day 15 - interaction time

We are supposed to have self-study in the morning to do our assignment 2 for our BPE module. Due to the lack of sleep, we didn’t wake up on time to do it. Woke up feeling hungry and so I went to buy “ji chong fan” for my breakfast and for Erwin, too. The “ji chong fan” here is totally different from the one in Singapore. The sauce is different and we can choose flavor for our “ji chong fan” they have chicken, pork or beef. I’m addicted to it now and I bought it in the afternoon again. It’s simply too delicious.

Today is our first outing with the local students. We went to the mandarin orange farm where we can pluck and eat oranges on the spot. The oranges were not that sweet, perhaps not the right season. The local students also buried some sweet potatoes on the ground topped with burning charcoal. The sweet potatoes were just very tasty and everyone got the chance to get a bite though.


I am looking forward to the Three Gorges Dam our coming week tour.

After the 3 hours of fun in the orange farm, we went back to hostel to get us prepared for the BBQ organized by the Chinese students. The food wasn’t that nice as what we have expected. Probably we are all not used to the BBQ food here.

it is my turn to BBQ

We were entertained by fireworks which were being fired by some of the ICT students halfway during the BBQ. The fireworks were so close that everyone covered their heads as it boomed up to the sky. As we didn’t eat that much of the BBQ food, we went off early to get our usual road side stall. We had our dinner quickly as we still have assignment 1 to catch up.

My reflection:

Upon hearing my lousy Chinese language, the stall owners definitely knew that I was a foreigner. I had a hard time buying my food as I could not read the menu and so they explained it to me slowly even though there is a long queue behind me.
Honestly, the stall holders here are more mannered and polite compared to Singapore. I guess it is because of the professional act they put in their job.
Today’s trip to the orange farm is organized by the local Chinese students. I find that they were all very well organized in doing things. They did head count frequently making sure none of us get lost. I could see the potential of being leaders in them. This is what we should learn from them, making the sense of leadership.
