping sound of many different wildlife. I caught up with some native birds and insects. The jogging path is not muddy nor sandy at all. It is so different from what we all use to think China would be ( old and poor) but the development have come a long way. It is cemented. Yes cemented, the whole entire path that surround this gorges hill. The Air on the air is pleasant. Clean, I would say. I had a hard time sprinting and do my conditioning on the hill as the altitude change affect my air capacity while wearing a air filter mask. Green plants surround the hill and there was a small pond. My definition of small is as big as a car-park in Singapore. I notice there were many connected trail that lead deeper into the pond area and plenty of cover grass made by man. I presume Chinese student does have a good taste for a romantic night out.

 The air was getting a little thinner than I expect so I took a U-turn, I was still in the adjustment period so intense run in thin air would cause vital damage to nerve system. Not far away from the Hill, there is a Clock tower. Tall and stand out amazingly. The tower body is made of bricks and have been spray with orange coat while the hood is painted with bright red. It look just like in any old movie. The view is stunning from bottom, however, I have to climb the flight of stairs.. YES Stairs. God damn it those stairs almost kill. Hahaha. I am just joking. It took me less than 1.40 mins to conquer those stairs. As I reach the top, I could see bits and pieces of Wuhan City. There were lots of hons and movement down in the Poly at these time. Phones shop are being set up everywhere and there were loud chanting to promote their best deal. While breeze walking back to the hostel, I counted there were 5 other rows it row make up of 4 other hostel block. Gosh, I wonder how many student live in this Poly.

By the time I reach back to my apartment, my sick roommate welcome me with a running nose. Hahaha, he look so pink together with a tomato nose, the equation is Cute. Shower and replenish my body water, we took off towards the meeting area. Mr. Hamdan is waiting for us, everyone was looking energetic. He took us to our first eating area and that shall be the main base for all MUSLIM student. Food was practically pleasant I guess. Don't worry there will be a picture.

After breakfast, we took off and head toward the mobile shop,  short walk from our living area. The telephone shop is facing the field and there were sign board and flyer surround the area. Intense confusion and quarrel again as the group could not decide on a specific plan. Took us 2 hr to settle.Like most Singaporean or a person who live in a tech-savvy enviroment, we can never live without a phone and internet. Most importantly social networks. That is what run through everyone. Communication have taken to a whole new level. 

Our Chinese counterpart, lead us to our first Shopping Center. WALMART ..... Surprise just keep on coming. A 5 mins walk from the side gate of WUHAN POLYTECHNIC CAMPUS. On our way, we mange to get some wild flying shots and experience for the first time the intense heat at noon. Warm, very warm and traffic was pretty much similar to Vietnam. What I noticed clearly is that, the motorcyclist in China is using electric power instead of powered motor run on fuel. Must fuel consumption vehicles are cars and buses. The ordinary Chinese people used electric bike. This conclude my thinking to that it is not the people who consume large amount of fuel cells. It is more the factory and they are the one who gave large amount of pollutants in the air.

There were a few others thing I pick up as well. At every traffic light or a junction, there were a tan shelter.

Inside Walmart:
4 story high and it is pretty much much similar to Vietnam shopping center. The place is extremely clean. Smoking is allow in the shopping center !! Boooya.. Hahah. Yi Heng ( another friend of mine) found a electric cooker which price about S$40. It is Damn bloody cheap I guess. While he did that I wen around and look for sporting equipment. Guess what? the weight belt is 3 times cheap. China nv fail to deliver cheap stuff. LOL

Lots of shopping, we settle our lunch at KFC. Head back to our place and took naps. YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
