I'm back from CHINA! china china(:

Hey! I'm back (: China itself, was so-so, but overall, the trip was great! yeah, this is due to the people over there. They made the whole trip SUPER FUN! Though, there isnt much teenagers in my group, only 2 including me, but the 5 children, plus the adults made the whole trip really lively(: And together with the local guide's nonsense, this trip is the BEST in my whole entire life. ok, this post is gonna be LONG, so forget it if you don't wanna read. Pictures will be up in a few days time, i'm just too lazy to upload.

Ok, China. I made myself so malu on the first day. Its my fault anw. I'm just too lazy to read the itinerary, cos going to China sounds kinda boring. *But now i know that i'm so wrong. (: * So yarh, i just followed, without really knowing where i'm going to. So when we reached Shanghai, Pudong airport, the officer asked me, in chinese, how long will i be staying in Shanghai, then i answered "Shanghai? Here not Beijing meh? " God, i made a big hoohah! As for what happened after that, you shall imagine yourself (: haha. Basically,i just told him, that i think i'm staying for 8 days and he asked my parents to come forward. And then my parents told him that we're heading for Suzhou straight away, and we will only come back to Shanghai after a few days. The officer 'smiled' and let me through. Oh man, damn malu larh! We're not even staying in Shanghai and i told the officer that i'm staying for 8 days. hmph...

Alright, we then headed to Suzhou, by some train that travels at 400 +++ km/h (: cool! After that it was dinner time. The food for that 8 days trip, was crap! It sucks. TOTALLY.(: But the restaurant was really cool though. The waiters travel about using blades. Will post the picture. And theres this really huge prata over there too! i don't think they call it prata. I took a picture of it too(:

And blah blah blah, all the nonsense sight seeing the following day. Reached Wuxi at night. And again, all those sight seeing,again, the next morning. Went on to WuZhen that very night. The dinner at WuZhen was the WORST! The restaurant was so run down and there were insects in the food ?! Gosh. But the ladyboss was really nice(: she added like dunno how many extra dishes to apologise. Went on to the hotel after that. Oh yarh, before i continue,let me just say, the night before we went to WuZhen, our local guide, meaning the China guide, told us to pack our clothes for one night, in a small bag, to bring to WuZhen, bcos we need to tavel by boat to the hotel in WuZhen and that our luggages will not be able to fit into the boat. And obviously, the boat has gotta be some sampan or what right! The whole bus was shocked. We were like asking each other, ' i thought we staying in some 4 star hotel? ' And not only that, the local guide added, 'don't worry, there are only small insects in the hotel, only small ones, like cockroaches and lizards, no big ones, so don't worry! Just don't open the windows too big, in case the frogs and mouse come in ' Damn, he made all of us so worried.

Ok, back to the main point. The night, after our dinner at WuZhen, we were all SUPER quiet, for the first time, when travelling on the bus to the so called 'jetty'. The local guide also kept quiet throughout that journey and we were all worried shit. We went down the bus so reluctantly, and board the boat. The place was kinda scary. But when we reached our hotel, we were all shocked, again. But shocked in a happy way this time round. The hotel in WuZhen was the best and nicest among the others! Its just that its location is kinda ulu. Oh well, it was even better than Shanghai's! Alright, at last, we realise that this local guide was playing a fool on us, and so, for the rest of the journey, we made fun of him too!

I must say, this guide is really FUNNY! SUPER! no doubts about it. His lame jokes and Singapore stories, never fail to keep us awake even through our 3 hours bus journey! He even taught us how to use egg white to make gel! Oh yarh, and his favourite phrase was 'I have nothing but money!' haha(: And obviously he spoke is some really funny english accent.The funniest guide i've ever came across! now you see why my trip was fun eventhough many things there suck? (: oh well, don't be jealous. haha!

oh yarh! we went to HangZhou before WuZhen, and that is the nicest place ever! HangZhou is also the hometown or our guide, Xiao Cao. HangZhou is kinda similar to Singapore! Many trees, quite clean. (: Best! I love HangZhou(:

Off to Shanghai after WuZhen. Mainly shopping there, nth much, polluted air, 'hiong' traffic.
If you're there, you will really be worried for the bus driver. The traffic there is really BAD. The cars just cut in like nobody's business! And the motorbikes and bicycles too! There is no such thing called pedestrian man! The pedestrian crossing is really just for show... And also, we saw smth SO ILLEGAL! shall not talk abt it here, ask me if you wanna know! (:

Oh well, i'm back, after 8 funny days. Reached Singapore this morning at 4am plus. I'm starting to miss everybody there. But yarh, i know i'd never get to see them again. Hmph, but i've got a souvenir from them, a keychain and a book. i dunno why they gave that to me? But yarh, i'll keep them as part of my memory of china(: hmph, its not easy to forget all those happy moments, and all of them, who brought so much happiness into my life, though its only that short 8 days.

will post pictures soon. i guess i need to sleep now(: i can't get to sleep in the airplane, wont explain why. the airplane sucks. everything about it sucks...
