Day 2- 5th March (Intro to school & Free and Easy)
Had a short good sleep the night before! :) Woke up, prepared and met the rest of the group @ 0930. The lecturers brought us to tour around the campus and classrooms we will be using for our lessons. We visited the computer labs and medical clinic in the school.
Looks better than Ngee Ann's :x
It was drizzling in such a cold and freezing weather :( Thought i can adapt to the temperature, but it isn't comfortable to tour and study in winter!
We then had our lunch at the school canteen. The size of the canteen is about the size of Makan place, with a wide variety of delicious food :D We are given a card, which has a credit of 100RMB. The canteen do not accept cash. So whenever we buy our food, we just have to tap our card, and money will be deducted. So Eline Meowlin Charmaine and i ordered 4 dishes and had it with rice. It cost less 20RMB!! Cheap and tasty :)
Our food :D

We went back to our own rooms and arranged our own schedule. So we walked to the supermarket nearby, which is combined to a shopping center. We experienced something weird. It is that when we walk out from the supermarket with our bought stuff, we cannot enter again! I do not know why, but we were stopped by the security :/
Ice cream in winter! :)
Look at the wires.

After buying our needs and wants, we headed back to the hostel to keep our things before going out for dinner! The local students brought us to the restaurant nearby to have Hot Pot! :}
Duck blood is goooood! :]

Returned to our rooms for the night then :) I am shivering whil typing this post... There is something wrong with the air con :(

Reflection
When we were over in Singapore, how we wished the temperature would be colder. But now that i'm here at Wuhan, i hope and wish that the temperature would increase!! :( I finally understand how the foreign students feel in winter. It is a whole new experience to study in the cold season and i'm rather looking forward to Monday when our lessons will start. Also, i feel that the system in the canteen is rather efficient. The card operated system seems to be more effective. The students are rather lucky to have their personal medical hall in the school, which makes it very convenient for the students. This is rather unique because i belive there isn't anything like that in Singapore? Besides, it doesn't seem far when we walk to and fro from place to place though the University may be big. Unlike in NgeeAnn, where there are slopes and hills we have to climb. I feel very glad to have the group of local students helping us to meet our needs and giving us little little knowledge about Wuhan.
