Cannot go anywhere cause the recreation centre is closed. then we went to walk around buy some stuff and then go back to dorm slack. and finish up IS.

My topic on photo essay is on buildings.
Photo essay is a photo with text describing the photo.

The first photo. This is the photo we took at the GuangDong airport, the design of the buildings is quite unique, it is like many airport have many different design. in singapore the airport there also have unique design. The whole airport is very packed with people, then there is also quite alot of tourist around there. but mostly is the local. More about the building, it is very nice and inside is very warm.

The first building that we saw after we arrived at the school, the building was quite big in size, but don't really look develop in anyway, just some typical old buildings, but quite cool. the colour quite retro, maybe they should repaint it to bright colours. the stairs infront of the buildings is also very old. the whole buildings is old and behind of the building there are lots of cracked area and they just typically use cement to ment it.


This is the building that we study at for our core module. it is quite old and raggy, it is like it will break down easily. the painting of the building is like dropping off alot. and then there is crack everywhere.


The inside of the school building, there is lots of flag hanging on top of the ground floor. then we observe that the china flag is hanged every 2 flag. example singapore flag, malaysia flag then china flag, indonesia flag, vietnam flag then china flag again. the ground floor have a table tennis table and a few tables and chairs. quite cool. then there is one stage at there. most of the people in this building understand simple english. because they study english here. then the building is very old because all the railing got rust and then the toilet here is all very smelly, no toilet paper, then the door is also very low, if i stand up almost half of my body can be seen.



Now coming to Lu Xiang. this is taken at Lu xiang, basement. there is lots of banner hanging there, the malls is quite big, or should i say very big, it is like more bigger than vivo city. but then the toilet here is hard to find, i don't know where to find toilet, there is lot of shop selling the same things. Lu Xiang is quite develop for a malls in Wuhan.



This building is a building outside Lu Xiang, it attract my attention because the overall appearance look like our singapore durian, esplanade. then there is some words in red colour in the middle of the building, it is cool. and nice also. i think when it is at night it should be very nice.



This is also some high rise building that i had seen in wuhan, quite cool. this is like so nice to see something farmilar. because singapore is filled with high rise building, when i see something that look like singapore, i might miss home.


This is some of the building that we saw it around the school zone, it is like very old building then the inside if the building is also very old with old furniture and stuff. it is available for people to stay in it, but i think no one is going stay inside for it is too scary. and there is two hut which is toilet, infront of these building.



These two hut are the toilet that are found in front of the building. outside of the hut look like some sort of mogolian house. inside of the hut is toilet and the toilet is very dirty and then the watere tap also spoilt. the door of the toilet is also very low. and then the window can be see to the inside of the toilet.


This is the yellow crane tower on fourth day of the trip. the tower is very tall, then the tower is very big, and many people were visiting the tower at that time. the people there include local and tourist. the yellow crane tower is the building that represent Wuhan.


The entrance of the yellow crane tower, there is ticket collector at there. the entrance look like those ancient shelter, it is quite cool to see such building as in singapore , you can only see such shelter on television.


The overview from the top of the yellow crane tower, we took these photo at the highest level of the tower. the view is magnificent and beautiful. the building there is all old old one. then there is only some high rise building at there. the wind there also very big and cold.


This place is at the dong hu, it have some archery range that let people to play at there, the shelter look like want to fall down one. then the range is very small.



The building of the museum, looks cool and big, it is very big and spacious. they have a typical kind of rooftop, but i think this building is consider quite grand already as compared to other buildings.

Day38
Woke up early in the morning, then bath and wash up, after that we leave the dorm and took a van to Hankou Bu Xing Jie. the place is filled with branded stuff, we have our lunch and the chicken rice place. then we walk down all the way and all we see is branded stuff, after that we anyhow walk, we go the alley, walk around and then saw vans and stuff, and then we walk all the way around, walk to a mall and then the malls is filled with things, we go look around and buy stuff, we bought quite alot of stuff at the malls there, then after that we leave the malls and go to other malls to walk around, i think overall we spend like more than $800RMB today, i haven buy a single shorts sio. cause i cannot find one that i like, maybe i going to look around again, and then i need to buy a luggage to put my things if not my bag will burst. went back by cab, which cost about $70RMB, and i lose my cap on the cab, damn sian, after that we went to gym for about 30mins, and then went to mini mart to buy noodle and cook noodle to eat for our dinner, after dinner then we went back to our room and rest.

