Day #39 Saturday

Went to HanKou today. Woke up quite late in the morning, near to noon already. I just grabbed any available food in my unit and considered it as a breakfast. After much discussion, we set to go to Si Men Kou -> Han Kou today.

There're 13 of us, excluding Lizhen, as she went to meet her friend somewhere else, but she joined us later in Hankou.

Our initial plan was to take public transport as it will be more budget and economic, but everyone seem to be richer as they had just got their money from the ATM mass withdrawal with Mr Wee. So, we tried to catch a Hippo car to Si Men Kou. No luck, 7 of us got into a hippo for 50rmb, while the 6 of the rest have no choice but to take cab, 3-3. The fee was $36 rmb, which is $12 each, quite expansive :(

We had oyster, RGM, Pee-ing Beef Balls, and some other small food. After the lunch, we walked and loitered around, Jianwen failed to end his spree again, as he bought another shirt. He simply just cannot resist the temptation to buy things. Shopaholic? We were to meet up at 3pm, but none showed up on time. When more people showed up, me teeyong eileen and xiujin became the pioneer group to be despatched to han kou. it was $28 as the driver took a longer route.

We reached too early, spent about 30 minutes waiting for others to come. It was raining quite heavily, luckily we brought umbrella. Lizhen also called and joined our squad. We started off by eating egg tarts. Then, we went to buy some shirt at XTEP. As we met at 7, the girls bought some shirts at extremely low price which that completely lured the guys to insane. We then decided to stay back hankou to have dinner and continue to shop. I bought 3 shirts, total $65 in 15 minutes in Metersbowne, lelong sales!

We then say to extend our meet up time to 930. As 930 approached, me teeyong lizhen and eileen left first as first batch. We were told that the rest only came at 1010pm! So... the punctuality problem?

Lizhen was too tired and slept in the cab, while me teeyong and eileen chatted. Went home, calculated some money issues, and everyone went home to sleep
