Day 33 - Last 2nd day in Wuhan

The last second day in Wuhan! Well, most would rush and do some last minute shopping. But, for Yan Fang and me, we decided to spend the time at a slower pace, a more relaxing manner. We accompanied Carol and Dion to the salon, 发源地 to get their hair done. I was actually planning to join Kimberley and the rest to go shopping at 名众乐园 in the afternoon, the so-called “Far East Shopping Mall”. But, I was so excited to see Carol and Dion with their new hairstyles, so I decided to stay in the salon and wait for them. While waiting, Yan Fang and I chatted. We had a great time chatting. She’s a nice buddy to chat with. Well, let’s chat again soon! :D

After some hours, they are done! Carol had her hair dyed and cut her fringe.  The hair stylist created some temporary curls for her as well. As for Dion, he has a massive makeover. He perm and dyed his hair! We were all excited to see his family’s reactions tomorrow and our classmates’ reactions when school reopens.

Carol and Dion. They look like some super idols! :D

When we returned back to our dorms, I received a call from Hidayah, saying that they need a translator in the salon. So, Yan Fang and I went back to the salon again. I guess we have been going there so many times that we know the hair stylists and the lady boss too well! Haha! Besides Hidayah, Nabilah, Aini and Hazirah were there too. All of them went for haircut, i think:) Hidayah and Aini had bangs now:)

On the way back to dorm, we accompanied them to the halal stall as they wanted to thank the stall holders. They even presented a souvenir for them, a plastic S$5 note. They seemed happy!

Hmm. The last night in Wuhan, so we must definitely treat ourselves with the delicious street food from 堕落街. It’s a must! Haha! We were glad that the stallholder selling oysters and clams was there today! He has been taking off days for the past few days. Finally, he was there and we could have our final servings of oysters and clams before leaving Wuhan. Besides that, we bought many other food like 汤包, fries, chicken, skewered chicken, 蛋仔 and many more. Oh ya! We bought milk tea as well.

I will miss running past the smoky street, 堕落街to buy food.

Waffle, commonly known as 蛋仔. This is where we get to know the little kids:) This place brings back many wonderful memories :D

CLAMS! :)

At around 12am, we had our mutton feast in Dion and Eddy’s room. They bought about 200 sticks of mutton. Can you believe it? They really love the mutton from the mutton stall.

 

Reflections: I can't believe I had been living in Wuhan, away from my friends and family for the past 5 weeks! Time flies! I really think that the malay girls: Hidayah, Aini, Nabilah and Hazirah are really brave! They do not know Chinese well but they were still able to get around in China, taking cabs to unfamiliar places for shopping. They seriously bought a lot of stuffs! I heard that they drew out what kind of hair services they wanted in the salon too! That must be really amusing:) Oh well, it must be a great experience for them. Being in a country which speaks a different language you are familiar of, it must be a really tough job. But, the malay girls proved me wrong. It seems that they are adapting well in Wuhan. Good Job girls! :D
