Day 26 ; Passing by Bu Xing Jie
Saturday, March 28, 2009 We alighted at this place today. (: Supposedly, we could have went sightseeing but due to the rain, most of us did not go because it was really cold and windy. Therefore, our tour guide brought us straight to the shopping area which is called Bu Xing Jie. It was kind of drizzling but the coldness was still quite unbearable. On our way to the shopping area, we saw several cars which were well decorated with ribbons. It is quite obvious that someone is getting married. (: I think what differs their wedding culture with that in Singapore is that all the cars that are involved in the wedding are decorated with at least some ribbons. However, the car that the groom is in will be decorated with flowers as well so as to differentiate it from the rest. In Singapore, only the car that the groom is in will be decorated while the rest just follow behind. Hahaha. This is usually practiced in the Chinese wedding but for Malay wedding, the car may not necessarily be decorated. Along the shopping area, there were some "exhibitions". Hahaha. We then decided to take photos with them. The three of us trying to imitate someone's trademark pose. Hahaha. Group photo with the turtle! That's me hugging the turtle. (: We didn't really shop much because the things there were quite expensive and also we didn't bring alot of money out with us. When we were walking around, the place looks kind of familiar. Indeed, it was because we have actually been there during one of the days when we had our own free and easy time. Remember Mr Chen who showed us the way to Wal-Mart? That was exactly where we went today as well. What a total coincidence. We then decided to go there again and shop at Han Zheng Jie! (: The big hole at the top of the building. Hahaha. It is kind of contradicting on how we thought that the building would shelter us from the rain but it turns out that the rain would still fall on us. It is just like how if we were to buy something in Singapore which cost S$40, we would not think that it is very expensive because we are already used to that range of value. However, if converted to China's currency, it would be an estimation of 160RMB, which we would think that it is expensive. I hope I can get my point across though. Hahaha. Xinhui and Nadiyah enjoying the sweet potato that we bought. I have never tasted sweet potato in Singapore before and this is actually my first time. The one we bought wasn't as sweet as the one that Randolph bought. They said the more orange the potato is, the sweeter the taste is. That's why I love the colour orange. Hahaha. (: Coincidentally, we met our tour guides again. Qin ge and Han Xuan. (: He was around the area because he was leading the ECE students to the shopping area as well. For Han Xuan, she was actually the tour guide for bringing people from Yichang to here. I finally believe that it is fate which brought us together to meet them again. This time round, it will definitely be the last time that we will see them. There are indeed plenty of acquaintances in the world but very few real friends. I don't consider them as acquaintances but rather, friends who have touched my life even for a short moment of time. (: real friends are too precious to lose. (: |
