day 18 - chapter 3 - three gorges tour

Bye cruise!
alighted at 7pm and took the bus to the three gorges dam attraction. at the site, we were issued tickets and they also cater their own bus tour. our first destination was a brief model of the overall three gorges concept. after that there were introduction of rocks that were used to test the suitability of constructing a dam at a certain location. Right now they are still constructing a ship lift whereby it will only take 40mins to bring a ship from the upstream to the lower stream.

this rock have a history of thousands of years. the holes were being drilled by scientist to test its nature.

Can you see the dam behind?




there's a park over there and there is not a photo shoot for any magazine promotion. Unless china wants us to be the ambassador of three gorges. 

lunch at Yi Change before taking the express bus back to Wuhan. 
Home sweet home and finally i am able to eat the food over here once again instead of the plain meals serve on board. Ok.. no comments about the food. 

There's IS lesson tomorrow and the deputy principal is coming! 

reflection: Today's journey was a short one. On the way back to Wuhan there were several stops for us to rest and i went to the toilet to have a pee. I realize that China toilets are not that well maintained as what we can see in Singapore. Furthermore, their people are not very considerate and were aggressive towards what they want. I feel that Singapore has already reach a certain standard of mannerism and politeness.
