Day 7 - The study begins..

Today was finally our first lesson since arriving in Wuhan. The class started at 10am and we started trying out the flexsim program that we were going to use for BPE(Business Process Engineering), the module we will taking in Wuhan.Getting ready for class!Teaching in process

After our morning class,we had our lunch break at 12pm. The weather today in Wuhan is really a killer, it went up to as high as 38 degrees! Most of us went to the wonton shop to eat again. Tried another flavour of the wonton and it was simply delicious!

After the lunch break at 2pm, we had a tour of the campus. Met up with the rest of the NP students from ICT and LSCT who are also in Wuhan at the adminstrative block before proceeding to the tour.


WUST welcomes new students from all over China!

One of the 2 schools we visited, Information Engineering School

Electronics laboratory

Mobile communcations test board

Our savior for the day, aircon!

The next school we went to was the School of Life Sciences, it was at the other far end of the campus. Its worse than walking from NP bus stop to block 46!

Medical Care Lab

After the tour, it was free and easy for us. Most of us went back to our hostel for a small rest, before going out for a jogging session lead by Xanier! It was my first real exercise since reaching Wuhan, had a campus run and did some cardio exercise.

Reflections
When we were at the wonton shop eating, I notice that when you are dining inside the shop, they actually do not collect back the plates and bowl even after you have finish eating. They only start cleaning and collecting the plates when you are going to leave the place. This is rather special as since in Singapore, most typical hawker centre and food court, the cleaner will actually start collecting the plates once they saw that you have finish it. Some will not even ask if you have actually finish and will just start collecting. This is actually a big difference in the social etiquette of both China and Singapore.
The facilities available in the school are also actually limited. Most of the classroom are not equipped with air-con, no wireless network was available and the most of the students here actually do not own a laptop. Whereas in Singapore, you can see that most of the area in NP actually have air con and almost every student actually do have a laptop. We are really fortunate as compared to the students here.
