Day 10 - Friday

oday is the day that we will be departing for a 3 day 2 night cruise to see the “Three Gorges” located at Yichang Hubei province of China. Because of counter strike all my dorm people could not wake up. When I woke up it is already about time to go for meeting. I took a quick bath and headed to the meeting point. The bus trip is very long from Wuhan to Yichang, it takes about 4 hours plus another one hour journey to the 3 gorges. During the 4 hour journey, a lot of us fall asleep. We had our lunch at a 4 stars restaurant at Yansha Dajiudian. The food there can be considered quite good compare to the food in WUST university canteen. The students from other courses also join us for lunch. After eating, we went back to the bus and headed for the 3 gorges. The scenery there was very beautiful. The tour guide explains to us when the dam was build and the size of it. It is one of the biggest dams in china and it is the pride of many china people. Building this definitely cost a bomb. We took many pictures there plus group photos and went back to the same restaurant to have our dinner. Their dishes for lunch and dinner all looked the same. We are like eating the same food all over again. We had a very rushing dinner as time is running short for us. We are already late for the cruise. Once we boarded the cruise, we were given the keys to our room. The room is very small and my head almost touch the ceiling. After putting down our belongings, we went to the deck of the ship if is at the 4th floor of the ship to assemble to see the boat slowly rising up the dam. We then went back to our room to play cards until 2 plus and went to sleep.
