Chengdu, Day 26

 
Buckets of Dico's for dinner
 
 
The common test has just ended and this is the first outing and was planned out by ourselves to unwind and also to celebrate the birthday of one of the participant of the trip. Although not very far, the trip was sufficient to recharge our batteries and keep our spirits up for the rest of the trip. We started the trip with a trip around the supermarket to, unusually; buy local snacks that could also be bought in Singapore.
However, the highlight for the short trip for me would definitely be the lunch at Dico’s where I finally had a chance to sample food that I am more used to. Although the Muslim stall in campus provides good food, nothing beats the taste of deep fried foods. That moment was definitely one that I was anticipating since my first taste of Dico’s back in Jiuzhaigou.
The day ended with a coffee break at, what we call, the ‘atas’ place, which could also be referred to a high end coffee shop. The long chat and jokes really allows us to get to know one another more intimately and clear any doubts that we have regarding one another. It also helps to relieve the stress from the common test that we just had. All in all, it was a good day.
