Day #14 Tuesday

Had IS class today.

The lecturer is Edith 石老师.

In her late 40s, she teaches well and is fluent in english. She taught us about tradition, background, and the culture of China. We will have her lesson every Tuesday.

She bought us to a shopping mall behind 武汉科技学院 which is behind the South campus of WIT.

She also told us that the food sold on the streets are not very good, and she hardly ever eat there. The oil was recycled from restaurants after repeatedly usage, which means the oil is very dirty and not good for consume.

Didn't remember the name of the mall. but it is a nice place. lots of cheap stuff to buy. clothings, sports, and those small deco items.

I bought a few handphone accessories. but most probably I wont be using them. just buy and give people. as they are affordable, about $10 RMB for each item. Bought xiujin's birthday stuff here also. :D

Jianwen and Teeyong bought shoes again. Nike shoes at $80 RMB. A grade. Superb quality. no one can tell if it is genuine or not :)

The price is within my budget but the shop does not have my shoe size :( 

And it would be quite bulky or troublesome for me to bring shoes back. Ah. depends, maybe last few days I still left plenty of money then I can go shop :D

I also bought a Mickey mouse towel. $30 for 2 pieces, shared with weiyang. my towel... although I washed it regularly.. it still has the dirty stain :(

After shopping, we went to McDonald AGAIN! Finally I tried the McPork 麻辣. The sauce was so... little. Zzz. And the cashier upsize my meal without asking me, then I quarreled with her, and she told me that must upsize. I said that I never ask for upsize and I tried so many McD before and this is the very first time it is "compulsory" to upsize. Then she kept quiet and I also don't bother to further the conversation so end up i paid $2 more for the upsize. Teeyong who bought the food after me did not has his meal upsized. Teckcheong who is infront of me got conned also.

Went home and Chiong tutorial 4 and 5. As we have 2 chapters every lessons, and have lessons every alternate day, it is quite rush for us to study, revise and do tutorials.
