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!!!
