Had a nice sleep till about 10am since we did not have any activities on for the day. We were only suppose to start our orientation tomorrow, so we had a free day today. Some China students came around our hostel selling prepaid cards and i bought 1. It only cost me 50 RMB(S$10) for it, including 300 free smses and unlimited free incoming calls. After the prepaid card was settled, all of us decided to go around exploring the area and buying the necessities we needed.
Card for buying food in the canteen
Road side stall
Their menu, lots of variety!
We settled down at a small eatery along the road to have our lunch. Had lean meat fried rice for my lunch. The portion here are really a lot bigger than those you see in Singapore. We will really need some time to get used to the food here.
Look at the amount of oil!! 
Some really nice cake designs we saw outside the bakery
The necessities we bought, including pails, hanger, kettle.
Their supermarket, similar to the Giants in Singapore
After much exploring of the area, we found a KFC and decided to have a small rest in there. The taste here are quite different from those in Singapore. Most important, they did not sell my favorite cheese fries!
Some other school around our area
Look at the amount of rubbish!!
Never ending stretch of street with all the road side stalls
One of their public transport, trishaw-like taxi
We also went to another shopping mall to have a look and get some other necessities such as air refreshener, mineral water and some tidbits. Their entrance was very special, instead of those normal sliding door you usually see, they use those flaps that are usually use for cold storage warehouses.
Crowded night market
Our dinner!
The cup i bought!
Next up: the GREATEST invention of all time....

The toilet chair!!
This is really going to save our legs from 42 days of torture and we can finally do our business in peace without worrying about breaking our legs!
Reflections
After 2 days in Wuhan, I realise that whenever you pay your bills with large notes such as 50rmb or 100rmb, they will tend to check the note first. This shows that there are still many fake currency notes circulating around, this was never a problem in Singapore. You could just pay using large notes and they will usually not check your money.
