Day 13: City Tour - Shopping

Today is the 2nd day of our weekend activities to a shopping street for shopping. Woke up at around 7am in the morning, prepared and got ready to meet up with the rest of the people at the WUST administrative block at around 8.30am in the morning. After which, we set off and the bus journey from WUST to our destination is approximately around 2hours. Thus, the same routine happens, all of us fell asleep on the bus.

After some time, we finally reached our destination. We were brought to some park which shows the intersection of the 2 rivers. Over there, there were many vendors selling kites. We were given around 30mins free time to go around touring and taking some photos. There was this particular vendor who releases a very long kite into the air. Here are some of the photos taken at the park!

After the park, we walked quite some distance down the street before we reach the place which we will have around 4 hours of free time to tour and shop around. All of us walked around, had our lunch and continue to shop. We came across several interesting shop names along the way. Here are some photos of our shopping time!

Hopeshow

Time flies. Soon it was time for all of us to gather back to take the bus back to campus. The bus journey was around 2 hours as well and we fell asleep on the bus. Rested in our rooms for awhile before heading out for dinner.

On a side note, one of our members, jun ru was down with food poisoning and had been in the hospital for several hours on a drip. Get well soon!

Alrights! That’s all for today! Here are some interesting photos taken along the way! Enjoy! :D

My Reflections:

Based on the past 13 days which I had been here in Wuhan, China, I realised that any place, any area, any corner is a smoking area for everyone. As we walk anywhere, we are able to smell the smoke of a lit cigarette somewhere near us. This was rather a disturbing sight as we are all used to smoke-free conditions and environments which we are all experiencing back home in Singapore. This is due to the several measures such as restricting the places for smoking as well as fine. This is a good measure as we will not inhale in 2nd hand smoke which is harmful for our health. At the same time, it also improves the air conditions.
