Day 2: Breakfast at JiaYi Hotel
Breakfast (buffet style) was provided free of charge at the hotel daily from 0730 to 0900
hrs.
The breakfast consisted of whiteporridge, 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 thetaste 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) tobuy bottled drinks and fresh fruits.

Mmmm … which brand of
bottled mineral watershould we buy? It is so hard
to decide. At home it is
always mummy whodecides what is best for me.

Waiting at the assembly point after our little shopping trip. Notice that some girls could
not resist the temptation of McDonald’s ice cream.
Look at what some us brought at the
supermarket. By the way, the instant noodlecups were for emergency use … in case we
were hungry in the middle of the night.