Day37

Day36
woke up very late in the afternoon, i think we woke up at about 5 plus in the afternoon, and then we do some works and we downstair to have our dinner at the restaurant, we order quite alot of stuff to eat, and we finish all the stuff that we ordered. i think i am eating too much after i come china, because when i am in singapore i seldom eat two bowl of rice, but once i come china, i eat more than 2 bowl of rice, sometimes even 4 or 5 bowl of rice. after eating, we bring our clothes to the laundry to wash it, it cost about $40rmb, quite reasonable pricing, after that we went back to our dorm and then went up to have our meeting at Mr. ma dorm. slack until quite late before we eventually sleep.

Day35
Counting down. 7 more days to get back to Singapore. the weather here is almost the same as Singapore already, it is getting warmer and warmer. today all of us woke up late, we woke up at about 7.50am, then all go into the toilet brush teeth, four people in the toilet brush teeth, then all of us was late for the activities. we quickly finished up our washing up and then go to the place located at outside our school, about 100 to 300 m walk from the mini mart. when we reach there, we still need to wait for more people to come because our group der people some still not yet there. we sit down at the area there and then wait for about 20 mins then all of the people reach here and then they started with some games, the games quite childish, very lame. after the games, the other group of people from NP der come and join us for the game. then we go on to start the activties, we make a group and then create group name and group logo. after thinking of all the name and logo, we finally choose Afro because our group got 3 curly hair guy. haha. and then 2 of them is they went to perm their hair. so cool lar. then the logo is our group captain face, damn cool. then we sign on the flag and our flag is ready. oh and we think of a cheer, the cheer is very nice, think by a girl in the other group, but heard that it is either NPCC or NCC cheers. quite cool lar. after that we cheer then talk about our flag, our captain damn funny, because his chinese not very good but then he still use chinese to explain the flag thing, then we laugh until peng. after that we were given 32 pieces of newspaper. these newspaper are to make into a big wheel which must be able to restand all the group mate weight and then we are to stand inside the wheel and march forward just like the tank wheel. so we try lots of methods of making and finally, we finalise with making the wheel by poking holes and use newspaper to make the rope and tie two newspaper together, this is a very good idea, i forgot who think of this idea already, but its cool. Finally the times is up but we still not ready, we still haven combine the head and the tail together, and then we spend like 1 to 2 mins tie-ing together and then we take our wheel to the competition area and place it in the start line, starting of the race, we are leading because many of the group wheel break and then our wheel also break after walking a distance, then we repair quite long before we go on, in the end the other group got number 1 and we got number 2, i think is quite good already. Number 2 is also good!!.

Lunch time, at about 11.20am, we went to have our lunch. we all was discussing where to have our lunch at. then in the end the conclusion is we go separate ways, 3 of us go KFC while the others go restaurant to have lunch, then after finishing our kfc meals, we went back to the place and many of the people are sick, so they did not went for the afternoon activities. we went to have our first afternoon activities, first is the trusting game, one person stand on a stand which is 1.5m high then his hand and leg are tied together then free fall from the back and then on the ground there is a few group of people catching the person, which mean the person on top must have absolute trust with the person below, so it is called a trusting game. i didn'y landed properly, if i land properly, the sound should be very nice. Next station, we do is the high element station. what you have to do is to climp up to about 8m high then walk on the board and jump over another board, these two board have a gap of 1.2m in the middle. normally guys have to just stretch their legs and they would be able to go over. after that we got to get down not be climbing but by free fall-ing. damn shiok. i think i complete the whole station quite fast. Finally the last station, rock climbing is cool. but too bad i didn't get to the top, i only go about 4/5 of the whole thing. if i use my force i might be able to climb the thing. that is the end of the activities.

