Had IS class in the morning at 9am, today was yet again another different lecturer teaching us about Chinese traditional thoughts. We will actually have another lecture from him on Taoism and Buddhism. I also heard that the lecturer that is teaching us today is actually the dean of the foreign language school!
Lecture time!
Some questions given by him to let us reflect on
We had the whole afternoon to ourselves, so some of us decided to go to town to just enjoy and have a good meal. Erwin, Edy, Daniel and Adrian actually took the taxi the other 7 of us took bus there. This was our second time taking the public transport here in China, I must say it is really a totally different experience as compared to Singapore. Many interesting things happened along the way and when we actually reached our destination we even almost forgot to get off the bus!
The place we had our lunch! The beef steak here is really nice
The waitress cleaning up the table for us while we wait to be served
There is actually a haunted house inside of this shopping mall, all of us shall come here next week to try it out!
Reflections
In China, I actually notice that you could stop the bus and board it even if when you are not at the bus stop. We actually tried this out and it actually works, as long as you are within 100 metres of the bus stop you could actually flag it and it will stop for you to board it. Whereas in Singapore, even if you are just 10 to 20 metres away from the bus stop, the bus driver will some times just actually drive off without waiting to let you board the bus.
When we were on the bus, we actually forgotten to alight when it was at our stop. But the bus conductor actually shouted at us to tell us that we have actually reach our destination. When one of our friends actually did not manage to get off the bus in time, the other passengers in the bus will actually help to get the bus driver attention to ask him to open the door for our friend. In Singapore you actually don't get to see this often, most of the people in Singapore will just sit around and pretend as if nothing have actually happened and will just stare at the person that is actually still stuck on the bus and they did not offer any help at all.
