Day Thirty-Two.

There is no lesson today which means today is a free and easy day for all of us. Left our hostel at around 1400 and took Bus 702 to 老鼠街 and somewhere near 光谷-GuangGu. Shopped at streets as well as the shopping malls and realized that the items sold in the mall are about the same price in Orchard, Singapore. But of course there are of more varieties here. All of us managed to get some things and we left hurriedly because we had to reach hostel at a certain time. 
This shopping mall which is similar to the malls in Orchard, Singapore
 Everywhere is their litter bin
 Hong Kong street snack, which tastes like pancake, 鸡蛋仔
Smelly Tofu 
Pineapple, sold almost everywhere at the roadside
After so long in Wuhan, our bargaining skills improved. At first, the salesperson will tend to mark up the price probably waiting for people to bargain with them. It is essential for everyone to bargain in China because the price is way lower which you cannot expect. If you buy something in a place, you will definitely see the similar item you bought in other places which of lower price. However, we cannot see this type of bargaining situation in Singapore because most of the productions are done in China. Goods transport to Singapore includes transportation cost as well. Therefore, the goods are of much cheaper in China than in Singapore.
