Wuhan,the adventure begins.
New surroundings, new people, different culture.

Day Eight: Finally, Starbucks!!!,
Tuesday, March 10, 2009

After lessons today, me, ja, pei jie, vivian, zee min, weiguang and xiang yu went to the shopping mall.
The shopping mall is literally named SHOPPING MALL.
We took the bus no.702 from the bustop in front of the school gate.
The journey took us at least 20 minutes
As soon as I alighted the bus i saw a familiar sight.
STARBUCKS!!!



I didnt buy anything though cuz they dont have my favourite drink> raspberry frappucino.
Moreover, the price is about the same as Singapore, so there's no point buying unless im REALLY craving for it.
We then went to Walmart.
Its like Giant hypermarket.
We were all curious as there's no Walmart in Singapore.

Look what we saw.....

DURIANS!!!
It cost 8.80yuan per 500gram!!
Ja and Peijie wanted to buy it at first but then,they weigh the durian and it cost about 50yuan!
Come to think of it its not really expensive for a huge durian but for China standard its a little pricey.
The fruits here are really expensive.
One orange cost like 1.50yuan.
We then had dinner at KFC.
The price is quite similar.
However the menu is a little different.
The dont have coleslaw!
HMPHH!
Since the queue was long, the worker told us to have a seat and she took our order like a waitress.
When we were ordering, a guy next to us recognised us a Singaporean because of our SINGLISH!
Oh my god.
I was really embarassed.
Is our English that bad?
His name is Dragon(China people have weird english names) and he came to Spore before as an exchange student at NUS!
Must be really smart.
Anyway he is really friendly and offered to show us around Wuhan.
He gave us his number without us asking.
Thats really nice of him.
We plan to ask him to show us around on our free day.
Since i wasnt really hungry, i just had some mash potato.
Its so different from Singapore's mash potato.
Its watery and doesnt taste that great.
It only cost 2.50yuan though.
After eating, we headed back.
Oh i saw this kind of "garage sale" on the street.
The put their items on the car and many people come to buy their item.
We also saw a stall selling some sort of 'walnut cake'
Its some sort of snack made of nuts and fruit such as raisins.
It was so difficult to cut it as it is very hard.
It cost 2yuan for 500gram.
We bought 20yuan worth of it and he gave us extra.
Lots of extra!
So nice of him.
Us with the vendor>>
