Day 12

Had our second IS lesson in the morning. This time round, it is taught by Ms Grace. Now, I know more about Wuhan. Wuhan has a population of approximately 9,100,000 people, with about 6,100,000 residents in its urban area. It is divided into three parts - Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, commonly called the "Three Towns of Wuhan”. Also, the climate is humid subtropical with abundant rainfall and four distinctive seasons, ant the best time to travel here is during spring and autumn.


These are the popular sites:
· East Lake （东湖）
· Hubei Provincial Musum （省博物馆）
· Jiqing Street (吉庆街)
· Lute Platform (古琴台）
· Yellow Crane Tower （黄鹤楼）
· Riverside （江滩）


So far, we have visited Lute platform and Yellow crane tower. Ms grace also introduced us the popular food in wuhan. They are:


· Hot and dry noodles, Re-gan mian (热干面)
· Duck’s neck or Ya Bozi (鸭脖子)
· Bean Pan or Doupi (豆皮）
· Soup dumpling or Tangbao（汤包）
· Salty Doughnut or Mianwo (面窝)
· Wuchang Fish or Wuchang Yu (武昌鱼）


She said all these can be found at 建设二路. She even drew a map to help us find our way there. However, when we reach there, there were less than 5 stalls there and the food did not look very appealing. Therefore, we went to eat MacDonalds. They also have the lunch promotion from 11-2pm and it only cost us about 3sgd for a meal. While we were eating, there was a teenager hopping from table to table to eat the leftovers from others. This is an unusual scene that we will see.

After that, we sent our clothes for laundry and jean and me went 步行街 to shop. In just within 2 hours, i bought bags, tops, dress, shoes. Therefore, to stop ourselves from spending more money, we decided to go back earlier. Before going back, we went to carrefour to purchase necessities.


Reflection:
At first, I felt sorry for the teenager as we are here having our meals so happily without having to worry about food and money yet, he is there eating the leftovers due to inability to buy food. But on second thoughts, this isn’t so. He is just like another human and is not handicap. He can find a job and earn a living by himself. But still, we are much more fortunate as we do not have to worry about money and we are well fed and protected by our parents.
