Day 35
Go shopping @ Hankou Bu Xing Jie

Woo~ Hoo~! For the first and the last time, we had our own MDE outing. Since we were going for two places, we had to wake up early at around 7 to 8am. We took a rented bus and off we go!

The first stop will be the theme park. We reached there at about 9.30am. Before going there, we went past the park area. Indeed, I believe it was a nice place for the elderly to go and have their Tai Ji, play their chess game or Er Hu (a Chinese instrument), or even to sit down and listen to the Beijing Opera! One typical kind of park in China.

At the theme park, all of us had fun playing. Because I was almost practically broke, I had to save up some money and skipped almost the rides. Went for the mirror maze (because it was just 5 RMB). But after going in, I felt kind of cheated. Not fun one!

As the bus does not fetch us from here to Hankou, we had to walk and take their MRT. There are two words that I can describe their MRT service: “quite cool”. In Singapore, we had staffs in the general office counter and had a temporary card for single-trip service. But here, there is only a (fierce-looking) staff standing at one corner instead of the counter, and we had fake coins as our single-trip pass.

Upon arriving at Hankou, we had were given own-time-own-target period. And this time round, as I got separated from Xanier they all, I ended up going with Yoke May for shopping. Shop, shop and shop…

After that, we took a ferry to the food street opposite Hankou. It was a nice dinner. Soon, all of us went back to the hostel.


Reflection
Along the way while going to the theme park, we went past the China’s hospital. Seeing the way the medical staff actually works totally freaks me out. Imagine you are the patient, and you are being transported from one block to another just by having the nurses to push your trolley bed across the road, where cars are giving out harmful gases and there is a construction going on nearby? To add on, unwanted biomedical wastes were put at the outdoor area, waiting for the garbage collectors to come and collect. What will happen if someone were to go and open these bags of waste and found himself or herself a bacteria-carrying needle?

Moreover, to the topic of the theme park, I guess all of us saw the rusty parts of the machines. Do they ever let their machines to go for servicing before? Although I had never gone to the theme park in Singapore before, I believed that definitely, there is a great difference between the ways their theme park works and ours.





And that's the end of the day.
