Day 26- Free Day after a tedious journey

Hi everyone, the temperature today is about 15 degree now. There was a light, short drizzle in the evening.

We had our last IS lesson last week about Chinese philosophy, thus, we had no lessons in the morning, or in fact the whole day also due to the tedious journey we had in Wu dang Mountain yesterday. Muscle ache on our legs due to the lack of exercise yet doing strenuous walking activities at a go.

In the morning, we ordered Mac delivery for breakfast. For a different taste, we ordered 9 pork mac muffin set meal. Cynthia called the delivery hotline, while WeiQin and I went down to the school gate to collect our breakfast. The eight of us were asked to meet Ms Neo in the morning for a particular reason- yesterday's activity at the Wu dang Mountain. We had a half an hour talk together with Si Hao and was asked to do a reflection about our apology to yesterday's incident.

The 11 of us. Taken at DuoLuoJie.
The machine that collects 2rmb for every ride and also have the ability for card tapping system.
Knitting on the bus.
I found out that regardless of old or young, the ladies here like to knit when they have free time. This kind of situation can also been seen from the shop owners in 老鼠街.


Everyone of us went back to the hostel to finish up our reflection and hence, we decided to go 江汉路步行街 together with Si Hao and Fathullah.
过桥. We always have to cross a bridge to reach there.

As usual, we had 煎包, beancurd and buns. We introduced them to Si Hao and Fathullah too. A new different experience. Tried the 酸辣豆花 (Spicy&Sour Bean curd) which was bought by Si Hao and the halal mutton sticks that was bought Fathullah.
Stalls along the food street.

Mutton sticks.

The big pao that cost only 1.5rmb.

Having to decide what we want for dinner, everyone agreed to having Aijisen at WanDa Plaza, a shopping centre beside HAPPY 站台. The 6 of us ( Cynthia, Winnie, SoonLing, SiHao, Fathullah) spent a total of 291 rmb and that the fulfilling portion of food satisfied us. After which, some of us went to WalMart to buy Poky and Prejoy as they are having a special promotion of buying 25rmb with a rebate of 5rmb, while the others went on to 女人大世界 for shopping.The scene of us grabbing boxes of poky and prejoy into our trolleys had become a commotion in WalMart that every passer-by walked across us will walk one step closer to see what was going on!

Some of us drank COCO again.


Reflection:
On our way to Walmart, we saw 2 incidents. One of it was between 2 dogs while the other one was between a young kid and a father. When one of the dog was bitten by the other, both owners were shouting at each other in the middle of the street, trying to protect their dogs despite one of it is being chased by the other owner. Because of some small incident on the escalator, the father slapped his son's head hard several times continuously which made us and even some passer-by feel so sorry and heartbreaking. These incidents gave me a strong feeling and ponder to a question- Do animals have a greater privilege of being cared more than human beings? Protective and care for animals, yet abuse to human beings.
