Day 9 – Mid Autumn Festival in Wuhan

Today weather was really cold it was about 20 degrees and it was raining, so all of us headed to class with jackets and jeans for our lessons which start at 9am. We had our first PM practical for 2 ½ hour after which we headed for lunch at the Soup Shop which I really like.

Our Lunch


After lunch we headed back to WUST for our PM lesson, we completed another chapter and did 2 assignments before the lesson ends. We had to stay in the classroom for a while as the rain was getting heavy and the weather was really cold now. And so, when the rain simmers down, we headed back to our hostel to get our project work done. We manage to finish all of our work within 2 hours and that was really good as it will mean that we would have more free time tomorrow ^^

It was around 6 plus 7pm when we when out to Duo Luo Jie for our dinner. This time we decided to try another restaurant which sells mee sua. But their mee sua taste really different from ours in Singapore. We ordered the big portion which 5 of us could share, it cost us 30rmb for the that and we ordered a extra plate of shui jiao. Which in total each of us would have to pay 8rmb($1.60), its really cheap and look at the portion they gave us, the guys couldn’t even finish it.
Look at how big the serving was


Their Sprite


When dinner ended we walked back to the hostel and had our mini Mid Autumn Festival Celebration. Since it was raining ourside, we weren’t able to play our Xu yuan deng and we couldn’t see the moon but well, at least had mooncakes which were nice and tea while we played games like charades. The monncakes were kind of similar to those we have in Singapore. After having the mooncakes, the girls even performed a dance Nobody for 10s (: haha. We had to end our celebration early as the other girls in the same hostel is having a test tomorrow.
Tea


Everyone is gathering around the table


Smile!



A memorable mid autumn festival 2010

Reflections:
Since it was Mid Autumn Festival, we wanted to play with lanterns and candles but I heard from Zhen Zhao that in China, they seldom played with candles and lantern during Mid Autumn Festival and so we couldn’t manage to find any lanterns in the supermart. This was something which I find kind of different from Singapore. In Singapore, we would always be able to see children holding lanterns walking around the park and there will be some of them who are playing with candles, sticking them onto the ground and watch the candles making sure that they were all lilted up.
