Day 39 - Packing Up Posted by SuperJuniorF , Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 9:22 PM, in

Today, most of my friends went out except me. I did not want to go out because I wanted to pack my things and start a little bit on my IS video. Two more days before we retun to Singapore. Definitely I will miss all the things I have done here and especially the locals students who have been generous with their hospitality. Although I have already adapted myself to Wuhan, sooner or later, I will eventually have to return home where my family members are.

So what I did for most of the time today was pack, pack and pack! Just look at how messy my place is! So what I did was that I unpacked everything to rearrange all my items such that most of my items can fit into one luggage. The rest of the remainding items were being placed into another small bag. As I was packing my things, I found all the tickets that was being used throughout the trip in Wuhan. Just by looking at those tickets brings back memories.

Reflection

As I was packing today, I realized that we Singaporeans are very fortunate to be Singaporeans. As I was packing, I looked at all the things that I bought in just 1 month. It was equivalent to what some of the China students bought throughout the year! I recalled what one of the Ngee Ann teachers who was teaching in Wuhan told me, "Although the food here might be very cheap to us, it is still quite expensive to the locals because their salary is not high." After hearing that, I finally figured out why so many foreign workers are willing to leave their country to do hard labour in Singapore. It is because earning money in Singapore is much more worthwhile than working in their own country.
