Day 38 - Back to square one
Assignment 3 presentation was canceled today as there is no classroom for us. So, it is time for us to get out of campus to explore the shopping hot spots!
We called up the shifu driving the van to bring us to 群光广场(Chicony) to shop. We had too many people so he called his wife along to bring us there, so there are 2 vans now! Reached our destination and walked around for a while and the place looked like you are in Takashimaya!
Headed for lunch at Ajisen. The portion here is more I guess, and cheaper! Then off to shopping. Little did we know that, after walking some time, we are actually very near to 老鼠街 area. We thought we are going to another new place.
Oh well, went to some streets for window shopping and headed back to campus after dinner at KFC.
Reflections
I feel that spending things without GST and service charge can really save you quite some money. I guess that is why products overseas may cost cheaper than what you pay for in Singapore. The sales here are much longer and more than what you can find in Singapore.
Finding a toilet in China is quite a tough job I guess. I seldom see any directions to toilets in shopping malls. If not, it is hidden in some corner of the mall. Today, I witnessed another small kid urinating in the middle of the streets because he is very urgent. He just squat down and pee.
Our bedsheets are changed this morning! Shall last until Monday morning.
