Today was the 2nd day in China, Wuhan. As Told yesterday, we are all trying very hard to put Singapore behind and adapt to new environment and happily enjoying every moment of it and I knew that everyone in the class would definitely do a very good job in adapting with the support of one another.
My roommates and I Jumped up from the bed realizing that it’s 7.40am and we were all stunned as the meeting time for us is just 5 Minutes away. We did a quick brush up and rush to meet our teacher who will be bringing us to Breakfast. Upon reaching the restaurant, we realize that all the food had already been sold out. We actually personally experience the culture of China, whereby breakfast was taken between 6.30 am– 7.00am. In Singapore, we seldom find any stalls opening at 6.30am.
We had “Man Tou” for breakfast today. It was just a plain bun and lots of students were reluctant to eat and therefore we went to back streets. Although some of the food there was quite unhygienic, but we chose the stall and purchase goods from the most neat and tidy stall. As I’m a vegetarian, I could only eat egg prata.
Next up will be the welcome ceremony by the Vice-person in charge of WUST. Seriously, I could actually felt the sincerity of the staffs of WUST which make it as comfortable as possible and I feel that we student should actually appreciate.
Soon we went to purchase stuff that is needed such as oil, egg and etc. Another thing that I had observed is that China is definitely a very big country that is needed to walk from place to place. We took half an hour walk to the super mart and another half an hour Stroll back to the hostel. After unpacked, we went to lunch as well as to familiarize with places around the university and I am quite confident that I will not get lose in WUST after today. Felt really happier as I’m quite home-sick yesterday. It’s definitely an experience to stay in china for the coming 40 days.
In the afternoon, Mr Phua brought us around to buy china prepaid card which I think will definitely be cheaper when we contacting with students in Wuhan. From there, we realize that China does not work systematically. Changing of Phone policy without informing the Shops that is selling the product wasted the whole afternoon of ours. We Waited and waited yet lots of problems happened. One of our classmates called his parent and we bought another type of Prepaid and finally we settled down with a proper china prepaid.
Dinner Time, we had our snacks from the small streets behind and again as a vegetarian, I ate fried potatoes. Internet access was not granted to us yet due to some delay. We were not in our room when he came to fits the internet access.
That’s the end of day 2 and the beginning of year 3
