Chengdu trip Memories

It’s has been 1 year since the chengdu trip last year. Thinking of it brings back memories, 6 of us( jiahui,fongyee,henry,yilong,hwaswee and me) flew on 11 april in the morning after a surprise birthday celebration from my class at the airport. After a 4 hour plus flight, we arrived in chengdu at 3.30pm, the first thing we did was to call back to singapore (haha testing the phone connection), actually is report to parents:)

We were calling back while waiting to clear the custom, one by one we passed the custom to the arrival area where our company staff is waiting. I remembered outside the airport, the difference in air quality is obvious and there’s no blue sky with clouds but the temperature is cooling.

We loaded our luggage into the van and travelled for about 45 minutes to reach our home for the next 4 months-紫荆名苑 at 紫荆西路.(“zi jing” street).

There was no lift and we had to carry our heavy luggage up to 6 storey where we lived. After settling down, we went out to the nearby Carrefour to buy 日常用品. Went back home to tidy up the place as the home was in a mess. Around evening time, i remembered i went back to Carrefour with Hwa Swee to buy big bottles of mineral water back along with sichuan flavour cup noodles and roast chicken and bread for our dinner.

It was a memorable dinner for us to adjust, with the cup noodles tasting “special”. The other food like the bread and roasted chicken taste “singaporean”.

I think we ate in the living room in front of the TV that has 40+ channels. There was no internet access and the TV was our best friend haha.

The night was cold and we had to wear jacket even though we are inside the house. That day we slept quite early due to the long flight.

Next morning, we met our company staff at 8am, who showed us the way to travel to our office. And off we went, boarding the public bus (bus fare is RMB 1 = 20 cents in singapore) to our office to begin our attachment for the next 4 months and the rest is history…
