Day 39: 2 more days!

Today is the last Saturday for us in Wuhan. There aren't much things for us to do now except shopping and spending money. I have used up all my money I brought to Wuhan and I have also borrowed 400 yuan from Mr Wee as he is doing a mass drawing from the ATM Machine today. 

We went to Si Men Kou again today. Initially we planned to take a bus down, however, as everyone got their money from Mr Wee, they wanted to take a cab instead. Same thing, we went there for lunch before going off to buy our things. I do not have much things to buy from there already as I have mostly bought all the gifts for people. 

We splited when we were at SMK. After that, we meet up at 3pm before heading to Han Kou. This itinerary seems very familiar to the trip on Thursday. It is very difficult to get a cab at SMK especially when it is raining as well. The cabs here are differentiated by odd numbers day and even numbers day car. Meaning that an odd number day cab will only be allowed to cross the bridge to go to Han Kou. Similarly for even numbers days car. After 15min or so, we managed to get our first cab. It was raining quite heavily then and all of us didnt bring jacket or umbrella as it wasn't raining the past few days.

At Han Kou, we first went to eat the egg tarts and foods. Today I saw a shop that sells chopsticks. I decided to buy a few sets as gifts in case I missed out any. It carries the Beijing Olympics 2008 logo. Quite a good suvenior, in my opinion. We splited again and walk our own, we plan to meet at 7pm before going for dinner. However, after we met and are walking to take transport back, the girls went into a shop and got stuck inside it. Nevermind that, they even influence us to go in and we also ended up with things. I bought a shirt for myself. It was having a 50% discount then. 

Initially we wanted to take a bus to Carrefour or Chicony where we will have our dinner there. But after everyone settled their stuffs, it was already quite late and there aren't any bus service around. The bus service ends at 8:30pm. Thus, we have our dinner at a fastfood restaurant at Han Kou before we take a cab back. The girls haven't shop enough after dinner. They still went back to do more shopping and we waited until 10 plus before we can leave that area. 

Two more days and I am going back!
