Day 18
I’m on a very tight schedule today.

· Sight-seeing Cherry blossom in Wuhan University
· Si-men-kou
· Mo-shan 磨山

Give us a great hurray for us to have sight-seeing with the beautiful cherry blossoms! YAY!
We left the school as early as 8:30 am to Wuhan University. I fall asleep in the bus due to my tiredness.

Sakura is really beautiful. But it is extremely gorgeous when I get to see them real, not in the flat screen. White and pink cherry blossoms are very common around in Wuhan University. It is just such a waste that Singapore does not have the best weather and temperature for the cherry blossom to survive.

We went to Si-men-kou, hu-bu-xiang (司门口，户部巷) the food paradise. I tried the bing dang hu lu (sweets) for the first time in my life. I think the fruits is soaked and dried up with honey. The taste did not meet my expectation as I thought that it should be a lot sweeter and juicer. We tried other delicacies that are not available in Singapore:
· Dan Pi Juan (egg skin roll)
· Ice mango pudding
· Rice cake in wuhan style
· Grilled scallop and oyster
· Fried banana in wuhan-style

They tasted delicious, especially Dan Pi Juan. They tasted exceptionally heavenly. By pan frying the mixture of rice and thin skin of egg on the surprisingly huge pan, the rice tasted crispier and texture is so much better than plain rice.
We went to Mo shan for sight-seeing afterwards. We climbed the stairs to take the beautiful sceneries of Mo shan.

We go for the boat to sail around the river in Mo shan. One boat rental fee is RMB50. Upon considering their standard of life, it is rather an expensive leisure recreation. Baohui, Carmen, Kuanwee, Weiyang and I shared the same boat since neither the girls have any experience in driving nor the confidence to sail the boat. Weiyang start to sail the boat first before the driver changed to baohui. When baohui’s manipulating the driving pan, we saw one ‘naked’ man in the river. We all were shocked. Later we found out that he is just swimming in the river. Phew, he made us all flooding the boat with our cold perspiration. But I’m really impressed that he is able to swim in such freezing water. We played water with the other boat of people, Xiujin, Yankee, Teckchuan, Kiafu and Jianwen. Both team did not lost to them despite our side got soaked wet the most. My pants are half wet. The most soaked wet is baohui, she is soaking wet from her hair all the way to her jeans.

The bus stopped at Carrefour for our dinner. Initially, all of us decided to eat the Golden Hans for buffet, however, we need to wait for 2 hours, so we forsake this idea and eventually we split up and go for our dinner.

Here comes my Buffet!
It cost about RMB48 per person. We ordered a lot of food. Some of the food I liked best is their bacon egg and their fruits. Their fruits are so sweet and juicy!!
We came back to our hostel before 7pm. I guessed we are the earliest ones.
