Day 6 (9th March)

Day 6
Today, there are no lessons. As we had lots of travelling the day before and we need to catch up on our journal for 3 days as we did not bring our laptops to Yangtze.
However, we went out to have our food and do some sight-seeing in Wuhan to find out more about the place.
We took a bus down to Yang Mao Guang chang. The bus driver is super impatient. One of our friend, Alicia, as she board the bus, the bus driver step on the accelerator almost leaving her leg severed. Mr Wee too, was a victim. He dropped his coin on the bus. As soon as the bus door close, the bus driver press the accelerator almost to the maximum causing him to fall.
Yang Mao was boring for me, as there was no food. Mr Wee, Han Soo, Chong Rui, Jackboon & Me then decided to walk out of Yang Mao in search of foot reflexology. But to no avail, we didn’t manage to find one.
We then took a taxi back to the hostel being afraid that we may meet another terrible bus driver.
In the taxi, we started a conversation with the taxi driver. As we started to gain his trust, he talked to us about the people in China and told us why the bus driver was so reckless and impatient. He told us that it was the character of Wuhan people. He said that when they are born they are already like that. If they are not fierce, they will be bullied by others.
Adding on, he told us where we should visit in Wuhan for example Han Kou. Which is, the ‘city’ of Wuhan. He told us that Han Kou is a place where is filled with business, fun, games, shopping & food. It sounded like orchard road in Singapore.
He also mention about Lee Kuan Yew. To my surprise, Lee Kuan Yew is so famous that even a taxi driver knows him. He praised Lee Kuan Yew, as he made an impression on the taxi driver that Singapore is a clean and green and a safe country to be in.
