Day 13 in Wuhan
2nd Day of City Tour around Wuhan.
Today's trip was enjoyable as it was not cramped up as compared to yesterday, however JunRu gave this trip a missed as she was not feeling well.
Firstly, we headed to some park along the YangTze River. We enjoyed the scenic view, and the breeze blowing on our faces. Many people were flying kites along the strong wind, while money rolls in for the shopkeepers whom are selling the kites. The kites were so beautiful, and there were many designs! How i wish i could get one of the kite and fly it! But i know given the time frame, i have only 10 mins to fly the kite, therefore i gave it a missed.
We were then given time to do shopping at 江汉路, however we spend most of the time exploring the place. I guess i am gonna to leave my shopping time at the last few weeks for this trip :D
Headed back to the Hostel which took about 2 hours or so, and i manage to catch some sleep :)
Situation-When we was back to the Hostel, AnYu and i realised JunRu was running a fever at a temperature of 39.7 degree despite the treatment she had this morning at the school's hospital. Therefore, we immediately contacted our lecturer and brought her to the nearby hospital/clinic. It was definitely scary to even step into a Hospital by seeing the building. The building was rather old, and cleanliness wasn't up to the standard at all. ChinKuan & I spent our night time in the hospital with JunRu while she was on drip till she was done with it. Hope she gets well soon...
Quote of the day- Practice makes perfect. -G. Crabbe
Reflection-From my observations, i realised China's medical treatment does not comes in medicine based. It comes in drip, regardless how serious your condition is. Once you consult a doctor, the doctor would put u on drip instead of giving you pills or syrup.
By dripping, it would made a person recover once the drip finishes as it flows directly into the blood stream, but doesn't it hurts everytime when the needles have to be injected into the vains? Also, alot of time is wasted when patients have to spend hours sitting on the seats dripping. I'm so glad that Singapore medical treatment aren't in this way. Now i'm starting to appreciate how advance medical is in Singapore...
