12th day - 19/03/11

Day 12. It is Saturday today. We planned to go Beijing initially but because we worried of the time constraint, we decided to go 洋货市场 (yang huo shi chang) to have a look. So we took a bus to the main train station which I forgot what the name is, and we took the train all the way to Tang Gu. What I find this cute about the train ticket is that it is a chip kind and every station have different colours. When we reach there we are advice not to buy anything from the street stall because all the owners are ganged up and they might do things like murder and robbing. As we can see that they are not locals also. We then went around to shop but to all of us, that place doesn’t suits us as the things sell over there is like example torch lights, swiss knife and all kinds of knifes and etc. That why we all decided to go back to the hotel while some want to go滨江道 (bin jiang dao) to exchange something.
Yesterday night we already decided to go KTV to have some fun. So we went to the KTV which is like 3 or 2 bus stops away from our hotel. We had a lot of fun over there and it is very cheap over here. We had already decided to go again with Mr Tan and Mr Chua. After the KTV, we had our row call in the lobby to summaries what we learnt or experience through the day. So, what everyone knows is that one of our friends lost his wallet in the day, and what we had learnt is that we need to really keep a lookout for our belongings because another friend was almost pick pocketed when boarding the bus but lucky he managed to find out. This is what we need to be careful about. Also another matter is that one of our friends almost gets molested on the bus by some uncle who is sitting behind her. He was stretching his hand over the the front to try to touch her. Lucky she manages to realize fast and turn back to talk to the friend behind and that uncle just move off. So again, we must know how to protect ourselves and keep ourselves safe in a place when we are not familiar with. With this, I shall end my post here. :D
