Day 38 - 1 October 2008

To all Chinese Nationals - A VERY HAPPY NATIONAL DAY! 1st October 2008 is People's Republic of China's 59th Birthday!

As for Group D, we woke up early in the morning, 8am, so that we are able to go to the back alley to take some photos and grab some breakfast! Out of 5 of us, probably Fiza and Amirah enjoyed the most. Because this is their FIRST BREAKFAST since don't know how long ago!

After that, it was mostly finishing up all our videos for the whole day while the rest of the people went out to shop. Purpose - National Day Sale! lol

I must say, Kudos to Group C for finishing up the videos! Although everyone was a bit frustrated working with Windows Movie Maker, I would say, we overcame it with determination and teamwork. Once again, WELL DONE! =)

That's all for Day 38. Quite short right? haha. Actually is not, for me at least.. Vomited at the middle of the night (3am) in the toilet. Suspected food poisoning. Anyway, thanks steffi and sebas for your help last night! =D Fine now.

moving on to Day 39 - 2 October 2008 , which is today...

While majority of the people were busy compiling all the videos before proceeding to Li Xuan house at night for dinner, Yuting and I decided to go to the famous tea house located at Taipei Road, Hankou, Wuhan -- DaHeng XiaoZhuan Tea house -- to get some tea leaves.

On the way out of hostel, Elaine told us that there are 2 shops selling tea leaves just nearby our hostel. As such, we visited them and bought 6 liang of Biluochun tea leaves. =)

Afterwards, we wanted to board a public bus to Hankou before changing to taxi to that tea house, thinking it will be cheaper. HAHA. it will actually, but we made a mistake by alighting at the wrong bus stop. Ended up walking along the coastal main road that will bring us to Walking Street. ahh. Imagine 2 hungry Singaporeans walking, trying to find bus 563 (reputed that will bring us to Taipei Road) and looking for food that is not expensive. =(

Yep. these are the photos captured while walking, before we found a restaurant, famous for soyabean milk and doughsticks which serves set lunch!

Inclusive in this slideshow are photos which were captured behind our hostel, while walking to buy tea leaves.

This slideshow shows our meal at Yonghe King.

Yep. After meal, we went to the bus interchange located opposite the restaurant. HOORAY! bus service 563 starts from there! as such, we boarded 563 from the interchange directly. First time boarding bus from an interchange in China. I would say, rather messy! Let me show you something interesting.




How do we know where to board the bus? LOOK ON THE FLOOR LA! =.=

Yep. Taipei Road we reached! Finally, we reached the teahouse. YAY! But sadly, the tea house sells tea for drinking BUT not tea leaves. =(

Nevermind, we took some photos along Taipei Road before heading to Li Xuan house at 钢花南苑, which is near 建设三路. fyi, we almost cannot get there and someone suggested to us to take the private cab! So dangerous you know. NVM. we took a public cab instead. =P

Here are the photos!

And yep. the rest of tonight were spent at Li Xuan house. Serious, her parents and Li Xuan's friend (who is coming to Singapore for studies in 2 months time) parents treated us very well. Cooking more than 14 dishes of food to entertain us. Quite sad la as we won't be seeing Li Xuan soon. =/

ANYWAY, THANKS FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY!

Yep. that's all for today. AND yesterday. =D
