Day 32- Free and Easy

Hi everyone, the temperature today is about 15degree and the weather is fine.
It was a free and easy day for us. Everyone had a better, longer sleep. I started to continue my part for the project before we went out. Free for whole day, we decided to go to the further place somewhere near 光谷 (GuangGu).
At around 2pm, we set off to the bus stop and took 702. The bus was packed not only because it was a Sunday, but a public holiday. Everywhere along the streets was crowded. We alighted at the shopping mall before 光谷 and walked along the streets to老鼠街. Had KFC (Beijing Peking sauce with chicken in Bandito wrap set meal) for dinner. After which, we took 308 back to 建设一路, making our way back to the hostel.


Pancakes selling at 3rmb for the original one, 4rmb for the flavoured ones.

Smelly Tofu. 臭豆腐.

王麻子. Taste isn't as smelly as when you smelt it.

Chicony, a shopping centre which looks like TAKA.


KFC Peking duck flavoured Bandito.

Cake from BreadTalk.

Big hole in the middle of the walking path where rubbish could be seen filled inside.
Pineapple being sold on the road side almost everywhere in Wuhan.

Cheesecake bought at a bakery for 7rmb.

Reflection:
After the days in China, having to see beggars on the road side begging for money, I realised that almost all are people with age. Sometimes, I felt that it is heartrending when you see the expression from their faces. Some even lay their old and sick beloved one in the middle of the streets, out there in the cold begging hardly for money. However, I heard that some of the ones using a container begging can be belong to an organization.
We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility.
We must learn to provide opportunities for all, the chance of being taken care of. It is our responsibility to provide our families with proper care if possible.
