China Trip 2010!! Day 1

Shall... erm... finally blog about my China trip that I had in August~~~





You know I was thinking over this for months "should I blog about my trip?" because of the 60GB amount of pictures that was taken (not including videos) so I had second thoughts about it.... but then again, would be a total waste to not brag about my first trip overseas in the last 9 years... yes I have not gone overseas for 9 years, that even includes going to Singapore~~

Either way... haha well I'll do my best, would be better to break this all into a few post because too much for a single post... so shall blog day by day on what happens and stuff~~~

To begin, we had an early flight... so had to be in the airport around erm... I think about 6am or something... go too early, decided to have breakfast..
then to find out the crapping horror of the price of just a tuna bread in the airport.... siao ah these people -_-"
after awhile of waiting... finally could go up to the plane....

and for me I kinda went berserk with taking pictures... forgive me, I'm just a little too excited about this~~

somehow people asked me why nobody stopped me from taking pictures?? Because I think this is something illegal or some sort...?? Don't know..... scared people will create a pirated airport??
Wasn't long before we begun to fly.... somehow my parents have been telling people that I have a fear of flying... actually I am not sure but since they kept saying, I think I've convinced myself about it....

But now with a camera.... ahh screw it la, I want the window view~~ XD
Good bye Malaysia....super messed up wei the roads -_-"

a 5 hour flight.... and the chairs aren't the best...
but she seemed to have slept well...
viewing friend's camera pictures... ugly dog wei -_-"
well wasn't long.... then we were above China skies~~ China has better clouds I think~



Even the roads are so... organized~~

Heh.... well this was the scary part... when they suddenly announced:

"We'll be landing shortly"

then suddenly there was this loud sound

BOOM!!!!!

and we were all like "WHAT THE CRAP!?!?!?" and looked outside...... wahlao... good thing the wing is still there, not sure what is it but when you're thousands of feet in the sky and when a boom sound happens... it's not a pretty sight.....

Landing was really rough too... I thought I'd never make it alive =.=

Either ways... whew... welcome to China~~
well their timezone is the same as ours.... saves the hassle of changing my watch time =)
After picking up our bags and stuff, went to buy a bus ticket~~ and watching how these people enjoy life on the massaging chair~~

is it really that good???
After quite some time on the bus, we got off and then we had to walk quite a distance to the Hangzhou's largest train station~~ yeah the huge building in the distance~~
of course this picture was too interesting I couldn't help myself XD
anti missile motorbike =)
then after that.... stayed in a motel nearby the station~~
Not the best, but you can't complain but be happy for a place to stay =)

then stomach growling.... time for lunch~~ =)
we had 牛肉拉面 which is beef noodles... but the noodles is specially made on the spot where they twist and pull and some sort~
Of course if you've noticed there's barely any beef inside there... but the noodles itself can make you very full already...
then this was the drink I instantly fell in love with immediately after trying it out.... Ice Green Tea with lemon.... what would they think of next??? XD
Then had my first China products experience in a 1RMB shop... pirated colgate =p
next destination... went on a bus~~ and watching the culture through a window.... this is rather dangerous don't you think???
colored bikes~ =)
we then stopped off to this nearby park... I thought was like some old traditional thing...
Then again... love knows no boundaries nor shame XD
when we saw the park... erm.... wow?? O.o
waterlillies as far as the eye could see~~ but too bad it isn't in season if not it would've been a great view~~

you know.... for a park it's really awesome lo..... so far compared to Malaysian parks -_-"
a whole bunch of flying birds~~
Just join in the fun =)
and the river is filled with these.... erm... moss-like thingy~~ oh so wonderful XD
then had a small toilet break.... the structure is just so awesome O.o
along with these stonning people
when we came to this part... the view was..... awesome O.o

looks like what you could see in movies!!!


but at this part I was quite tired from all the walkin... time to lie down and take pictures~~
this was the best I could go XD
stone stone~~
Did I tell you that the temperature was 38c?? which is crappingly hor.... especially since there is no movement in the air, it's stale and..... dry... humid.... very hot...
you'll see quite a number of people in the park
it's a common thing also seeing people cycle.... there's hundreds of them all over the place cycling...
of course I forgot to change the camera settings so couldn't capture a straight shot.... but wanted to show you all the little doggie on his bicycle =p
Friend wanted to bring us on a boatride... to visit an ancient temple over the lake.... but the temple was closed, and they are over-charging us for the boat... so... no ride~
part of their parks are filled with.... tombstones... with famous people whom I have not heard of before...
even this is a tomb, not the man... but the round thing behind me.... you could see a tomb in almost every corner of the park, with so much people in China.... so many historical characters, this felt more like a graveyard than a park already....
with the weather being so hot.... I was coming so close to wanting to go nude.... as in... seriously....
then the sun begun to set~~

and friend had something for us to see, so we rented bikes.... (better than almost going naked when walking)
you could rent bikes all over the place, because with a culture that barely drives cars, they seem to be enjoying the cycling part~~
but with the bicycle feeling so short.... I had my doubts that it could hold me...
so we went to the other corner of the park.... where they had this musical water shooting thingy...
so it's just water shooting out with music in the background.... but this isn't my cup of tea because I've recently downloaded a musical fountain video to watch XD
at this moment.... somehow I felt very tired, very dead, kinda like sick in some way.... maybe the weather??? But I just felt like wanting to go back to the motel and crash.... but can't.... dinner time....




all the weird food =p
somehow China people especially love chicken feet...... if you're a chicken and if you have feet... stay away from China O.o

After that... time to return the bikes.....
with the time being at around 8pm like that... it's still crapping hot.... look at the sweat O.o

Whew.... back to the station, to buy train tickets, because we'll be going to Shanghai early in the morning...
people all around the station...
while lining up =)
after this part I was too tired to take any more pictures.... so when we got back to our rooms.... just crashed after taking a bath.... whew.... too much for a first day~~~ hoping that the next day' weather would be better in some ways... =)

either way.... that's day one of China trip.... a long day indeed~~~
