Day 38

Day 38- 2nd oct 2008

It’s a fine day today! No rain yet the weather is not so hot.:) Just nice! Anyway, 2day, we went out with Shi Ding Le on a field trip excursion. We met her at our hostel’s gate at 8.30am. I went out without having breakfast and was grumbling all the way. HA! She brought us to see the huang he lo which was at the top of the snake mountain(she shan). Actually, it can only be considered as a hill. It is even smaller than bukit timah’s mountain. In Shi Ding Le’s lesson, she once mentioned about the snake and tortoise mountain story. It is called the snake mountain as the pathway uphill is long and narrow. What a morning walk!

We went to the 1911 revolution red house. Cool. Do you know that the 1911 revolution was sparked from WUHAN-wuchang(the place I reside in for this entire trip). Cool eh… There were so many stuffs which the red house tour guide said and I cannot really remember.

We went to the Taoist temple too. I have seen enough of the temples at wudang but I wondered why the status at wudang were not as big as the one I saw today. Some 1 replied to my question and said that it was because wudang mountain’s status were of the past. Hmmm…

After that, we went to the mei shi jie for lunch! The air had bad ventilation in the large enclosed area and I was gasping for clean air. Poor indoor air quality (tsk, tsk, tsk!!! – haha, what to do… I learnt before ma…). The place was fully packed with people squeezing everywhere. All kind of well-known food from tang paos, popiah, wanton, beggar chicken, zhu chang fen, seafood(lala, scallop..), dou pi(beancurd skin?)… can be found there. People tend to just throw their rubbish on the ground and the amount of rubbish collected by the sweeper was amazing! HAH!
