Day 2 of embracing china

Wow, last night was really cold! I had to get through the night with 3 layers of clothing and two layers of socks, not forgetting the heat pack. Wished i could have brought along my gloves with me. I was freezing throughout my sleep. Didn't sleep well at all!
So, we were woken up by our lovely friends seokhui and mengzhen early in the morning. Thanks ah, guys -___-". Then well washed up and headed to the university's canteen to have brunch.
Food is really cheap here. I think around 2 dollars can get you a full bowl of rice and 2 dishes. So, everyone chiped in and bought a dish each then we shared. But, the food was really oily and salty thou.

Us, at the long table sharing food!

Then, we met up at 11.30 to gather with the rest to tour around the rest of the campus together with the wuhan students. I realised, the campus is quite cool? They have soft music played at the campus. Makes me feel very relaxed early in the morning. We went to view the lecture theatres and classrooms where we have to study. The classroom was used to taught the china students english. There are alot of posters written by the students which i find it interesting!

This is the classroom. I like carpeted floorings!

Hui Miang and I!

Great way to learn english!

Seok trying to act cool!
After touring around the school, we proceed on to buy our phonecards to call home and also do abit of shopping at the nearby area. Not much luck with the shopping, but we had macdonalds! I wasn't really full from the brunch that i had eariler on so the fries at mac did fill up a tiny portion of my stomach? Then we went back to the campus and had to find dinner. Mengzhen, meiyun, fran and I walked to the nearby streets to get food. Man, they have all kinds of roadside stalls there! They even set up tent like areas for patrons to sit there and eat. However, the roads weren't really clean, it gives me the feel of chinatown? Only that there is alot more people and the stalls are more disorganized. We eventually settled on a stall and ordered minced meat noodles. Tastes quite well, but i don't really like it. Prefers the singapore's style of cooking it! Ah, talking about it makes me miss my favourite eating place in singapore =(

Looking happy, waiting for food

I'm hungry!

My cheap, good bowl of noodles!
After dinner, we went to the lecture theatre as part of the orientation too. The china students were supposed to play an english movie as part of their learning campaign for english. Then we are supposed to join them. Turns out that the movie couldn't be played. So, we had interaction time. All of us end up introducing ourself to everyone. Some students even had a singing session! It was fun! And that marks the end of second day of orientation.


Their chairs can go 180 degrees! Ah-mazing!




We were cam whoring as usual!



Bursting with people!
Its 1.20 now. And i've lesson tomorrow at nine. So early! And as usual, im wrapped in 3 layers of everything. Gonna be another sleepless freezing night!
P.S I bought my gloves! But they don't seem to keeepp me warmer? =(
