The breakfast consisted of white porridge, fried noodle, some salted vegetables dishes, hard boiled eggs, you tiao etc. As with everything that was free, it was quite bland and nothing to shout about. Most of us were not use to the taste of the food and were not able to finish most of our portion. After breakfast, Mr Lau and Mdm Huang brought us to a nearby supermarket (5 mins walk from hotel) to buy bottled drinks and fresh fruits.

not resist the temptation of McDonald’s ice cream.

Look at what some us brought at the
