♥ China tour....LoVe it!!
HEYHEY!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HOHOHOHOHO!!! WHEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm back! Okay...tell you the truth, I'm not that excited to come back actually. I'm kind of sad...
China tour -> 20/11/2004-26/11/2004
Day 1-> 19/11 - Singapore Changi Airport
Grand-uncle drove us to airport. Going China. Kind of excited, cause it's been 10 years since I took a plane. Waited...checked in...went through the security check thingy. I'm fine of cause. But Minghao wasn't. Haha!! He was SO dodo as to bring his whole big pencil box along just because he forgot to take it out from his bag, and there was this scissors in it. As you people know, scissors is made of metal. So when he passed through that gate, there was this sound which came out. In the end, his poor scissors went to jail. Confiscated! Haha!! I'll tell you the fate of this scissors in the end. Stepped into the plane. OMG. You call this a plane...it looks so cram and small and dodo. This plane cheated my feelings because my impression of a plane is not like this.
Day 2-> 20/11/2004 - Plane & Shanghai
Midnight. The plane took off. Excited.When the plane took off, there was this roller-coaster feeling. Yea...my heart got that disappearing feeling. Okay, I tell you people...never take that plane. It's some china airline plane. I just know BOSIDENG is written on the seat. The seat is so small and uncomfortable!! It was quite stuffy and hot. This made of cannot sleep well the whole night. Got headache. Slept for 1hr+ only. Hate that plane. The food also not very nice. I only like the fruits. No games no nothing. Just a big screen right in front( a bit blur also). No shows also. Plane landed. Shanghai airport quite big leh. But it seems quite plain.
Our guide(Xiao Yuan) picked us up. Oh yah, a guy from the company came with us too.(Jeremy)My mother kept saying Jeremin. Hoho. We went to our hotel first to rest cause still got 4 people haven arrived yet. Our bus coach is called Xiao Wang. Bai Le Men hotel. Quite small. Same room with Minghao. Ate breakfast. So salty. Slept. Later went to Nanjing road to shop. All winter wear. Nothing to shop for. 5+pm the night falls liao. Ate dinner. Food very salty also. Most of the food also not nice. So mostly is just eat rice. Ate 3 bowls. Went to sit on the Huangpu big boat. Tour around. A bit cold out there on the highest level. Quite crowded. The tour about 1hr. Meanwhile got 1 old lady sang and danced. So disgusting. Saw people married there. The so young groom quite old...confirm it's some cheating. hohoho. Wentback hotel. Minghao read S'pore true ghost story i brought. After that he don't dare to sleep. Haha. He went to Mingrui's room. Left me alone in the room. Of couse i go his rooom also lar. Haha. 5 people share 1 room. I slept with minghao. Poor mingrui got to squeeze with mingwei. Haha.
Day 3-> 21/11/2004 - Shanghai & Hangzhou
Forgot what happened in the morning liao. Then transfered to Hangzhou by coach. Not too long lar. Only about 2 hours. Reached Hangzhou. The di4 bei2 there is Xiao Zhang. Quite cute lar her. Among all the di bei I like her most. First we went to West Lake. The few of us ran up to the boat there. Coz running out of time le. The boat will leave at 2pm. So some of us must go to stop the boat. West Lake is REALLY VERY SHIOK!! The air is so perfect, the breeze is so perfect, the scenery is so perfect, everything is so perfect. The air is so cooling, so fresh. I was like WOW when i went up the boat. It's like I'm in some fairyland or something. Xiao Zhang told us some stories regarding West Lake also.
Next went to Yue Fei Tomb. She told us about the "You Tiao" story also. Next went to Tea House. Saw the terracing steps. Remind me of Geography. Hoho. The air there very fresh. Everyone living in that area are involved in Tea agriculture and most bear the same surname-"Mei". Tasted raw tea leaf. I couldn't believe i actually ate it, cause it's not washed. Full of grass taste,quite yucky. Went into a room, got 1 lady introduced us to Longjin Tea. We drank it. It tasted quite plain and not very nice. She say must slowly drink, drink more than the taste will come out. Quite true lar. Mum bought a set of A class Longjin Tea. Cost 690RMB. The time we leave the room sky already dark le. So fast. only 5+pm only. Ate dinner. Not very nice. Me and Mingrui only ate 2 dishes, and of couse, our main dish-rice.Ate 2 bowls. I stole his food he stored on his plate. So dodo. Came out, quite cold. Got smoke when I HAR!! So fun. Kept playing. Our hotel is at the 2nd biggest stadium in Hangzhou(or China). Jay Chou coming this stadium in December for his concert. His posters everywhere. Ate supper at Mcdonals'. Everything so cheap there. They also sell some stuff which S'pore doesn't. LIke hot chocolate, red/green bean pie/float...etc...
