Day Fifteen: Warm, warmer, hot!,
Tuesday, March 17, 2009


This morning we visited the Wugang Steel Mill.
It is the 3rd biggest steel mill in China.
Meet up at the school gate at 8am.
Earlier on, Mr Wong came knocking on our door while playing the song "Chan malichan"!!
Goodness gracious me.
I was still sleeping so soundly, and neither me nor Zee Min wanted to get up to open the door.
Ja was showering and at last Zee Min gave in and opened the door.
Ahaha. I still want my 5 minutes of extra sleep!!
The journey only took about 3o minutes i pressumed.
The Wugang Steel Mill is like a town with its own internal transportation.
It even have it own schools and housing for the workers and their family.
Imagine how huge it is!
Mr Wong told us that there about 300 000 residents there.
There's no picture as we cant take any.
We went in and first thing i saw was the blast furnace.
The temperature in the furnace was about 1100degrees celcius.
HOT!!
The whole process was fully automated and very quick.
Firstly, it started off with the molten steel from the furnance.
The impurities is then washed away.
Although we were standing quite a distance away, i can feel the heat.
I felt like i was in a sauna.
The block of molten steel is then shaped according to the specifications.
There's even an Xray to check the quality of the steel.
It is then flatten out to the desired thickness and cooled down.
The flat sheet of steel is then rolled and labeled.
That is the final product ready to be shipped out.
And that was the end of our industrial visit.
I must say that it was too short.
I want too see more!!
It was so exciting!!

We went back to school and had our class at one.
Quiz yet again.
I dont like MCQs.
Hate it!!
After finishing the quiz, me and Ja went to eat at our usual place.
I like watching the TV at the stall while eating.
Since im so deprived of TV, any show will do even if i dont understand.
The good thing is, although its all in Chinese, the show are all funny.
After that we walked around the area.
Saw a fire engine parked at the pavement.
The firemens was opening a locked window.
It is really a funny sight.
The firemens wore army uniforms(those green camouflaged ones).
And the ladder was wooden and they had to manually extend the ladder!!
Continued walking around, bought junk food from the supermarket.
Clothes from the shop.
And a cake from the bakery.
Guess how much this cake cost:

ONLY 10 yuan(bout $2.50).
So cheap.
However, the cake is like 2/3 cream and only 1/3 actual cake.
Nevertheless its delicious.


I think im already used to the life here.


We can walk around buying stuff without any Chinese friends.


But I still hate the fact that there's so many dogs.


They just appear out of nowhere, making me jump around like an idiot.


The weather have been good too.


Its not cold nor hot.


Its just perfect.
