Reflections:
it was a good basketball match overall today. had fun and interaction with the local students. the dinner was an appreciation from all of us for their warm welcome to us to Wuhan. bringing us to places that we have never been to. sacrificing their precious time to actually bring us around and make sure we have a good time. even organising barbecue for us and bringing us to the theme park! thanks to them if not we surely would not have as much fun as we did for the past month. thank you all the local students! see you in Singapore next year!

Day 31 - Shopping at ATM

Free and easy day 1! and woke up early to go shopping! went wang fu jing shjopping mall again. had some chicken wing from the nice bbq stall. walked around abit but left soon after as the girls went for some pedicure. since last night we couldn't finish roaming the ATM, we decided to go back there again today. look at stuff and bought some stuffs also. then decided to go to the night market! we were worried it will not be open again since it was raining in the afternoon. but thankfully they opened as it was dry enough. bought a few stuff like necklace and such at the shop to give people when i come back..

On the way there!
Pit stop for a photo!
The night market!

Reflections:
Bus services in wuhan end at around 10.30pm. unlike in singapore, where bus service ends past midnight. the reason being that china is very big, thus bus drivers need to end work earlier to be able to get home faster. we are lucky to be able to enjoy such priviledges in singapore. bus services in China however, has a very short frequency timings. this is due to the number of people living in china itself. thus, having the need of more buses to cater to the number of people. i found that it made sense due to the amount people on the bus when we took the buses during peak hours. hence, by ratio, the bus services are quite similiar except for the end service timing.
