Most taxis have "barriers" to prevent robbery. The view from the taxi. Sigh.. raining:(
@ the "ORCHARD ROAD"
We woke up at 10am and met up to eat at 11am:) We decided to try the Zhi Cha nearby which was opposite our hostel. It was quite run down but the food was nice but oily though.
We met Yu Xuan who was a local of Wu han who studies at NP. He brought us to their ‘orchard road’ at Hankou, another part of Wuhan. We are situated at Wu Chang.
There was a night market as well and we were told to safekeep our belongings well as the theft rate there was higher. Bing Quan was given a counterfeit note of 20RMB(4dollars) as he did not check for its authenticity. Poor him.. That made me alert as I realized that counterfeits were aplenty as whenever we pay for any stuffs, it was noted that the cashers would check the money.
As I still could not really understand their slang, I got ripped of 42rmb(8+ sgd) in buying sweets. =_=. Was utterly unhappy with the attendant as when paying, I said I wanted less as it was too expensive. She fiercely did not wanted to reduce it and I stupidly paid them. (Should have just refused to buy and walk away).
As we walk along, I realized that wuhan’s night is cooler than Sg’s night but wuhan’s day is hotter than sg’s day.
I have to learn the art of bargaining as in China, everything is yours if you can bargain well.
Sadly, we have a curfew and we have to be back on any day by 11pm. :(
