Day3 shuliang

Different in the way bank and a pawn shop works, and the way they are between Singapore.

Today was one of the more fruitful and enjoyable trip so far in Taiwan. I have learnt many new knowledge and stuffs during the visits to various organization, the ones that really interest me most is the Pawn shop and bank visit in the morning. The guides there were really interesting and try to engage and answer our question to the fullest although its most probably their first time doing such a tour. I have learnt how a bank actually works, how is earn and loses money, what the various service they provide, and the requirement needed to get in. At the same time, it also allow me to compare with Singapore the difference in the bank structure, although most are the same, the requirement to get a job in a bank is actually different from Singapore and Taiwan.
The pawn shop was also an interesting highlight, as an 16 year old, my perspective of a pawn shop was always as a secretive place that adults do not like to go, and its actually inauspicious to go to a pawn shop. After today's trip, I've learn what service the pawn shop actually provide and how they actually operate and earn money. It seems like for a pawn shop owner, its not an easy job to do and there are many risks to take, but it helps you to be street smart and able to deal with and work with random people.
overall, i think that today's trip was an experiential with a good mix of fun and learning, i had a totally wrong perception of the bank visit and it actually to be better than expected.
