Day 2 Wuhan - Orientation!!!

DAY 2 WUHAN - ORIENTATION !

So today,I woke up early in the morning to prepare for a tour of the campus!!
It's really such a nice place to study!
But before I start my ranting of all the fun things i did, here's my #OOTD~
(Outfit Of The Day)

Now let's begin!!
So first thing in the morning, we had a short tour of the entire place!
it was extremely breath taking.We toured the place where we will be having our lessons.
And guess what? The building is beside the lake that i saw on day 1!

AMAZING VIEW!!!!!

The field of Cherry Blossoms which i saw yesterday is along the hill too!
The building we will be using is the Foreign Language School.
(well, I guess that fits us well?)

Looks like Hogwarts doesn't it?? :)

The lecture hall~

 Once we were in, we went in to the lecture hall for a brief welcoming ceremony from the locals!
The vice principal of the University gave a short speech to us!
Yes , unfortunately for me, its in Chinese :( but HEY! I have my personal best translators~

and we toured the classrooms next! But what is special about their classrooms is that they are still using a blackboard!! Its my first time seeing  a classroom blackboard!!
Unlike Singapore's classroom whiteboard, the blackboard is even taller and wider!
But i'l have to get use to looking at a blackboard because the dull colour will surely make me sleepy during classes!!
The concept of the classroom is simple but it isn't like a typical classroom back in Singapore.
Students have their own 'cubicles'.

See the cubicles???

And after that, we headed out to the library!
YES THE LIBRARY!!! THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO STUDY AND FIND YOUR INNER PEACE :)
and lucky me, the library is SUPER HUGE!!!!!!

There is a wide open field(size of a foorball field!) infront of the library!

And they even portrayed a cute welcome message at the entrance for us as well!!!
HOW SWEET IS THAT!!

"Welcome Ngee Ann poly students and lecturers!Let us exchange our knowledge!"

They do have English books!!!! My life in Wuhan won't be boring at all~

 AND THAT IS NOT ALL!!!!
The library also has a garden which faces the lake!!!
Its so beautiful and I rather study at the garden than the library itself!!!
The garden just relieves my stress with it's wide open concept and the scenery!!

SUCH A NICE VIEW!!!!

 Oh yes! and we received a card that is used to buy the food from the canteen!
The card has to be topped up in order Somehwhat like kopitiam back in Singapore!
I find that the card system is a good idea!
Especially since China's money is a little hard to handle
(Most of them are crumpled and the size of the notes are so big!)
for it to be used.

SO LETS FAST FORWARD TO DINNER~!
now here's a funny incident which happened during dinner.
Me and Irfanah were the only two muslims in our clique.
Since yesterday, our friends have been following us to eat at the halal shops.
 Feeling bad, we asked them not to eat with us since we do not want to limit their food choices as well.

since NONE of us can speak chinese fluently, we decided to take a risk and order food by ourselves.
(ALL THE MENUS IN SHOPS ARE IN CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
As you can see.. the whole menu is in chinese characters.
Even if i'm learning chinese now....i still can read it well!!!

So i had this theory in mind....
The more expensive the food is, the more delicious it is.
i'm just assuming....
Soooooooooo......
we ordered by just....................................
...................
.............
pointing at the chinese characters that looks pleasent to us.HAHA!
yes. pointing to anything and assuming its nice..

Pointing anyhow.....

But in the end, the food we got was definately rewarding!!!!
Irfanah apparently pointed to a stir fried noodles cooked in tomato spicy sauce with egg.
(I think that's the dish)
And i got stir fried noodles with beef and capsicum!!!

  

TADAH!!!!!

We laughed histerically when the food came because Irfanah has been ranting about capsicum ever since we stepped into the shop.
And in the end, I was the one who got a dish FULL of capsicum.
Thank you to Irfanah for ranting about capsicum for a full 15mins till the food came.....

All right! until next time~


再见你们！！！
