Day 26 - Free as a bird

Due to the fact that we came back very late the previous night we’re all tired and some were even sick, so class was cancelled!
We took the opportunity to sleep in since we haven’t had the chance to do it since we were here. Since we didn’t have much work to do, we decided to head down to Jiang Han Lu to have Korean barbeque and watch a movie.





We checked out the prices from our local friends and found out that student price is way cheaper than the normal price, so we borrowed their passes. When we got there, we just bought the tickets as if those passes were ours! ( it was pretty obvious that they aren’t ours because all the passes we borrowed, they were guys and all of us were girls! ) And when the movie ended we just walked out of the theatre the same way we got in. Which is not very smart of them, cause if we wanted to make full use of the ticket we have we would have just walked into another theatre and watch another movie

the theatre is similar to Singapore's




Reflection
From this situation I realized that they don’t really bother if you’re cheating them they just want to get their job done and get paid and go home, they are not taking what they do seriously and professionally, if they did they would have a different exit from the entrance to prevent cheapo people to watch more movies than they are suppose to.
After that we went Jiang Han Lu’s backstreet to shop, the most significant thing that happened there was MeiXiu was almost pick pocketed and from what I heard from Jean (the witness) he just stood behind her like as if he was looking at stuff and suddenly his hand reached into her bag, luckily Jean’s reaction was quick and she shouted to stop the act. Then he pretends that nothing happened and walked away normally. We either have to be careful or the people here should just get a decent job and earn their own living!
And after that, I was being shocked by Sihao because out of a sudden, out of nowhere he tugged my bag, and me already very paranoid I screamed very loudly causing everyone to stop what they were doing and stare.
