Orange plucking & BBQ with china students
Day 15:
Today was a so called. interaction day with the China students here. The activities were plucking oranges and a BBQ in the night. Pretty relaxed day as the meeting was at 1.30pm allowing us to sleep in longer.
We headed over to the orange farm first to pluck oranges and explore a farm in Wuhan. Over here, plucking oranges and eating is free. You can eat as many as you want, it would still be free. However, if you want to bring back some, they would charge you for it. They charge you through the weight of the total amount of oranges you picked. The instrument used to measure the weight is a traditional weighing scale, those you would normally see in a medical shop that sell herbs.
After plucking oranges, we return to campus and headed over for BBQ, the BBQ style is a tad bit different from Singapore style. The difference here is we would sit around the fire we started and barbecue our food.
Upon reaching, i realised the colour of a orange when it is not ripe yet is green, however still edible, just a tad bit sour.
Well, partly because when I buy oranges at Singapore, it would already be fully ripe and it will be orange in colour.

Reflections:
Barbecueing here has a unique style different from Singapore, they even barbecue vegetables like cucumbers and mushrooms. We also have to sit around the fire we started to barbecue because the pit is designed in such a way. I feel this way is better as we can communicate and share thoughts with one another(friends) while barbecueing.
