we woke up at 5.30 since we had to get on the bus at 7. logged into npal at 6.30 and the results were already out. earlier than the stated 9am. i did ok i guess. though expected better. maintained my gpa. its all that matters. we had a 7 hour bus ride which pretty much consisted of sleeping and a few pit stops.
we crossed part of the great wall

hahaha no. kidding. we went to a fort which was once used for warfare
there were kids there. from childcare i suppose
the guys had trouble getting up this. haha. so not man.
we had toilet break and yeah. this was their toilet. awesome.
spells adorable
they think direct translation is cool
so then we went for lunch which was part of the whole package so we didn't have to pay for it. after lunch, the guys decided to pay mahjong cos there was a table in our dining room.

went to a local museum which was about their king and methods on how they bury the dead
they had a showcase of the body of their king inside and omg. it was still in flesh and they showcased his guts and intestines and all. even his brain. all was well preserved such that everything is still intact except for the skin. i had a picture of it but it was to gross to keep. they bury the body like 10 feet deep into the ground and preserve the body with alkaline solution.
their letter back then. this was about the desription about the deceased.
shakkir forced me to take a photo of him and our tour guide. like proof to the guys he was man enough. whatever.we went for dinner and it wasn't nice at all. because of it. I HATE RICE. for now. i miss my mother's rice D:
we reached the dock at around 6.30 and was about to board the boat, that's named The Golden Sun, WHEN:- some govt officials in uniform and some workers from the boat company were blocking the dock to prevent us and other Beijing tourists from boarding the boat.
- its because they wanted tips and interest. so they blocked everyone from going up the boat and so we had to wait in the drizzle with our bags on the ground. so pathetic.
- it got too pathetic till the guys and agnes started playing taiti right there and then just to let time pass. the police came and tried to break up the childishness that was going on.
- with both parties still airheaded and wanting to save face, we still couldn't go up he boat at 7.30 so in the end our tour guide asked us to wait in the coach till they settled their problems.
- our coach apparently parked in front of the govt building which was across the dock and kit said "they block us, now's our turn to block them". HILARIOUS. but later we were chased away and we parked near the dock in the end.
- we waited and slept and finally the police got them to the polices station and we could board the boat. like FINALLY! we were all so hungry.
we had to wait by the dock and out boat couldn't move cos of the heavy fog.my roommates and i were so hungry we ate the cup noodles we brought for the trip. and guess what. ALL OF US HAD DIARRHOEA the next day. how lucky is that. i puked the whole night and refused to go down for breakfast. the thought of food alr made me sick in the stomach. the sight of rice itself was such a turnoff. bad bad night i tell you. missed home really badly that night.
