Day 38 - 老鼠街

After knowing that presentation was cancelled today, everyone went crazy! Everyone was rushing to the toilet to get ready for our shopping spree again, but this time at a new street. Went out at around 12 plus and off we go.


After reaching, we entered this shopping mall “chicony” which is a total replica of our Takashimaya/Paragon.

Chicony.

Doesn't this look like Taka?

Went to the basement for lunch at ‘Ajisen Ramen’ which costed only half the price of Singapore’s.

My spicy beef noodles.


After filling up our tummies, we went out of the shopping mall to look for cheap items. Walked on for quite long and it was all IT stuffs. The whole area was like 4 Sim Lim Squares surrounding you. Tried to find the small street that our driver said that there was plenty of clothings and yes after walking for quite some time, we found the street.

Shopped for awhile before heading for our dinner at KFC! Tried their egg tarts =D

Delicious but OILY Egg Tart!

My burger for the day~


Headed for ‘mouse’street (老鼠街) after that.


Cabbed back to our hostel and turned in for the night =))


Reflections:


After 38 days in Wuhan, we are left with only 3 days before heading back for Singapore. And so, we are trying to cover all major shopping areas in Wuhan. Without the supervision and advice from our parents, most of us seemed to be spending not within our means which includes buying unnecessary stuffs just because it is cheap. Some of them have started to withdraw excess money because they have spent more than their actual savings. In the past, we were all too reliant on our parents to help manage our finances. And spending was not a problem because whenever we need money, we just have to reach out to them. After leaving alone for quite some time, managing my own finances has became part of my daily life. Before buying any thing, consider if it is an impulse buy or you really like that item. I have picked up many life skills unknowingly through my daily life. And this would definitely make me a better person in time to come.

xanier!
