Everytime we have an excursion or industrial visit, Mr Wong will always summarize it for us because he knows that we may have missed out on certain things. (:
Therefore, before starting on BPE lesson, he told us that not many Chinese people have went to Wudang Mountain. Opportunities like this are indeed very rare. I think one of the reasons is because of the travelling distance that they have to travel to Shiyan, west of Hubei Province, in order to go to Wudang Mountain. As China is a very big country (9 596 960 sq km), they would need to travel long distances and it would be quite expensive unless they have their own transportation. Furthermore, the entrance fee is not cheap either. Maybe those are the reaons why not many have gone to Wudang Mountain. We are the lucky ones. (:
Mr Wong also shared with us his experiences in Egypt and Nepal, in which he climbed to the Everest Base Camp. I love these sharing sessions; there are many things to learn from about life around the world. He told us that two of his friends actually gave up on the climb because they couldn't take it anymore and so they turned back. I guess it wasn't an easy climb at all.
I have never really given up on trying to learn the Chinese language, especially with much help from Xinhui. Sometimes I do understand what the Chinese people are saying only that I don't know how to reply. I understand because I used to watch Chinese dramas in Singapore. Hahaha. Well, the best way out is just to point or do some actions to communicate. But I know that they know we are still clueless on what each other is trying to convey. Hahaha.
Today was quite a casual day though. After dinner, I had some trouble finding a rubbish bin to throw my empty bottle and it is inappropriate to just throw it anywhere. In Singapore, you can see the green rubbish bins almost everywhere. (:
I wish they had more of these around though, not only at Wudang Mountain. (:
priceless learning. (:
