Day 40
Made a trip down to wuchang's jie fang street(解放路) for shopping. This place has been recommended a lot of times, so we decided to explore and see if there is any suitable stuffs to purchase. As usual, we ordered a van again to drive us there. The ride for the whole van is 80yuan, so we each share the cost. Once reached there, we proceed to 首义园小吃街 to have our breakfast. The foods were pretty tasty, but not very cheap though. Went to continue our shopping journey after eating. Arrived at the shopping street and we started our shopping 'quest'. I bought only a jeans from Baleno shop.
Many old buildings are being demolished for new highrise.
not much people in the morning...
branded stores everywhere...
whole stretch of shopping stores
As we have a farewell dinner at our campus in the evening, we have to be back by 6pm. Therefore we have to shorten our shopping time unfortunately. We travelled back to school by hiring a van again. However, the van brought us to a wrong campus and he seemed unsure of the directions too. This made us quite concerned. Luckily he managed to drove us back, which took about 45mins. Once reached, we immediately rushed to the restaurant as we are already late. All the Ngee Ann lecturers, local IS teachers and local students were invited to the dinner. Everyone went busy snapping photos with one another after dinner.
A lot of dishes ordered, and almost every table couldn't finish it...

with the local students too. They are really nice students
Reflection:
The farewell dinner showed the strong bonding we had with the local people. They took the initiative to prepare this dinner for us, and the students even designed cards for us, which made us very touched. I feel that such enthusiasm is important for everyone. It simply reflects how the local people interact with the foreigners
