End.
Good Night.
Reflection:
The campus was really big, as aspected.
With the hostel around, it let me think that the student here are eager to learn and would take every learning opportunity seriously.
As compared to us, we lack of those enthuism in learning, though our level of education is better and more facilated, which i think this is the area in where we need to change.

Our first time in taking the local public transport, bus.
The ticking system are different from Singapore.
Singapore uses ez-link card, which is way more convient just need to tap and go.
Where here, China, there two job scope in a bus, the bus driver and a ticking personal.
After board on to the bus, the ticking personal would come to you to collect the money, and then pass you a simple ticket recipt.

At the mall, more unfamilar brands pops out everywhere, other than those international outlet.
It also quite an eye opening experience where the mall is so huge and the structure of the mall is qute complex and while doing window shopping, it is like a never ending activity.

Had quite a nice time in travelling to the mall and exploring the area.
A great day.

After putting away our laguage into our rooms
we went to the nearest campus canteen - Canteen2.

Reflection:
Being the first time to step out of my comfort zone and step into a foreign land,China.
Things are very different from Singapore.
Especially the culture and the food.
The etiquette difference of the locals are very much divest compared to the etiqutte back in hometown.
Despite of those difference and not being used to it, i believe that its will be a great experience as well as a good learning point for me.