Day 4-> 22/11/2004 - Hangzhou & Wuzhen & Suzhou
We went Lingyin Si. Got the Ji Gong's cave. Got his hand print and his hat in it. All formed naturally, amazingly... Got his bed also. Xiao Zhang told us some stories. Everything is so amazing and fascinating. Got a few laughing buddha there. Xiao Zhang kept saying my ah gong looks like him. Hoho. Truely ar, my ah gong looks quite like him. Big ear loop, big belly...haha. My ah gong is the recarniation of the laughing buddha. Hohoho. Then we went to Lingyin Si. Got 500 luo han in it. The 500th is the Tang Shan Zhang.
Went Wuzhen by coach later. The di bei there is Xiao He. Upon arrival we sat on the small boat. Quite fun. First time sit on a zhou. All the wooden houses on stilts remind me of geog again. haha. Next we ate lunch. As usual, nothing to eat. Ate rice again. About 2-3 bowls. Tour around Wuzhen. Nothing much lar basically.
Then went Suzhou. Journey quite long also. Went to a place which displays teak(should be lar..duno what wood is that.) The display items all so amazing, all the carvings and embroidery...WOW. The thread is duno splited to how many thinner threads(should be 28 ba..)to form a fine embroidery of a cat. Bought some items there. Watch performance by Dream Suzhou. The aerobics is like WOW!! So amazing!! I watch liao mu deng kou dai. Went hotel.
Day 5-> 23/11/2004 - Suzhou & Wuxi
[Not in order]
Went silk factory. Minghao bought a scarf. So dodo.
Went Hanshan Si. Bong the big bell 3 times. It means to keep all troubles away. If you bong the 4th time you will be a monk there.haha. It is said that a senior monk bong the bell 108 times on the eve of new year. The 108th time is the beginning of a new year. Oh yah, and you know what? The toilet in Han Shan Si very special leh...It's like an irrigation canal. It's just one whole canal from the 1st cubicle to the last. You cannot flush it de. Couse it's auto, so the water flow from the 1st cubicle to the last. So if the cubicle infront of you got shit then you die liao. Hohoho.
Then we went Liu Yuan[Liu Garden]. Got a place inside display a house of a "xiao jie". 400 years liao. Very ancient. Saw a lady playing guzhen, then thought of nanxiao they all...so dodo.
Next went Hu Qiu. A nice place. There's a Pogoda on top of Hu Qiu. It is slanted about 3.5 degrees to the south? Amazing. It slants naturally. It got 7 levels. The top level is new de, it's not slanted. Cause the pogoda has gone through 7 times of burning. The top level is burnt by lightning and thus rebuilt.
Transfered to Wuxi by coach again. The di bei there is Xiao He. Then I think we went Tai Hu first. The freshwater lake, only about 1-2 meters deep. You go to the front of Taihu very nice. Opposite got an island is like a shape of a turtle surfacing the water.Then that time hor, one side the sun is setting, the other side the moon is rising.
Day 6-> 24/11/2004 - Wuxi & Nanjing
I think we went somewhere else. Forgot. haiyz...my stm is getting worse. After that we went to a pearl factory? Whatever lar. Bought pearl cream for pimples and freckles. I need that badly. Bought pearl necklace. Got alot of bargain when ah ma and yi ma ma buying pearl necklace. Got free pearl ear rings, braclets, rings. Haha. I remember we went to a Zi Sha Hu place. Don't know what to call that. I forogt when we went there le leh...and the location. arghhh...nvm. Transfered to Nanjing. The di bei there Xiao Xie. First destinnation is the Sun Zhong Shan mausoleum. You must climb 392 steps[if i'm not wrong] to get to the top to see his coffin. Ran up there. Took photos. The senery from the top is...WOW!!!!!!! SO beautiful SO nice!!!! The breeze also shiok ar! Saw Sun Zhong Shan's coffin. Made of jade i think. After that went down the steps. Getting darker le. Can't really see well when heading towards the bus. Kind of giddy also. Must be because of climbing the stairs, then the pressure or cause exercise suddenly. Haiyz. Mingrui worse ar, so dodo raced up the staris with minhao and that idiot. So when he climbed down the stairs he almost vomited. Then we went Fu Zi Miao to shop. Bought a sling bag. 100% kana cheated by that 2 women. 1 stupid bag cost 120RMB. Doesn't allow us to cut the price further. Stupid lar idiots! Still want 2 sing dollars from us. stupid. HUMPH!! Then bought a belt for 15RMB. After shopping go back to hotel le.
