Day 11 - Free & Easy



Shopping at 江汉路步行街 again.
Took a illegal cab down. In china, we can find taxi drivers without licensed and it is generally cheaper as it doesn't charge according to meter and it can fetch more people. They do this illegally as they didn't have to pay tax to the government.


Had dinner at a noodle shop and i ordered their local food 热干面(hot-cold noodle). This noodle is served with a gravy mixed with sesame and peanut paste. It is best when served hot. Took a cab back to our hostel and  arrived safely at 9pm. :))

there's IS lesson tomorrow at 9pm! Bye i gotta sleep. *yawn*

Reflection:
the locals here have a habit of eating their meals while walking on the street, while taking the public transport, standing at the roadside and consume their meals. they also have the habit of spitting wherever they feel like. Even smoking in restaurants are allowed. We aren't able to see much of this in Singapore as we find it unsightly and intolerable. As a Singaporean, i feel that we have reached a certain level in our standard of living as well as our quality of life. However, we should not have prejudiced over other countries culture. We should  have an open-minded  mind and view other people equally or we wouldn't be able to learn anything.
