Day 36 - Free and Easy

today was Free and Easy and we went to 江汉路 for our usual 豆花 and COCO bubble tea. But before that, all of us went to Bank of China to have our Singapore money exchange. the rate for cash exchange is 4.71. Whereas if u were to withdraw using ATM cards, they will charge it with 3% tax for whatever amount you withdraw.

After withdrawing, the guys and the girls split into two groups as both of us wanted to get our own things. We went to Ajisen to have our dinner before going to 步行街 to shop for cheap and nice clothes. We met up with Wei Qin and Cynthia after that to head back together as we are already done with our shopping. However there are the five of us and the taxi can only sit 4 people. Thus Wei Qin and Cynthia took the motobike back to enjoy a different experience.

Reflection:

In China, there are all types of illegal occupations which u can think of. When we were inside the Bank of China, there were cheater approaching us near the doorstep. They were persuading us to exchange money with them instead of the bank as they were able to give us a higher rate. Although Bank of China were being guarded by the police force, it was still shocking that illegal activities are carried out. They were only chased away after being seen pestering the customer there. Perhaps heavy fines can be impose to stop all this illegal activities from going on.. In china, i feel that one is also able to survive even if you don't have a official job. You can do things without a license. Hence, more freedom though it is illegal to do so.
