Felt that I've somehow grow to be more independent through this OIP trip after a good 5 days in Tianjin here:)Woke up early in the morning after the whole night of APPG revision with Yiwen, Kris and Rachael.They stayed over at our room and I'm sure they found out how 'PIG' i could be=XWas kind of bored and instead of giving a formal morning call, we decided to do a prank morning call!!HAHAHA!Called quite a few rooms and see whether they were awake already.Told them that there's a girl waiting for them outside their room and some of them really went and open the door to check out!!*JOKE of the day*Laughing hard early in the morning really gives the Abs a good exercise yeahh:)
Went on to buy a map and took 829 to 南市食品街 which is around 14 stops away.Was able to find out way there and meet Weehong's buddy Yang Rui who really do us a really huge favour by bringing us around and even gives good advice on which stuff to buy and whether there's a better Bargain else where.Felt a little guilty as i felt that somehow we've left her out sometimes when we got too engrossed with our shopping, however, I've made the effort to try chatting to her and at the some time got to know a little more about their students lifestyle here in Tianjin:)She works as a Part time tourguide in Beijing and studies Business with Community Services!Something that NP also offers too:)
The amount of interesting local delicacies found at the food street is really tempting and we ended up getting out of the street with handful of FOOD!!Tried the cold noodle, Local well known MA HUA and beefball bun:)There were quite a few old man begging us for money as we walk along the streets and i learn from yang rui that they usually approach the tourists for their income. Find really interesting building structures and signboards along our way to 古文化街 and find that the Singapore could have such interesting and cute signboards too!:)
Learn the skills of bargaining yeahh!From $180 RMB, we bargain and ended up paying ONLY 90RMB for a really nice WATCH!!Imitation brand though:X
Really got to thank Yang rui for helping us so much and even went and help us bargain for some of the things we bought:)You made our day yeah!:)
A group of them also went to have their portrait drawn by this master just for $2 sing!*Jaw dropped*Find it really amazing at how these chinese people are so skillful and they made full use of skills to earn themselves a living:)
Lesson learnt today:Learn to obeerve and weigh the risk at every situation and being in the foreign land, all the more should we be careful with our words and actions before we invite any unwanted troubles.Had pizza hut for dinner and tried some of their local pizza flavours which are not found in Singapore.While shopping for our daily neccessities at Carrefour, i realised they practice the same system as our Singapore Mustafa!We had to make use of this free lockers found in the mall and lock up our belongings before we get into the supermarket to shop.besides that, most of the locals bring along recycle bags with them while shopping and from there, i could see that Singaporeans should learn from them and be more environmental friendly:)
Took bus 12 back to our hotel after the whole long day of eye opening, sight seeing aand shopping spreee!!Time to work on APPG, Goodnights People!!!:D:D
P.S Some problems with uploading, will try to fix it tomorrow!:)
