13th Day in Wuhan

Woke up, had lunch and went to the 华师一 high school to give another presentation. We've been told that they already learn most of the things we presented and wishes to know something more deep and ask us to be more professional in giving presentation. Well, we did what they've told and they are still so quiet...Several questions took me by surprised like you can have suspended wind turbine which can float in the air to harvest maximum wind energy, and also using noise to produce energy. Possible but might have more drawbacks. We didn't really give them an answer whether it is workable or not since with the current technology, we would not be able to do that. But i guess that ain't really the answer they are looking for. The presentation ended awkward and the feedbacks that they gave is somewhat ...not so nice... They wish we can be more professional in presenting and includes more interaction with them. We did and yet they just sit there quietly looking at each other. What more can they expect us to do? And with the suspended wind turbine, its workable but not feasible yet his comments were like wanting us to agree to his idea. Well, we can't say it wont work definitely but this is based on prototypes and research, and we just not those people who do it. Being the best student doesn't mean everything you say must be right. Another comment which took me completely out of my mind is that we present something that could help them score in their exam. I guess they don't understand what we are doing here. We are trying to create awareness, not to help them score exams..Well, one more pain-staking lesson and i won't be seeing them.

Went to the Helen's Bar with the other EPs, had a good night there and its my second time been to a bar. It was nice to know so much about Saken and Kazakhstan, and i might even go visit Kazakhstan if i got the chance. He was in the military faculty and it was cool. He really is a nice guy but i won't be seeing him anymore after tomorrow. Sad, but i guess that's what the exchange is all about. You get to know them and you can try visit them some other times...
