We arrived on Wednesday (11-Feb) night, and on Thursday, we managed to settle things like:
(a) Local Bank Account in Bank of China, with an ATM card
(b) Buy a local phone card (beware of buying from roadside stall, can be CONNED! Better to buy the phone card from a well-established shop, the bigger the shop, the better!)
(c) Buy Transport Card (aka Ez-Link card)
(d) Buy a Meal Card (to be used in all canteen in the campus of Wuhan University of Science/Technology aka WUST)
We are quite impressed by the fact that
(a) the bank open 7 days a week
(b) China is moving towards a cashless society, using card in replacement of cash for transport, meals!
Today (14-Feb), Mr Wong brought us to the Shopping Street. It was approximately 40 minutes bus ride there from WUST. The journey there was alright, but the journey back was a bit bad. It was so packed and crowded, bodies were rubbing against each other on the bus. So uncomfortable! But that was what we should expect in 6 million populated city in the urban area, people everywhere!

Really thankful to Mr Wong for being so helpful and patience.

Thanks, Choon Boo. I tried to write as much as possible for the benefit of those who are scheduled to come to Wuhan, so they can be better prepared!
