we had a wake up call at 7, breakfast at 7.30 and boarded the bus at 8. we loved the buns that morning. the porridge was tasteless but the mee suah was full of awesomeness. again, we had our very own muslim table.
i realised every city that we go to they LOVE to have a mini great wall. but we NEVER will make it to the real one. sad. the chinese studies students are alr there. lucky buggers.
then we visited a mini yellow crane tower. boring.
the city's taxi. so cute.
this is very normal here.
we reached lushang mountain around 9.30
check it out! dr zhu and his sneakers trekking. so fit!
base of the mountain
it says tea
its a game. super cool.
they'll put in tennis balls in these and itll shoot out the balls and the aim is to hit the balls. the thing is, there's no prizes or whatever. just for the thrill of it
name keychains. kang qi got one for her grandma
the water's really crystal clear
SAFE
you have like 5 seconds to get 2 people into the cable caroh and we had to pay 62 yuan for a two way ride
guess who's my cable car partner
yeap. siao ah lian.she kept reassuring me everything will be alright
amanda and kang qi in front of us
li hong and hu kun behind us
some famous poet forgot his name.
STEEP STEEP! and the wind was super strong. kept swaying our cable car.
forever love. i love to see old couples on holiday. haha.
our intern tour guide. ram has been trying to get to talk to her. but he's such a wuss. finally i gave him an opputunity. haha
we visited the inverted temple. haha not really.
WE HAD TO CLIMB SO MANY SMALL STAIRSnever considered people with big shoes like mine. i had to go up sideways. pfft.
its 9 metres tall and it was built in 1999, Jan 18
the monk would hit that pot thing everytime a person enters the space
the number of jos sticks are the number of tourists who've been there over the years
im on top of the world. haha i wish.my jacket has been through war with me these weeks :)
what only ram. his hair like ah beng. that's china haircut for you
these three kept asking me to take a photo every like 5 metres on the way back down
we reached the peak, finally! :D
old temple
box for donation to rebuilt the temple. kang qi said there's like no notes inside. only coins. and very few, she said angrily.
public toilet. so natural.
there were so many of these around. we concluded its where the workers working there lived.
we finally reached the water source after a long trek from the peak
little boy brought something home for remembrance. prolly going to throw it away when he reaches base.
women were knitting. they should have a kntting club up in the mountains since i saw so many women doing so aroundoh and
going back down. shakkir and jonathan were behind us. made so many noises and shakkir said hello practically to every cable car that passed by them. but only to pretty ladies in them. those with old ladies he kept quiet. pfft
blow wind blow
lunch delivery! hahawhen we reached base we were really wanting the toilet. and this was what we were forced to be in.
sink
cubicleswe took turns guarding the entrance. amanda was unlucky cos an old lady walked in and i couldn't stop the poor old lady. so yeah i warned her not to look at her when she walks out. haha! there were like shit piles in that drain and god knows what else. an experience worth missing i would say.
we had lunch soon after, nearby. we had our muslim table again and we had vegetables, tofu, fish and soup. the chicken soup none of us touched cos they practically put the whole chicken in the broth and i mean WHOLE chicken cos they din bother to chop off the head. i look at chicken soup in a whole new way now. the other two chinese tables ahd wierd food apparently. one of them was frog meat, with hands and legs still attached i might add. some of them didnt know it was frog meat and ate the dish and said it tasted like chicken. ew. i told them. it pays to be halal. haha! kidding.
so we had like 7 hours bus ride back to wuhan city. we all slept throughout. i didnt bother getting off the bus for toilet pitstops after the bad experience with the previous one.
we reached our dorms around 6. we were so glad to be back in our dorms we had ban mian for dinner. after dinner we did laundry and we had to extend like 3 more raffia strings to accommodate for the laundry. so unglam i know.
spot fatpants and amanda. haha. amanda enjoys pinching fatpant's butt.
my fatpants and kit's fatfat. haha :)
its less cold today.
ps. 7 DAYS TILL WE RETURN!!! YAYNESS!!!
