assignment 1
==========
1. I want to see studying as a foreign student, how would china people treat a foreigner? I also want to learn about the delicacies of Wuhan. People lives, one should have enjoy life, having good food. Basically, i have heard nothing about Wuhan from anyone. My family members don’t even know this exist. However, i did some research. I know that Wuhan is the capital of Hubei. Wuhan does also have a lot of University. They are good in dealing with science and technology related things. So, as for my course, aerospace electronics, i might learn something from them. I hope so.

What motivates me to study? The only thing is my parents’ trust. They allow me to go overseas and study. They also come out with a huge sum of money just for me to study. Therefore, i must not let them down and study hard. If i don’t the huge sum of money would just be wasted. Anyway, it’s a good chance to see how others in other place study too. I still have companions.

One will grow up sooner or later. I can understand their culture and language or even how they work with people. Next time, i will be able to work with people too. Different country have different environment too, so having travel outside your own country will let you adapt to another environment.


2. I am interested in the food that is in China. I love delicacies. Therefore, wanting to try out their food. Are they stressed by living in china? What’s the working hour?

3. How different is Wuhan and Singapore?
Basically, Wuhan in some parts has grown their own agriculture. So they will have more varieties of food. With them having their own agriculture, the price of the food will be cheaper compare to Singapore. Wuhan has 4 seasons, summer, spring, autumn and winter but Singapore will have only hot weather.

How safe can Wuhan be?
Wuhan can be considered as quite safe. The only thing which is unsafe is our belonging. From what we know from the teachers, they like to scam money by using counterfeit money. And also, China people like to pickpocket other people stuff. Therefore, in China, we must be careful of our own belonging.



Can we survive on our own independently overseas?
I think we can survive on our own. However, what we need is cash, to have our stomach filled. We will be staying in the hostel. So, if there are hostel in the University, probably student will also stay there. If other students can survive on their own, we can do it too. That’s the life of the university student anyway.
Is a hostel different from a hotel?
From what i think, they are almost similar. They had almost the same items the hotel has, just that, hostel is for student and hostel does not have room service too.
Will it make a difference if we were studying in NP or Wuhan University?
From my thinking, i don’t think that studying anywhere is a problem. It’s the heart you willing to put in to it. If you really want to study, you can study anywhere.
4. Firstly, I will like to improve my skill on Willingness to Take Risk. Why is that? Sometime, we do things; there are things which cannot be done if you dare not to do it. If you dare not, meaning that the certain things you want to do is having certain risk. Sometime we risk making something better.
Secondly, I also like to improve the skill on Comfort Level with Strangers. Everyday, we will meet different types of people who are totally stranger to us. If we need to have something from them or even want them to help, we need to the politeness as not to be afraid they might eat us up.
Lastly, the skill is Tolerance for discomfort. During social life, when people make fun of you, the way is to tolerate and endure. If not once you burst into anger, you might end up in fights or even become enemy.
5. Actions speak louder than words. Basically, i will try to interact with the local people over there. We are foreigner over there, so how will the local treat the foreigner? We could also gather information about Wuhan too.
