30th Sept - Day 17

IS lecture for today is cancelled as the locals are on holiday for their national day which falls on 1st Oct 2010 which is tmr. Had Ms Thoo’s lecture in the morning, completing 2 chapters. The lecture wasn’t very hard to understand with the help of Ms Thoo’s examples and she made dry chapter theory interesting.

We had the whole afternoon to ourselves but of course we made full use of it to start our assignments and projects and to do some housework!

The school became very quiet after many students left the school to return to their hometown to celebrate the national day with their family members. They bought train tickets to travel all the way back. It’s not like Singapore where at most 1½hrs journey we can reach home from school. Shortest distance can even be 15min! They have to take long distance transport home as China is really very very very big! Teenagers from all over china come to Wuhan to study.

As Singapore kids, we have the luxury that Singapore is not very big and transportation around is very convenient with the fact that the population in Singapore is not much compared to china. Even if its rush hour, catching the next bus wouldn’t be a problem, but here in Wuhan, even after waiting for 2-3 buses, you still aren’t able to squeeze up the bus!This is how fortunate we Singaporeans are even though the weather is more or less always the same. Here in Wuhan is aircon temperature. Not long after would be winter.

You’ll never get to experience the change in season in Singapore.
