Day 30 in Chengdu - Biking and video making for OIE!!

The day started off with me lazing around in bed before finally pulling myself out of bed and heading out to the shopping district for lunch with the guys. JJ and I decided that we wanted to ride a motorbike, but WeiJie and Kidman did not want to join us as WeiJie wanted to do his own stuff and Kidman was still doing his research paper. The rental for the motorbike was very cheap, at only 5 yuan per hour, we would be idiots to pass up on such a good deal. Initially I had some trouble riding the bike as I did not have experience riding a bicycle at all, and thus I could not maintain my balance, but after a while I managed to get the hang of it and off we went! After a while, Kexin and Raudhah also joined us  we we headed over to the lake to take some beautiful pictures. Then, we rode around some more before Raudhah and Kexin had to leave. BUT the Felicia, Hanis, Zakiah and Thet joined us and we went around the campus again! Feeling the wind blowing against ur face as you ride the bike has got to be the BEST feeling every! However, here come the bad part. My bike had a slight fault, where the brake had a little problem. Thus when I wanted to slow down and turn, my bike skidded and I sustained some cuts and abrasions to my elbow and knee. That made me learn my lesson, take everything slowly and not rush into stuff. After the riding session ended we headed for dinner, before meeting with my OIE group to plan and do up the video and slides. Well, this is the end of my posts about life in Chengdu. It has really made me learn more about the China culture, as well as make more friends from the university. Never regretted coming for this trip. Good bye and good night
