day 14 - Tuesday

We had to assemble at the administration building at 7.15am and surprisingly, we reached there on time, maybe it was because we woke up earlier than usual.

First stop, we had to go to the Wuhan University to meet the other students of the other course. After that, then we went to the steel factory. The whole journey took around an hour or so. The area that we went to was quite similar to the Jurong Industrial Area, but to the only difference was that they had railway tracks at some of the places. The railway track was to transport heavy metal or minerals.

After a while, we reached the steel factory, it was rather big and we had to wear our helmet before entering the premises. It was a simple tour as we walked along the side while observing how hot metal were melted and shaped into cylinder shapes. While walking along the side, we felt very hot and the noise produced was also very ear-piercing. The tour took around 45 minutes and we left the factory after that.

We had 5 hours left before we went for lesson at 3pm, so Mr Chua suggested that we go to Lu Xiang Guang Chang for our lunch. We took around one and a half hour to reach the place as the bus driver went the wrong way. He decided to take a shortcut during the journey and who knows, it lead to nowhere. Even worse was that the roads was bumpy throughout the journey.

After we reached the place, we went to pizza hut for lunch. The price was quite similar to Singapore. My friends and I ordered spaghetti with smoked salmon while others had grilled chicken rice and seafood spaghetti. I did not take any photo of it as I was too hungry.

After our lunch, we took 901 back to our campus. The weather in Wuhan is getting hotter than ever, I began to sweat during the afternoon these days. We wore t-shirts and shorts to lesson in the afternoon, cooling but awkward as well. Imagine while on the way to our class, people everywhere keep staring at you, it will be very awkward. APPG lesson was boring, Mr Ma took over for lesson and taught us stuffs about chapter 3. After that, we went back dormitory and complete our lab 3. Dinner was boring, had KFC again. So that is how I end my day.
