okay i'm back from my week-long trip in china(:
haha i felt it was quite fun in china!
day 1:singapore/shanghai/hangzhou
went to board midnight flight. met a aitong guy. YUCKS>.<>lame can? so after 5 long hours reached shanghai intl airport. was surprised when we realised that we were the only family! and the first thing when i came out of the airport i breathed out cold air. WOAH so cool luh! was shivering cause was underclothed. was told that the temperature had dropped drastically the day we came. so LUCKY alrightees:D then ate a nice dumpling for breakfast. soon went all the way to hangzhou.
checked into hotel, rested, then ate at the restaurant. was SUPER UBER cheap !! next went to a temple, where supposedly the white snake was held captive at. was quite boring. then went to some place called SONG CHENG. the weather was so cold that we had to get warmth by drinking soya milk. woah was darn blardy cold. then walked around, looking at some stuff. then later went to watch a performance on the song dynasty in hangzhou in that SONG CHENG. woot was so amzing and spectacular and extraordinary. especially the visual graphics and effects and it was like so real... it was beyond my imagination. as in real horses and rain from the ceilings and tunnel and many more luh!
so ate dinner and discovered that there were so many dishes! 13 dishes for 6 people. siao la(: then went back hotel and slept.
day 2: hangzhou
had hotel breakfastwhich sucked. in the morning took a cruise around the xihu. was not bad, and met some taiwanese people. haha then there was this elderly man who try saying like beijing yet pronounced it as BAI JIN. i thought was some sort of white gold. haha:D then strolled along the park. was quite relaxing. took a few maple leaves but all of them withered after a few days later:(
then ate lunch again which was very
feng fu . following that went to see a tea performance by a very pleasant looking girl called grace. was really pretty! and her performance was rather nice. when she said the tea could aid in improving the near-sighted i placed my face above it for so long that the others were laughing at me cos i didn't know they were all waiting for me:/s0 bought some tea leaves home and then went to xintiandi to walkwalkseesee. wanted to have haagen dazs but oh wells):
returned to hotel then headed to another branch of the HONG NI to have dinner. while waiting for the bus went to adidas. their summer wear was quite cheap.
okay shall stop here and continue another day
CONTINUED!
day3:
went to suzhou. bought oranges which was exceptionally sweet and juicy, unlike those in singapore(: then reached a restaurant and had lunch. so unexpectedly came these two chinese women who performed the pipa. didn't really understand their native language so was trying to hide myself from giggling. left and continued. soon came a local tour guide. quite talkative so didn't have quite a good impression of her initially. sightseed and through the journey wanted to take s hort nap but was jolted from her incessant talking. arrived at a temple soon. haish i am quite exhausted by all those temples, partly because i'm not a very devout Buddhist, and tripped to a few back then. the local guide also revealed that she had brought the stnicholas p5 girls for a foreign exchange program few years ago. seemingly was quite impressed with them. came as quite a surprise to me. but gradually had a better impression of her cos well, she was quite nice tho:Dso after the temple went to this MOTEL 168. hmmphs the guide kept transferring us from one room to another, so walked to and fro for about 3 times until we settled down.*hehe this keyboard is nice to type!(my cousin one's)*(:
at night invited the local touyr guide and the guide and the driver with us to eat and again a duo appeared to play the pipa
again. personally felt that their performance fared better than the previous one!:D and the local guide requested a chinese song, which was well, hmmphs, i don't know. and then we requested them for a English song, and it was eldeweiss.
haha their version of it was weird. but anyway good attempt!:D
took a boat trip down a very nice river/lake. didn't want to stay in the cabin cos it was reeking of fuel:/ so went up to the deck. was freezing cold and shivering but was a very good experience ! cos one would not get to experience this in singapore. woah was so damn cold that i took respite in the cabin to get enough warmth before heading up again. took quite a number of pictures as the scenery was so natural*unlike spore everything is manmade*and beautiful!
then back to the hotel.
day4:wuxi
was a short journey as compared to other cities. local tour guide appeared pleasant at first. but oh wells, looks can kill. read: later. had a so-called dragon feast which title was very unapt. then journeyed to the xihu and wentr to a linyuan, wich was named as the husband of xishi. haha:D:D:D:D hmmphs didn't think xishi was really that prettaye though. hawhaw): was told that one would most probably die if he jumped into the river and this remembered me of someone who was related to dumpling/tangyuan but i could not recall. if anyone has an inkling please tag! i'm still figuring after one week or so:/ view was quite mediocre and then went into our hotel, which was um... the worst of all.
`okay shall stop here and continue soon!:D:D
