Today is the last day we are going to Chengdu to shop, and also the last day we are staying in Chengdu. The place we went today is like a street of shops selling cheap goods. This is really awesome, they should have brought us here long ago. The items here are really cheap and in good quality. We are given about 5 hours to shop around this area. I thought 5 hours is more than enough but it is not! Because we left out some street and do not have enough time to walk there. For our lunch, we had glutinous balls and also fried pancake with eggs and hams along the street stalls.
I was told that street stalls food are actually very unhygienic but they look so appetizing and delicious. I still, always buy snacks from those street stalls. After having a quick bite, we resume our shopping schedule. We are so lucky that we followed Miss Ling because she brought us to a shopping mall which sells all the females stuffs which is similar to our Bugis Street. Female’s shopping heaven. Remember we went to Chengdu city to shop last week? We are just one railway station away from there. Some of the students took train there to shop and managed to get back in time. I should have joined them because I didn’t take train before and I really want to experience it. I only realize they went there when everybody gathered to go home. Maybe I will try it the next time when I come to China for vacation.
Today is the first and last dinner we had with the principals and director of Sichuan Aerospace Polytechnic, a huge one. We decided to give Miss Lin a surprise and a token of appreciation to during this dinner. We really touched her that she even tears. When I saw her tearing, I can’t control myself too. Our group shared to buy her a dress where we secretly bought it in the morning during the shopping.
After the dinner together, we set off to put fireworks! Tonight is really an awesome night with the accompanied of beautiful fireworks. This is the first time I put fireworks and also the first time standing so near, watching each and every fireworks setting up into the sky before exploding into little raining sparkles. If Singapore allows us to put fireworks, I probably will put it on all the important occasion provided I have money.
