♥ 10:51 PM
We woke up at around 7.30am to wash up and had our breakfast the school canteen together with our lecturers. At around 9am, a staff brought us to tour around the campus and we were also shown to the place that we will be having our lessons every day. It was quite a long distance to walk from our hostel to the classroom. We were shown many areas of the campus so that we will be familiarise with the surroundings in the campus. Before we go for our lunch, each of us were given a card to top up some money, so that we could just tap it when we purchase our meals in the school canteen or even snacks from the school provision shop. After our lunch, we were given half day to take a bus and find our way to Lu Han shopping mall to do some shopping for winter clothing and necessity. But when we reach there, we went to different banks to check if there is any currency exchange as one of my group mate did not change china currencies before coming. There are also other shopping malls nearby, and it’s rather big. We tried exploring some places and we also brought burgers for our dinner. After that we took a bus back to school and went back to our hostel to shower. We were told that the internet was activated and every one of us went back to our room to serve the internet.I find it very convenient that we just have to top up once and we could just tap to purchase our food, it’s rather faster. However, when I and my friends were queuing up to buy food in the canteen, there were some people just came in and order their food without queuing. I realised that there’s no need to queue up, if not you will be standing there to wait and it’ll never be your turn. Today my whole group went around helping one of our group mates to check if there is any currency exchange, and it’s troublesome. I think that he should at least change some before coming to china. When I took the public bus today, observe that there will be a lady in the bus to collect the bus fare which is quite different from Singapore. Everyone was like squeezing up the bus and some of them will just keep pushing. Along the roadside, it’s the first time I see people selling pigeon as one of food.
