Anyway we headed to the steel factory where they make steel sheets from scratch.
Melting-> cooling->Rolling->Quality check->Store.
This is pretty much the process of making steel. Watching the process of it was pretty boring as we couldn’t hear what the guide was talking about, however looking at the steel come out from the machine (which was all handmade by the way) to the cooling process and rolling process its definitely a sight that I will not be able to see in Singapore because Singapore doesn't make steel due to space constraints and all we have to get our steel from other countries. Maybe they come from China?
Miss Zhang our IS teacher
IS lesson was pretty interesting, learning about china history, politics and economy was good exposure however the slides that were given was really dry. It didn’t have colour or pictures so it didn’t really catch my attention. The one thing that caught my attention was the part on communism,The Communist Party of China was founded in May 1920 in Shanghai, and came to rule all of mainland China after defeating its rival the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War. The CPC claimed 75.93 million members on 9 October 2009 which constitutes 5.6% of the total population of mainland China.The shocking part was that the teacher was part of a communist group when she was younger. And joining these groups are of your own freewill however they prefer to choose those who are more incline in their result VS those not so smart ones.
After lesson we went on a search for 冰糖葫芦 at some street that the local students told us.We're getting use to getting around, all we have to know is the bus stop's name, we check out which buses get there hop on to the bus and listen out for the stop ! Pretty much the same as SG, just that the bus doesn't stop at every stop and they don't have a recorder to tell you the current and following stop, and I think SG should implement it because it's really useful !
the bus ceiling is very very low :/ and we look like giant's
The street was pretty much like Chinatown during Chinese New Year, rowdy, crowded rowdy and just pure squeezzy!
Wudi, our local friend came to meet us after his lesson and brought us to this river and if i didn't hear him wrong the river is called 长江 which is the one that we're going to tomorrow!
the bridge with train tracks at the 2nd tier and road on the top tier
He told us that that track was built in 1949, and i vaguely remember him saying that many people go there to commit suicide which i think is dumb cause why end your life just like that? Just make changes with life and it can go on smoothly, dying would not change anything. The problem will still be there and left for those you left behind to settle it for you.
