but today Mr Chua release us earlier to rest for the upcoming weekend trip to the Three Gorges.
since Ernest has been pestering me that he want to buy a duffer bag.. so to ensure his safety..
i accompany him.
we went to 鲁汉广场.
both of us were been STRONGLY encourage to board on the mini taxi van because in the van there's already three guys who is going to 鲁汉 and thus will bring us directly to our destination for 2 yuan which is the same fare as the public bus.
Half way through, the driver pick up a lady and was charged for 3 yuan, after knowing that the driver only charge both of us of 2 yuan each, she start quarreling with the driver for over 1 yuan.
during the quarrel, idioms were been use during that period.
Ernest bought a Dakine bag for 167 Rmb and head over to the Adventure shop (TraceBoard) there which is so much similar to those in Singapore such as Campers Corner & Adventure21.
On the shop window of TraceBoard there a sticker ' GOR-TEX ' both Ernest and i were quite excited when we saw that sticker so we rush in to check it out.
we comb the shop for international Gor-tex brand we hope to see but.... only china brand..
i bought a water bottle (500ml) for 64 yuan and was given discount because i joined their life time membership, thinking that we may went back to that shop again to buy some adventure stuff.
Time for dinner!!
we took bus 903 back to campus to meet up with the usual.
during the ride back to campus, we got to be alert for pickpocket as our valuables might get stolen without knowing.
body contact was quite inevitable because of the crowd, i feel like a real sardine in the can as it is really pack worst then taking the MRT or walking along Orchard in Singapore.
the lucky thing is that, due to my height, i'm able to breath some fresh air in the crowded bus.
As for dinner we went to the nearby restaurant, NanYang Fishball Restaurant, for a fabulous meal.
the main course, fishball steamboat, was the best.
the fish ball was made totally out of real fish with only starch to make the meat together.
it was quite soft compared to those fishball we ate normally in Singapore.
we also ordered some dishes too, rice bowl were been refilled 3-4 times.
had fulfill dinner and the bill was cheap - 100 Rmb
the owner gave us a 9 Rmb discount so that we have good impression of the restaurant, and will go back to eat again.

the remains..
after dinner, we went over to the mini night market for some 'dessert'which is next to the restaurant.
a makeshift rubbish bin.
eating the barbeque mutton3stick - 2 yuan
hot & spicy.
Reflection:
Observed that even when quarreling with others, idioms were being use during the conversations which cant be seen in Singapore.
So to promote better chinese education or bring our Mother Tongue up to a higher level , we should try to use idioms in conversation even when quarreling with one another.
Its rare to see some dishes which are not spicy and hot, which i think that spicy and hot spices are to heat up the body tempreture in this cold climate.