Name:Aw Kang Liang(S10061007B)

1. Learning Objectives
From the oversea immersion program, I hope that I can learn to be more independent to prepare myself for the coming national service. I also want to learn more about the country, I am very curious about their cultural, history and their Wu-Shu. I heard that china is the origin of all the Wu-Shu, so I am a bit curious about how they created the Wu-Shu. I am also very curious about their history because I am a fan of the three kingdom history, like how do the Liu Bei fight with Cao Cao, and stuff like this. I also want to know more how the countries work. Lastly, I want to eat the local delicacy and compare it with Singapore local delicacy. I know a bit of the country, I heard that the country is quite dirty and then the food there is a bit salty and oily. Other than that just some history of the three kingdoms and the Great Wall of China, and lastly some Wu-Shu history. My curiosity makes me want to learn more about that country, and I want to gain some cultural intelligence to be able to work in china in the future. I think my learning can aid me in my work, I can either become a tour guide or a businessmen negotiating business with people in china.

2. Focus of Inquiry
I think I will focus everything in the history and the food in china, wuhan. I am very interested in the student life here, I want to know how it works here and compare it with Singapore’s student life. I think there should be a big different. I think getting some working relationship is also very good, maybe next time I might need help from the people here. Maybe my working partner might be any of the china people here, nobody can predict the future, so we must plan it early.

3. Question Of Investigation
What is the three kingdom history all about? Why did Liu Bei die, why did Guan Yu die? and how did the fight began?.
What is the food normally found in Wuhan? I want to taste more food in the china, many said that china food is nice. I think that the food in china represents Chinese, so I must at least try it. I also want to gain more knowledge of the type of food here.
What is the type of races that china have? I heard that china have much different type of Chinese; there is many type of clan in china. They have different type of culture and different practice.

4. Development of global skills
The three global skills that I wanted to learn in my trip are learning business related skills in china, learn to listen to china Chinese and the last one is learn to stay independent.
Learning business related skills in china can help us know about the strategies to doing business and negotiate with people all around the world. China economy is thriving so I think that many people would go china to do business. Take the example that now the economy crisis does not affect china much, however they are still rising in their currency.
Learning to listen to China Chinese can aid us in doing business in china, because china economy is thriving, that why many people will be coming to china and do business. If we don’t learn china Chinese then we would lose out in negotiation, they might say too much and then you cannot catch it, then maybe that part might be the important part. Learning china Chinese can also impress the people in china, they will have good impression of you because you make an effort to learn china Chinese.
Finally, we have to learn to be independent rather then dependent on parents. When we are out of Singapore, we have to take care of ourselves and do all the house chores all by ourselves. Learning independent also allow us to go anywhere without letting out love ones to worry about. I think that learning independent is the most important global skill of all as without learning independent then we cannot go anywhere to learn any of the global skills.


5. Learning strategies
I can learn the stuff by looking around and walking around the place, I can also learn the stuff from the visiting of the historical places. I can also get information from the people there and then read the newspaper. There are a lot of information we can gathered from the school, like the library and lecturers.

Day22

After that when the times he wake up, then we go to class together, he is like studying the paper. After that we waited outside the classroom for the first batch people to finish their lab test, I was anxious to find out whether is it hard or not, then I look inside, my dorm mate signal me that it is easy. Then we went in to take our lab test, everybody question is different, after we finish our lab test, we went to Hu Quan night market, it is so crowded and smelly. We went there by taking a van that drive peoples around. When we reached there, we went to walk around and buy stuff, I bought a few necklaces and cap. After that I went to walk around, and then time is running out, we got to rush back to the van there, because there is a meeting at 9.30pm. Then we rush back and went back to our dorm, after that we went up for meeting.

We run all the way to our block and then we are like 4 drenched man. and some more we are late for class, but Mr. Ma didn't scold us, we went back to our seat and then wipe our body dry. after that we eat some man tou. Went for class as per normal, the class was bored. Mr. Ma teach us about the summarize version of chapter 5 and 6. Chapter 5 was short but seem hard, because I was doing lab 5 for past 4 days, and it just cannot works. After that we went to have our lunch break before we went back and took our trial lab test, it is quite easy, only the last part is quite hard which I don’t really know how to do until my friend told me how to do. After that we went back to our dorm, didn’t really go anywhere. only me and nicholas was back in the dorm, the others was out to KFC and then stock up our food supply. they bought 36 eeggs. and some more stuff. So we stay at dorm studying, I was like teaching my friend some part they don’t know, it make me feels like I am a teacher. We study together until very late; I think is after 12am. I am sleeping lesser and lesser again; I want to sleep 10 hours. I am losing my sleep and losing my appetite.

