Day 26 29/03/09

Today was a free and easy day. We woke up at 9.45 am. I do some exercises, bathed and went out to canteen 2 with friends to have lunch. After our lunch which was around 11.15, we head to Wuhan IT mall. We went there shop around, found out that their local product mp4 not bad, consist of a lot of functions, so we started bargain. Ended up using my technique, walk off and look for a better price. We keep asking for lower price than other shops that we asked. We ended up bought 7 mp4 which cost us each 235rmb. We also bought screen protector again as it is cheap! Ernest bought his tripod stand for camera which cost him 500rmb!!!! He intended to sell it off with a much higher price that cost price. After we are done shopping, we head back to our bunk to rest as there would be bbq in the evening.
In evening, we went to the cultural village park near our school to have bbq. There were 5 pits. We were being separated to different pits. My group took about almost 2hours to start out the charcoal to warm, while others started to barbequing their food. After we set up, we also enjoyed barbequed the food.


Reflection
In IT mall, I can bargain which I feel that the price can be lowered. But in Sim lim, I hardly get to bargain. In the mall, people just smoke inconsiderately though it is prohibited to smoke in the mall. They just feel that other people are none of their concern.
Their way of barbeque is very different from us. They doesn’t use wire net while local use it to barbeque. This will make us a little tiring to barbeque as we have to hold the satay sticks instead of placing it on the wire net. Secondly, the food of barbeque is also very unique, they barbeque bonjour, tofu and cucumber,(man tou) bun. While in local, we mostly cook seafood, satay meat. It was a very different experienced to have and their spice on the satay meat is very unique, they put powder , honey and oil to barbeque it.
