Day 31

Once again! Along the road side of 建二 we visited less than 12 hours ago, we were on our way to 发源地.

Today, we woke up in the early morning just to accompany friends going to the salon. Reason being is that we, the serviced customers, were like singing praises about the salon! So they were like very interested in the hair makeover, and were eager to go to the place.

And HERE we are again, at the 建二 shopping street. We had our breakfast at the Macdonald, which surprised us that they actually stopped their breakfast meals at 10am, unless Singapore, which usually stops serving at 11am. Nevertheless, we grab the remaining hash browns and our breakfast is settled.




Went on to the salon and the people who are not doing their hair accompanied the people being serviced for around 5 hours.

Finally it is all done! Jamie and I went on to the 群光广场, also known as 光谷. This place is basically just another Singapore’s Bugis street, with a lot of mini stalls selling clothes, accessories and shoes.






As for dinner, we decided to try out the pizza hut here. The varieties are much lesser than Singapore’s, but honestly, the taste really does vary with the prices of it. Of course, the total bill for a regular size pizza and a spaghetti is about SGD$13, very cheap indeed! I never really post up the photos as we were stopped by the waitress, and she later pointed at the *NO CAMERA* signboard.

Not forgetting to mention, we saw something uniquely from Singapore! So proud of it!

As soon as the happy time flies, we were back to our hostel, happily counting at the things we bought~

HAPPY day!


Personal Reflection/Feelings:

Slowly that I learnt, the reasons that why Singaporeans developed a bad image of the China nationals.

First reason: When queuing in the supermarket, if the cashier is China national, they have this habit of waiting on one another friend to take over their place. They have this habit of chatting with one another before starting their work. In China, this behavior is considering that they are very close to one another and is a chatty and friendly impression.

Second reason: The China nationals express their happiness in a different way. When they are chatting with their friend happily, they will tend to increase their tone while talking into cell phone. Not really appreciated by Singaporeans though.
Nevertheless, the differences in culture must be understood before making judgments. So much more to be learnt.
