Day 38: Theme park and Jiang Han Lu


To thank our local friends, we decided to give them all a treat at a Brazilian restaurant, I’ve been to the ones in Singapore and I have to say it is almost similar except they aren’t as particular when they cut the meat. In Singapore, they really come in front of you and slice the meat paper thin on each and everyone’s plate but here in China they just cut in chunks, losing the essence of the restaurant.

After that we took a bus to “zhong qu gong yuan”! Finally we’re going to a theme park! Everyone in class has already been twice, the first time at “zhong qu gong yuan” and the second time at “dong hu” we totally missed the “dong hu” one because we didn’t walk deep into the park to find. Aren’t we losers?!

The theme park was really deep in the park we had to walk like 20 minutes before hearing the machines moving, when we finally got there we went around the park to decide on what rides to take, they don’t have a pay once and play all ride system, we have to pay for every ride that we want to take which is rather costly if you look at it from the China people point of view. The most expensive ride is 25 RMB and the cheapest 10 RMB and if you were to play everything it will cost a bomb!

Everyone else played this turning thing and the roller coaster while I watched them, I’ve never been a theme park person since young however I like going to experience the screams from the people that are on the rides.

The monkey is really scary!









Snow white and the 7 dwarf!


After that we headed to “Jiang Han Lu” to shop, but this time we weren’t our usual self. Usually when we get there we get all excited and go around buying load and loads of stuff. But today we were walking around like zombies with no life in us (our hearts probably knows that we’re going to leave China soon and we’re gonna miss it)

On the bus ride back, Jean was sitting at the window seat when the person sitting next to her decides to vomit! YES YOU READ IT RIGHT VOMIT! It was either to step all over the vomit to get out or climb over the seats to get out. Of course she chose the latter, she had stares and all but they were short-lived.