Day19

Wake up at about 6.10am, I went to the toilet to wash up, and prepare to check out of the room. Arvind came to press bell at about 6.15am then we wake up, after that someone called our phone in the hotel and then after bath finish then we went to meet the others on the bus. When we go up the bus, the tour guide ask us whether we got leave anything behind or not, then Nicholas told the tour guide his wallet still in the drawer and the marc’s luggage still in the room. Then Mr. Chua teach us the real meaning of check out. It is very funny. After that we took the bus to the place we had dinner last night to have our breakfast at there. The breakfast in china is like very standard, buns, porridge, noodle, egg and some veggie. It is the same as the cruise. After eating, we went to take cable car, when queuing for the cable car, there is lots of commotion, there is one group of old people carry their son and throw inside the queue in the middle and then they say they long time ago already queue already but obviously is cut queue one. Because they are between our group and then we came in a group one. So we had learn that we must close every single gap between us. If not they will just cut in, and they quarrel very professional one. I took the cable car with the tour guide, and we chat a lot after that I climb up and then I went to find my group of friends and then we climb up and took photo. After taking photo we climb down and went to take cable car come down and then we took some photo there. we play the jumping photo. This means that we jump when the camera man going to snap photo, I accidentally hit Nicholas face during the photo taking session. After that we walk to the restaurant and had our lunch at there, the food there is inedible, I like eat a bit only then I went off already. Arvind cannot find his fork and spoon and then he use chop stick to eat, first time eating lunch with chopstick. We took bus back to our school; it takes about 6 hour before we reach the dorm. It is so tiring, the bus trips so long. All of us are very tired, thanks teachers for letting us to start class at 10am. Good night!!

Day18
Woke up at about 6.30am and then went to bath before packing up and go off to Wudang mountain, the journey was very long. The tour guide told us it is about 5 to 6 hours. My thought was can my butt take it, because 4 hour, my butt already want to die already. I sleep almost for the whole journey, and then we went to Wudang town to have our lunch at the restaurant. The lunch was not that good, the food is just ok ok only. After having our lunch we went to the bus and then we went to the bus terminal to take another bus to tour around Wu Dang Mountain, we stopped at three places and then took photo and then walk around. I think the place include Tai Zi Gong, Zi Xiao Gong and Nanyan Gong. We bought some stuff at Nanyuan Gong, the stuff we buy was the person who crave words on the rice grain. After that we rush down to take bus back to the bus terminal there, after that we went to the same restaurant to have our dinner at there. After our dinner, we went to the hotel to stay overnight, the hotel is very nice and then it is better than our dorm room, the room is big and then very comfortable. We went down stair and walk around there, went to buy drinks and then drink a bit and walk around, in the end didn’t buy anything. We went back to the hotel and then I went to sleep.

This photo are taken when we are on the way to Wudang, the bus trips is about 5 to 6 hours. so we took some photo when we see some nice scenery along the way.

On the way, we saw the status that tell us that we are reaching the place soon, which is the yin yang which symbolise the Wudang.

This is the Wudang Town, the town there is selling alot of stuff, like the sword and stuff. we went to eat at the wudang town there, the place look cool, we didn't have much time to spend on the town, after eating, we took bus to the wudang mountain.

Took this photo when i am bored on bus.

The entrance of Wudang mountain.

Mr. Chua help us take photo. the first photo show that one camera Vs 3 camera.

Took picture of the scenery when we are on the bus, most of the view are being blocked by tree, and the bus is travelling at a high speed so we are not able to take much photo.

When walking up the Tai Zi Bo, the stair is very high, climb until i very sian, then took photo.

Inside Tai Zi Bo, we walk around and saw the temple, we are told not to take photo of the god.

Took some photo and then went in to listen to the tour guide talking, after that we walk around.

Walk around the place, took photo and listen to the tour guide.
