day 3 - a trip to town

day 3 we went to the mall today around noon , we meet mr loh around 11 in the morning after some delays . we took a 30min bus ride to the mall , it was my first time taking the public bus in wuhan it cost 2yuan per trip irregardless of distance . the ride to the mall was smooth while the journey back was a tedious one maybe it was peak hours that we took the bus . to my surprise there was a conductor on the bus to collect payment as well as shout the alighting stop, the conductors are kind of rough when they are collecting payment they would push and squeeze through the crowd just to collect the 2yuan bus fare. we shopped around the mall for groceries again and went to their arcade as well , then we
headed back to the school grounds in the evening as well as have dinner at the food street near by .

my reflection
i feel that people here don't trust each other as compared to Singapore , an example would be the public bus ride today i saw that the conductor have to push and squeeze through the packed bus just to collect the fare compared to us using the ez link card in Singapore . i think that the people here in china need to change their attitude, today on the bus some guy missed the stop instead of speaking nicely he shouted some vulgarities to the bus driver .
