Lunch.. Their fried rice and noodles has alot of variety to choose from.

And also me and Yoke May realised the locals love to frown making them look abit more fierce looking. Those working in the shop and walking on the road.

small spoon, big serving portions and cheap price (SGD 1+)= their style


After lunch off we went shopping at the nearby mama shops. Which has almost everything you need in the Hostel. COOL! So we went around like aunties and uncles buying all the daily necessities

Around 6 plus in the evening we decided to go out and hunt for some snacks. And we saw roadside stalls stalls that were not there in the afternoon. Actually they are quite clean except for a few flies here and there which is quite expected.

Photobucket
BUT!! what the place is lacking of is RUBBISH BINS! Its really hard to find bins here in Wuhan unlike in Singapore... Rubbish is Everywhere! In the drain, on the grass, in the Water fountain blah blah blah...

Photobucket
okay and i find this really interesting. Lots of people playing pool OUTdoor

Photobucket
Theres alot of tables there.. cheap cheap~ just a few yuans i think?

Photobucket
Went around looking at the roadside food stalls and the more 'ulu' place down the road

Photobucket
and they sell this kind of mini watermelon that i dont think can be found in Singapore?
.. Its just slightly bigger than ur palms


and there is these bbq stalls there, their taste is heavenly good, but also heavenly SPICY! They spray chilli and pepper power like FOC.

Handroll which includes hot dogs, crushed YouTiao, salted egg, salted veg wrapped with glutinous rices. It tastes good but might be considered salty to some. JUST 3RMB = less than SGD $1. CHEAP!!

REFLECTION:

In Singapore normally I'll be lazing at home waiting for mum to buy all the neccesities needed at home. Seldom would i go buy all these Water boiler, pails etc. Suddenly i feel so independent away while away from home. Me and Yoke May compared prices of the items in order to Saveeee!!

The traffic in Wuhan seems to be really messy. At a traffic light there is no green man or red man flashing like in Singapore and you will also have to look out for incoming cars even when it is red light. Some motors or car might just come charging and honking at you as its your fault for crossing the road and not because of their improper driving.

And also I realise something very different compared to Singapore will be the words frequently used in our daily life. Words like Excuse me (不好意思), Thanks (谢谢) and Sorry (对不起) are seldom used over here. Like for example when they wants to cut in between you and another person they will either squeeze or push you out of the way no Excuse Me said. When they accidentally bump onto you no Sorry were said. Whenever we said Thanks to the storekeeper they'll feel kinda happy and weird. HAHAs that is what i feel.
