Day 13 - HanKou Here We Come

HanKou
This is HanKou's main entrance where the bus let us alight.



5-Seater Bicycle
This is a very cute bicycle design I have ever seen. 4 People can paddle at the same time, with an extra passenger right at the front. However, we did not have enough time to rent a bicycle as we had to move on.


Longest Kite Ever!
When I saw the kite store owner releasing a box of kites, I thought it would only be 10 at most. However, it stretches to be a hundred. It is a good method for attracting customers who are curious!


Fire Hydrant
On the way to the shopping mall, I collided with a green fire hydrant. Its colour is different from Singapore's as Singapore's is red, and China's is green.


China Citic Bank
This is the seventh-largest lender in terms of total assets, and is formerly known as an industrial bank. If you were to ask me, I would rather keep my money in a safe than in a China Bank. It is too risky as there were previous cases of China banks closing down and running away with their customer's money.


Creative Shop Names
These are the several shop names I have taken which amuses me!


Staff Training
Walking around the different buildings to have lunch, I came by a Korean restaurant training their staffs. They are noting down things that were said by the manager, and that they have to remember what's on the menu.


Teppanyaki
I have not had Teppanyaki for ages! The last time was 8 years ago, but the shop has already closed down in Singapore. I love this restaurant style because the chef prepares food skillfully before your very eyes. At the same time, you can even learn how to cook!


Professional Chef
Fish and chicken. My dish was the first to be cooked. The chef lay a slab of chicken meat on the stove and walked off to the kitchen and never came back until a few minutes later. During that time I was wondering, "Oh my god, is he going to leave my chicken there till it gets charred?" But no! Leave the cooking to the professional. In the end my dish came out tender, juicy, and tasty!


Lotus Seeds
It is important to cleanse the body system after a meal! I do come by people eating this weird-looking green plant, but had no idea what it was. It turned out to be lotus seeds and it tastes really sweet. It is said to "clear heat" and be particularly nutritious and restorative to one's health.

REFLECTIONS

In order to be successful, one has to be different from the rest. It's just like the elderly man who released a long string of kites, that is something most people have never seen before, and will want to check it out. That is the reason why his kite shop has the most business, and he is the likely one to be successful.

There are many types of banks in China, such as agricultural, industrial, commercial etc.. banks. This is a good method as there are many farmers, who needs to deposit and withdraw money for agricultural purposes. China also has plentiful of factories and industries and requires funding for their activities. Overall, this method of transaction is more precised and there will be less complications.


Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
