Day 15

DAY 15- Lovely day~

Hey people!!
So today was a free day for us to study for our common test which is on 20/03/2013, Wednesday.
Have I studied? Yes.
Huiqi, Travin and Qurainah was asking how I managed to find the time to sleep,nap,study and play L4D at the same time.
Haha! I guess I just have the time.
So since I didn't really do much today, I shall not rant about what I studied today.
Instead, I'll rant about the Top 5 Things to have/bring to China.
Lets go!!!



TOP 5 THINGS TO HAVE/BRING TO CHINA (during cold weather)
1) Bring Face & Body Moisturiser
The air here is extremely dry since it is cold.
When i first came to Wuhan, the sudden blast of cold air slapped my cheeks when i exited the plane.
A few hours after arriving at the campus, my T-zone began to crack.
I looked like a snake during that time.
ALWAYS spam moisturiser when you're here and drink gallons of water too!!
My skin on my leg were cracking too!
It was so dry that i thought i was having eczema!!!!!

2)Buy a prepaid SIM card with 3G
3G is very important when you're here in China.
I used 3G often mainly to check where i am going.
And not only that, having 3G means that you can use whatsapp wherever you go and does not require calls!
but unfortunately, the 3G here, mostly are only 100Mb.
Better than nothing still!

3)Heat pack
Don't buy in Singapore!!!
Buy your heat packs here in China!!!
It's cheaper and much much better than the one found in Singapore.
Some can really last long!

4)Track your expenses
Come on. You can never deny that the things here are very cheap.
So cheap till you can actually send all your money flying.
For me, i stick to 50yuan(SGD$10).
YES IT IS ENOUGH!!!
Because it is THAT cheap here!

5)Make friends (COMPULSORY!!!!!!!)
The best thing to do here is to make friends with the locals.
You'll be surprised about how friendly they are.
I know Singaporeans tend to regard the people in China as 'rude' and 'inconsiderate'.
So far, i've never really met these kinds of 'rude' people.
I made quite a few friends from those who major in English and i must say, their English is VERY GOOD.
Unfortunately, not many people here can speak english .
So language barrier still remains the biggest challange for those who aren't fluent in Chinese.


THAT IS ALL!!!!
Shall get back to studying now!!!!
BYE!!!
