LAST WEEK IN WUHAN
8th April 2010
Woke up early on Wednesday morning for Outward bound. Had been waiting for this moment since the first day of the program because I’m quite an adventurous person. In the morning we play a game, something like minesweeper. It is a game that needs trial and error. Manage to finish the game. Up next was a game about teamwork. It needs the cooperation from everybody. We try to break the time record for the second activity but fail to, but at least we tried our very best. If we have more time to practice, we might break the record.
The day that returns to our homeland. Have mixed feeling at that time. Wanted to go home but wanted to stay at the same time. Like what most of us had said, when we just started to adapt the life here we will be going home. True. Make quite a number of friends from other schools and also in china. Had great company for the past six weeks.
Remembering the first group of friends I had made. It was at the three gorges; it was pitch dark and we introduce ourselves in the darkness. Roughly know who they are. When we are at the dam, I was the only student from LSCT staying up late to watch the opening of the dam. Luckily, some of the friends that I had made were there and they keep me company.
Also during the climb at Wudang Mountain, realized that someone had the same name as me. We support each other to continue climbing although we do not know each other well.
Friends are the only support when we are in a foreign country. Without them I may not enjoy the days in Wuhan and also may just pack my bags and go back without learning anythings.I had experience a lot of new things here. Initially, I did not even want to go Wuhan at allas China was not my ideal place fro holiday. Now I think I had make a right choice, coming here experience new things that other students might not get a chance to experience. Remembering shivering in the class due to the cold weather, remembering the flight of stairs that we need to climb before going to class. In Singapore, we just take lift up if our classrooms are higher than second floor.
4th April 2010
Had a morning call from the receptionist. Wanted to sleep longer as the bed is really comfortable but we need to assemble for breakfast at 8am. So reluctantly, I drag myself to prepare for the day. It was my father’s birthday sms him my wishes. Had a good breakfast. For me I think it was the best breakfast for the entire trip. There are fried dough sticks. Although they had turn cold but they still taste nice. The 1st place that we went is the Mei Ren Gu. No climbing of stair or hills. It has different scenery, different feeling. It’s a very nice place. We sat on the wooden boat – a man rowing the boat. Compare to the one we had a 3 gorges I think the one at 3 gorges is more tiring. The water at 3 gorges is deeper hence more strength is needed to row the bow. There are waterfalls there and it is really cooling when we are near the falls. The scenery is very nice I hope that they could preserve this natural beauty so as let the later generation to experience the same feeling.
Next up is to a cave call Xian Ren dong. Another thing that you cannot see in Singapore. We had a long walk inside the cave. We took about 1 hr to get out of the cave. At some points we need to bent down to walk as the place is very low. I knock my head once, and it hurts. The guide describe some of the stone as animals. Are there naturally form or just manmade. Seeing all this natural forms, my mind flash through what my geography teacher had taught- the formation of caves. Had a hard time to remember all processes. Now seeing the real caves, I can actually remember and understand what the teacher is talking about. Probably, teacher’s can change another method to teach student, example bringing students to reality and lie them feel and experience. I think could lead to a better understanding.
After the visit to the cave, we headed to a mechanics shop as there is something wrong with the wheels of the bus. So for our safety the driver repair it firs before we headed back to our hostel. I think the wheels had worn off due to the bumpy road and the speed the driver is driving. I think the driver should decrease the speed as safety come first; there is no need to rush back to our hostel. After repairing the wheels, we headed back to our hostel. On our back, I saw the driver spit while driving. I think this is very unhygienic; there are many ways to clear the spits. After 4 hrs we finally reach our hostel and rest after the long ride.
3rd April 2010
Woke up early in the morning to assemble to set off for Lu Ling. Had a slight headache in the when I woke up, wanted give up on the trip, but think about the money I had spent for this whole programme, I reluctantly drag my feet to the assemble place. Had about 4 hrs ride to our destination I think most of us had used to the duration of the ride, after so many trips. We had a bumpy ride, the bus driver drive the bus very fast that we could not really sleep, just let our body sway with the bus. Also the bus driver keeps horning, and this is totally irritating. I think he is creating noise pollution. I think the bus driver is a little impatient, maybe he wanted us to get to our destination at the shortest time. Something we could not experience back in Singapore, if we speed up a little we will get summon as speed cameras. Another thing is that the bus driver even speeds while heading up a hill. I think this dangerous. If anything goes wrong I might not be writing this post. I think the ride to lu lin feels like roller coaster. 4 hrs later we finally reach our destination and had our lunch first and check in to our hotel. Most of us were delighted to see our room as we think that this is the best room we get so far and most importantly the bed is soft. For the past 5 weeks, I had slept on a bed that is as hard as wood. Beside our hotel, there is a plough land and a hanging bridge and we played there. Another thing that we could not see in Singapore.
After that we went to our 1st scenic spot, it was a beautiful place up on a mountain. We need to climb up a little. Got a little scared after the Wudang climb. It was also quite tiring. It is something we cannot experience and see in Singapore. We also took a bus to each scenic spot. Again the bus driver drove the bus recklessly. Scarier this time, as we are getting higher and higher. Enjoy ourselves up the mountain. There are statues showing people during wartimes. There are statue horses there and I mange to climb to take photos with the horses. Had not been exercising (besides wudang climb). Another good time for exercising. Had a great time up there. Nothing much to say about the scenery as it something that we could not describe in words. Furthermore, we had seen something similar for the past. After that we headed back to our hotel for dinner and rest for tomorrow’s schedule.
2nd April 2010
No school on this day, did nothing much. In the afternoon, the china friend, Yuming came to our dorm as Shiyi and I wanted to interview her for our IS reports. Didn’t manage to get a full answer but got a little information about what I was going to do. Had a long chat with her and get to know some of her background. According to her, she lives very far from Wuhan hence she seldom returns to her hometown. Also, she mention about the culture back in her hometown. Most of her relatives live in the same village. From this, we can see that the relationship between each relative is very close. Unlike what is in Singapore, most of them stay a distance from each other and seldom meet each other, only meet each other during special occasions. Besides that she also mentions about parents favor sons. I thought that in the modern era, this mindset had faded away, however it still exist. Maybe this only exists in the rural area. She also said that we will not see a girl’s name inside a family tree or genealogy unless she is willing to pay for it. But she didn’t pay for it as she thinks that there is no need to do that. Another shocking thing is that the names of female grandchildren’s name will not appear at their grandparent’s grave. I was shocked to know that because in Malaysia regardless of your gender, your name will still appear. After knowing I feel lucky to live in a country where gender is not an issue and I’m glad that my parents treat everyone in the family fairly. For me I think that both male and female should be treated fairly sometimes, as girls are part of the family too. It feels like you did not exist at all and also feels like you did not contribute to the family at all.
