Day 35 - Trip to Wust new campus

WE gathered at 9am at our learning block for our trip to 黄家湖 (Wuhan university of science and technology).

It was a one hour bus ride there and apparently most of us were knocked out on the bus. *yawn*

We were welcomed by the volunteers upon alighting from the bus. Each of us were brought to the front gate of the foreign language building to have a group photo taken. 1 2 3 say cheese....
Even the electronic signboard were dedicated for us!



each of us draw lots to find out the buddy assigned for us for the day. We were then brought to a mini hall to watch the performance they have prepared for us.

Since they have already performed for us, shouldn't it be time for us to reciprocate something back? we dance what we have prepared for the exchange programme during our first week here. though it was a bit rush, i'm glad that every thing turn out smoothly. 

The next program lined up for us is a tour around the school library history museum. Over there i was introduced the history of WUST. The WUST campus is actually a combination of several different schools and was formed in the later years. Since it was a new school school, their facilities were all very advanced and  was many times bigger than the place we were living in.

 At 2pm, we had games at the basketball field.

Example would be passing ping-pong balls from one end to the other using chopsticks.
Tying two peoples up to pass the ball.

after games playing, we were brought to the laboratory where they were live sample of dead human. There were even dead foetus over there.

After the end of the gallery, we were then sent back to school. We were dead beat by then but nevertheless we manage to make more friends over there and get a few of their warm hospitality.

Reflection:
There is a big difference in the education in China and Singapore. When they ask us what grade are we in,  most of us don't really know how to reply as they don't have polytechnics over there. So most of us tell them we are either from 高中(JC) or 大一 ( university freshman).
Different countries have different way of governing their country. There is a great difference in terms of laws, education and military. This China trip is an eye-opener for me. I have learnt lots of things. Even the girls have to go through basic military training when they enter university training.
