Day 17 !
We presented our OIE project in the morning .
We went back to the dorm to discuss what we’ll be doing for the PBL reflection presentation .
After that , we went to eat ‘zha jiang mian’ at the back alley .
It was delicious !
The owners of the stall actually can tell that we are from Singapore !
Actually , many other shop/stall owners also can tell that .
We chatted with them as we eat .
After that , we walked to the pharmacy near the greenery café to get some information for the project .
However , they were very unfriendly to us so we went to the pharmacy at the back alley .
After reaching there , we realized that the pharmacy only sells western medicine .
We were disappointed .
Fortunately , she suggested another pharmacy to use called ‘ma ying long’ and even told us how to get there .
We went back to find her for three times before being able to find the place .
We were very grateful as we didn’t purchase any drugs from her and yet she still help us out .
The place was huge and nicely furnished !
I was very impressed .
We then interviewed the pharmacist there and asked him many questions .
All our questions asked were answered willingly and professionally .
He even helped us to make an appointment with the physician there .
All four of us got our consultation for free and we have to decide if we want to purchase the herbs he prescribed .
After that , we met up with Mr Imran to have dinner together :)
The place he recommended was quite far away so we have to take the bus .
It was my first time taking a bus in China !
The bus ride was quite similar to Singapore’s except that it is much jerkier and the bus driver is a little reckless at some times .
After around 30 minutes of bus ride , we finally reached the place .
The first word that came out of my mouth was ‘WAHHHH’ when I first saw a long lane with people selling many things at both sides .
We walked through the whole lane and reached the start of another long lane selling street food .
The streets was very crowded and lively and there was a wide variety of food to choose from although a few stalls were selling the same kind of food .
There was another place that sold street food indoors , tables and chairs were set up so that people are able to enjoy the food they bought there .
There were a few stalls selling fried cocoons , I was too scared to try it but managed to take a picture of it ^_^
We then went back to the long lane of street food to buy the food we want to eat .
There are some street food sold that are rarely (or never) seen in Singapore , such as fried banana on a stick with colourful sauces and ‘bing tang hu lu’ (malt candy-coated fruits on a stick) .
After eating , we walked back to the long lane with people selling many different things such as clothes , watches , accessories and many many more .
We took a bus back in the end .
The rest of the time is spent on completing the project that is dued tomorrow morning .
