She used a slightly different method from Ms Zhang, like having class activities and not reading from the slides (!!). This made the lesson a lot more fun and I'm pretty sure I can remember most provinces in China because of her class activity.
I learnt lots of stuff today too, like the meanings behind attraction or province names. Like how Hubei is called Hubei due to it being north of the lake 洞庭湖(Dongting lake). Had fun explaining and translating all the meanings behind the provinces names to Diyanah and Sheila. I love sharing my Chinese heritage. I think it's really meaningful too, after the histories of some provinces are explained to us during this lesson.
Class ended on a normal note today, and Eliza and I decided to go for a jog. Turns out a bunch of people were going too, so we followed. I jogged for a good ten minutes (roughly?) before I ran out of breathe. I have horrible stamina, especially after not running for long, yikes.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the jog, since we ran somewhere surrounded by foliage and cat tails (and quite a lot of rabbit poo everywhere) and the air was astoundingly fresh. Had to make a pitstop on the way back since Brenda needed the nearest loo. Ended up near some motel/restaurant place that sold snake meat.
The walk back from the area to our dorm (we gave up on running) was peaceful too, and the weather was good. According to weather forecasts, today was the last day of summer, and the sun wasn't too glaring nor too hot.
Went out for dinner at 柠蒙乐with Mr. Chia and some of the trip mates in my messy sports clothes. Ate at a separate table with Brenda, Liangxun and Houngsheng, since there weren't enough space everywhere else.
Personal Reflection
It's really rare to find somewhere relatively unpolluted in Wuhan, and maybe even harder to find food that's close to home. Probably why Mr. Chia likes that 柠蒙乐 restaurant so much! The food there isn't bad and is probably about as close to home food as we can get. Too bad there's not much chicken on the menu though; I like chicken. ):
Makes me wonder how the health of the elderly here are, since the overly oily and salty food probably didn't do much for their health.
