17/03/09 (Day 15)
Basically, today we visited the WuHan Steel Mill [武汉钢铁企业]. In short form, it's called 武钢. We were brought around to see how steels were manufactured through completion of the various processes. This is the first time I have seen those processes! So COOL~ It was really an eye opening experience for me. When I first entered the factory, I could not get use to the loud noise level. It was very noisy inside and I wondered how the workers can endure with it! I guessed if you work in there for a period of time, you will have hearing problems and because of the high temperature too, you might feel stressed up easily.

On the bus, on the way to Wu Gang! It was early in the morning like around 8am++.

Winson was being helpful by helping us to carry our helmets. But in this photo, he was only pretending to be. Ha ha.

Statues of deers?? They were found in the industries area.

The train is only used for internal transportation. This meant that it only travels within the industries compound.


BEWARE OF TRAIN!
exit from west gate 7 (:
We were forbidden from taking photos in the factory thus the photos uploaded are only on the external appearance of the factory.
I heard from Mr Wong saying that there are approximately 30,000 to 40,000 people [forgot whether is families or people] living within the factory compound. He also mentioned that the biggest steel mills in China are as follows: AnGang, HaoGang and WuGang. So WuGang is in the third place! Hmm, not bad~ (-:
After the industrial visit, we headed back to school's back alley for lunch! I had dumplings with noodles. It was yummy! Then BPE lessons were conducted at 1pm. Dinner was settled at the fake KFC with Ci Min and Fran. The rest went to Macdonalds.
Oh oh, anyway, my mum messaged me just a moment ago. She said she miss me very much. *SHY*... Ha ha. I miss her too! And also my family and friends.
I have to turn in soon because tomorrow we're having a presentation for BPE assignment 1. Hope everything turns out well! =) GOODNIGHT PEOPLE.
