3.03 Smoked

Today is an exciting day as there will be alot of activities going on throughout the day. Especially in the evening when we'll be having BBQ with the locals in the National Village where we had out Outbound activities there.

After I had my PM lesson, got feedbacks from teacher for our assignments, I went back and prepare to go 家乐福 "Carrefour" to buy ingredients for tonight's BBQ!

It was my first time boarding a bus in China. Actually it was quite fast and we took about 30mins to the shopping centre. The bus fare system is very different from Singapore. When you board the bus, there'll be a attendant inside walking (maybe squeezing in that situation), holding a plate of prices' ticket, collecting from everyone in the bus. I thought they had some coin/note system where the bus driver operates it, like the one in Singapore.

Anyway, we went to shop around and get the ingredients we wanted. Then yj and me went to the electronics/books department to get something while the rest took back the bbq ingredients first. I went back to get the earpiece that ct and zw wants. Upon meeting with the shopkeepers, interestingly is that they still remember my face and they gave me further discount and provides me with good customer service.

We didn't managed to catch the night lights of "Lu Xiang". It was about 6+ and we went back to BBQ!

Here we are! 3-4 mini bbq pits with about 40-50+ ppl around the vast area.

The fire went off at 9+pm where the leftovers are distributed to the people who wants it, especially the 4-5 big round watermelons. The rest of the vegetables are then given to the opposite "Midnight Food Street" shops. Meanwhile, we had supper there and catch up more with the others.

Reflections of the day:
Main issue of the day would be in the electronics department at the shopping center. I'd noticed that the shopkeepers in Wuhan are very friendly and warm-hearted. They offer good customer service to customer, especially a few days ago, when the HDD "硬盘" we bought had run out of stock and they provided us with delivery. The shopkeeper personally came down to WUST and passed us the HDD. I felt that they're really at the upper hands of doing business when they're really towards customer-oriented, not grumbling if inconvenience crops up, but making sure that their customers, us, are satisfy with their service. And the best part is that we only paid for the product itself. Provided that they didn't know that the HDD are out of stock and upon know that, they initiated a delivery without hesitation. This is something I admire about their shopkeepers.
