Day 7 First lesson in Wuhan

Day 7
Today is the first day where lesson starts. All of us are ‘excited’ about it.
We made our way to the food market where we had our breakfast.
Reaching the school, we look for the flight of stairs which Ms Wang brought us the other time. While Mr Wee went to collect the keys for the class, we climbed the stairs.
It was a tiring climb as the height of each level, are much higher than those in Singapore. We manage to reach the 7th floor when we realise the gate was locked. Feeling exhausted due to walking from the hostel to the school and up the stairs. All of us were lamenting.
The school keeper told Mr Wee that there is another entrance up. This means we have to walk down this stairs and climb up another stairs to the 7th floor.
Finally, we reached the classroom. The room was nicely furnished and it felt not like a classroom but rather, a restaurant. It is a nice place though, we will be spending our next 5 weeks over at that classroom. What was most surprising about the school, was the toilet.
In the toilet, each cubicle has walls. However, each side of the wall is about 1 metre high. That means, if you’re doing your business, it will be seen by anyone using the toilet with you. The cubicle has no doors too. The water-closet is a tiled-made trench stretch along 4 cubicles. In other words, if 4 people want to defecate at the same time, they will be using the same trench. And if one person flushes, the entire trench will be filled with water which brings the first cubicle faeces to the other cubicle. Yucks!
The class lasted until about 4 pm with a 2 hours break in between. After class, we had a suggestion of going to golden hans a buffet restaurant which is located near Carrefour.
We had our dinner there. The food there was good, filling & most of all CHEAP!
We were acting like big bosses, as the restaurant was food were cheap. People who were eating there wore nice clothing considering that the restaurant is quite posh. But to us, the restaurant was just like any coffee shop in Singapore in regards to the price.
We paid the bill which only adds up to like S$9 each.
