Day THREE - 6 March 2013

 Today is Day3, the first day of our lesson for Forensic Science. We started the day with a lecture with Dr Sujit on the introduction of Forensic Science. The lecture was one and half hour that we went to explore the school canteen for a while before we ate lunch. After which we went back to the classrooms for tutorial. We watched Cold case, the Lost Soul of Herman. It was my first time watching Cold case that I take a little while for me to understand it at first. It was better after I watched the second time myself. Another different thing from Singapore that I found out is the classroom. They have computer screen on tables with two earphones. The individual computer screen can be connected to the teachers’ laptop where we can see clearly what is on the screen especially for those sitting at the back. Back to our hostel we found that the whole building do not have water supply. Lucky for me, I have showered in the morning. My friends were not that lucky that the whole day they could not shower at all. In the evening, my friends and I went out again for dinner. We went to try other street food. We tried the mutton skewer (羊肉串) that looks like our Singapore ‘Satay’. It was very fresh that the stall holders barbeque it only after we order. Although the cooking takes time, we do not mind waiting for the good food! The mutton was piping hot and soft.

We also tasted the fermented/smelt TouFu (臭豆腐). From the name, we know that it is smelly. We bought the toufu from a shop and tried it immediately. The toufu was crispy and delicious! The sauce is the one that gives the smell but it also gives the good taste. We had one toufu each and quickly went back hostel as we were told that we will be celebrating Dr Sujit’s birthday. The organizers bought two cakes for him and prepared a book for us to write birthday wishes for him. They along with Ms Mikia planned a surprise for him that the first cake is to smash at his face and the second one is for him to eat. We succeed in the surprise but we seem to forget that there is no water supply the whole day! Lucky for him, my roommates and I had saved a bucket of water for flushing toilet bowls and that he used the bucket of water to wash up! The day ended after cleaning up the mess from the surprise. J
