We got up really early again, it seems to be falling into a pattern. Went on a coach with ECE to Wugang, its Wuhan Steel Making Company.

When the bus went into the company’s property, I was awed, the size of the place was somewhat like sentosa’s area, and it was really cool. When we saw the furnace, it was as if watching a movie scene come alive! We were quite a distance from the furnace, perhaps 90m, but the heat was intense and strong. No photos were allowed in the entire steel mill, so I couldn’t show you what I saw. The steel thinning factory was cool and vast. A 12mm steel sheet is being processed into a 5mm one, the process is long and involves many equipment, machines and manpower. Interesting.
At the end, there was a monument of the mill’s first roll of steel sheet, thus we were finally allowed to take photos of it.

Went back to the university, and had lunch at this halal inn, Amirah and Fizah brought us there, the ECE students went as well, it was really fun going in such a big group. I had noodles again, it just so happens noodles are yummier than rice in Wuhan!

Went window shopping after lunch along the same street. After which, we went back to the hostel. Didn’t step out after that, had cup noodles in dorm.
Today’s schedule was quite short, which gave us the rest of the afternoon time to take naps and do our work.
