樱花——东湖excursion
Monday, March 30, 2009
I only knew that there would be a class excursion to 武汉大学and 东湖 when i left for class today. This trip was supposed to be on last monday but the plans were cancelled or postponed,i'm not really sure... that's why i was kind of surprised that we are going for a little class excursion today. Immediately after lessons, I rushed back to my room to grab more food. Chonglei helped me buy my lunch,it was fried beef horfun-although the taste was horrible,i still gobbled it down my tummy.Our first stop was at 武汉大学, we came here mainly for the beautiful 樱花树.

我们败在汉口...
Saturday, March 28, 2009
Early in the morning at 730am,the 8 of us went to 汉口to shop. We hailed 2 cabs there and our 1st stop was 多福路. We went into a wholesale shopping mall with plentiful of shops. Some of the clothes were nice, i saw 1 really chio vest but i didn't buy it cause the shop assistant refused to give a better bargain. Next stop we walked to 老鼠街after asking around for directions and walking on wet and muddy grounds. It rained for a few hours and we were still freezing cold even when we wore thick layers of clothing. Before we did went in to shop in 老鼠街, our stomachs were soon hungry,so lunch was at 豪来客--a restaurant that resembles Han's and Swensens.

It was similar to Bugis Street but the things here have more variety and it's slightly cheaper. Then, we took a cab down to 江汉街. There were many shops selling sports stuff like adidas,nike,converse etc. I was more interested in the factory outlet stores they had a few streets away. We shopped till 5.15pm and we finally took a cab back to school. I had sushi for dinner.

i ate this last week,it's called 双色寿司拼盘
我的战利品~I was sooo tired after shopping from morning to evening. 9hrs of continuous shopping was just a BIT too much. I'm exhausted and sleepy. I'll be back to 汉口for another round of shopping spree,well if time permits again.
