Went out with Mingyu and Erwin to 老鼠街 again. They wanted to go to this hair saloon that they saw yesterday to have their hair done. The place was quite grand and nice. Took bus 907 to there and they spent about 3 hours inside doing their hair while I was just taking a nap and chatting with the people there. We also found out that to be a hairstylist in China, you have to be train for at least 1-2 years before you can be a professional hairstylist.

Reflections
Whenever we communicate with the China people here, all of them will ask if we were from Guangzhou. When we told them that we are from Singapore, they will be quite surprised. Furthermore, not everyone here knows about Singapore. Some even ask us about in which part of China is Singapore at.
The taxi drivers here in China are also very friendly and easy to communicate with. When we actually asked the driver about the good shopping areas that we can go, he actually told us quite a few places and even gave us directions on how to go there. Seeing that we are foreigners, he even gave us a discount for the taxi fare and even wished us to have a pleasant trip in China. This isn't something that you can get to see much in Singapore. The drivers here do not usually even chat with you and will just remain quiet throughout the whole journey.
