Hey everyone~ I'm back!!
Day 7! Free and easy day! Basically I didn't do much today, woke up at 9am, went for a jog, came back, slept a bit to 1pm, ordered macdonalds, do my journal and a bit of tutorial, went out for dinner, back and complete my journal, now going to sleep!
That was how my day was basically. Went to jog at the running track introduced to me by Matthew, a British guy whom I met yesterday. Kinda surprising isn't it? Coming to china and making friends with a British guy. The track was quite rustic already, basically like everything else in the university and around it. Part of the track was covered with dirt and the tracks have already opened up. The morning air was still quite chilly when I went to jog with my friends though. First time I had to wear a jacket and track pants to jog - and I still feel cold. Saw some old folks playing golf at the track. Seems like they have a way of finding entertainment for themselves! Went back to my dorm and took a nap after running about 5 rounds! Did my previous journal all the way to dinner time!
Ordered macdonald when I woke up! It was Arthur's treat! Got to try the double cheeseburger with bacon and I can tell you, it is very nice! The delivery was damn fast too! We ordered at like 1.30pm and the food reached at 1.35pm!
We went out for dinner with Mr Daniel Lim and Matthew, at greenery cafe! The only cafe/restaurant that serves western dish at the place we are at. Ordered an american set which consisted of a salad, a soup, a dessert, a drink and a main course. It costs RMB$88, and the main course, which is the Sirloin steak with sausages cost RMB$68 a-la-cart. Which is quite a good deal if you ask me. $4 more for a soup, salad, dessert and a drink! The one thing I hate about them is that they choose to serve all the dishes together and not in order! So I was quite messy when all of the dishes just come at once! Soup, salad, dessert, main course and the drink! Still managed to eat the food though, I ordered my sirloin with medium doneness but it came out medium rare or even rare! Seems like they just seared the outside, and it wasn't really that juicy but what to expect out of such a cheap steak right? The salad and soup was okay, even though I had to change my soup 3 times due to the first 2 soup I ordered being sold out. The dessert was pretty nice too!
Walked back to our dorm after that, got to learn why fish are so expensive in Wuhan, mainly its because Wuhan is far away from the seas and it is hard to transport fishes into the city, thus explaining why most of the fishes that we eat are freshwater fishes and the prices of fishes in the city! Learning something new everyday!!!
Shall update till here for now~ tata~~
