Wuhan, freaking cold but super awesome <3

They were delicious and only cost 3rmb for 8 pieces !

At night , we went to the ‘lemon restaurant’ (on the second level) to have dinner , food there was yummy too !
Yvette , qiuyan and me left earlier than the rest as we are going to sing karaoke with chenming and we’re already running late .
Although we only sang for 2 hours , we had fun :D

The next day was the coldest day , so far . The wind was extra strong and my hands were freezing !
And yet , Yvette and me went down to the streets to packet breakfast and lunch in slippers .
We did not go to ‘Huang Jiang Hu Campus’ as qiuyan was not feeling well and we stayed back to accompany her . Most of our time was spent in the dorm .
At night , there was a black out and everyone ran out of their dorms , some holding torchlights .
It was a great experience :D

On day 8, after the OIE lectures , we bought badminton rackets and played . It was fun !

We played badminton too the next day and also went back to xu dong to shop .
For dinner , we ate a german style buffet as suggested by Mr Imran :)
I ate a chicken heart by accident :/

On Friday , we have to get ready to go on a ‘Yangtze river cruise’ and also visit the ‘Three Gorges Dam’ .
The journey there took 5 hours . The movie ‘karate kid’ was played during that time .

On our way there ~

Making our way into the cruise ship ~

The cabin we’re supposed to stay in was not as bad as I expected , what a relief .
Before the trip , almost everyone went prepared with lots of food and water .
Only Yvette , Qiuyan and me went there unprepared . We got worried thinking how were we going to survive there .

The cabin :)

The highest level of the cruise ship ~

Colourful lighted up buildings at night ~

We had our first meal there and we were served with a lot of dishes .
After that , we stayed up waiting for the dam gate to open .
We were told that after the dam gate closes , the water level will rise and the ship will then proceed to the next gate .

The next day , we woke up early but was told that the ship was delayed . We then entertained ourselves by playing card games until 11 plus .
We then got off the cruise ship and transfer to a smaller ship and cruised down the Yangtze river .

We then reached this place called ‘Shen nong xi’ where we went up an even smaller boat that is powered fully by the men there .

At one point , they have to get off the boat and pull it for a distance as the water is too shallow for them to paddle .

The trip back and forth the stream took around 1 hour and there was a ‘tour guide’ on the boat with us to tell us more about the place . She told us that the people living there are called ‘tu jia’ people and since young , they were taught to sing mountain songs . She even sang a song for us !

The next morning , we checked out at 7 plus and took a bus to visit the power station .
We were taken to a few places and the view was very nice .

Cherry blossoms !

Nice looking plant mini plant !

^_^

Fountain !



Giant book !

Although it was very cold up there , we bought ice-cream as we were told by a lecturer that if we eat ice-cream on a cold day , our body will feel warmer .

For a moment , i thought it was real .

Giant yellow truck !

Mysterious looking place O:

Tadpoles !


So misty ~

The trip then came to an end .
We went to a restaurant to have our lunch . A wedding ceremony was co-occurring and we witnessed them getting married . It was a joyous occasion ! :D
It was another 5 hours long journey from there to our dorm .

On our way back ! :D

WE MISSED OUR DORM SOOOOOOO MUCH !
We were glad to be ‘home’ ^_^
We unpacked all our things and even did laundry before dinner .


The next day , the weather was very very cold and it was raining . I was shivering as we walked from our dorm to the streets to get food . Due to the weather , we spent most of our time in the dorm .
