Continue from the last blog.
So much to say yet dun know how to say... okay, enuff of my crap!!! =-p
one of the thing that i really missed in china was the cool temperature (avg 6-15 degree C), thought by then our china trip, temp should have rose to quite comfortable level...
But when i attend the briefing, the tour leader warned us that the temp there is still very cold and told us to bring some extra thick clothings and thermal wear... as the group that went earlier had told him... true enuff, the moment i stepped out of the plane and walked thru the pld (if i still remembered correctly), can feel almost the cold wind blowing thru my sweater... oh gosh, it's that cold. Had taken the overnight flight, as the flight is almost filled to the capacity, i does not have the luxury of taking 3 seats to myself... so hence, i didnt really sleep well.... but good few hrs of sleep, thanks to my last 1 week plus of working super late OT... slept almost immediately after take-off... the itinenary was quite packed, as usual.... but not as "shiong" as this one... almost leaving the airport, we were quickly whisked off to take the "ci fu lie che"... the ride was a bit disappointing though... though the speed was 300 plus plus fast (cant remember the actual speed), it's still not very fast... maybe next time can try the bullet train in tokyo... =) but anyway, i will say that i have ever take the maglev train before. but it's quite exciting to see our training passes by the cars in the expressway... wow... cant feel the speed though.
Oh, the 1st place that we visited was the "Wu Zhen", pretty old town and beautiful houses, and the settings just made me feel that i just returned to few hundred years ago... except the "kong tiao" and the electronics stuffs makes it so contemporary.taken quite a number of shots there.
after which we took a long ride to hangzhou, visits few tourist locations like Xihu, changqiao gong yuan, changjiang da qiao, zhonghua men, Nanjing's "da chu sha ji nian guan", Wusi "san guo cheng", shanghai's "dong fang min zhu ta", "cheng huang miao old street", "nanjing dong lu pu sing jie" etc... one of the highlights was the Nanjing visit to the museum where i got to see the remains and the history and the the testimony of the surviors... hmmm, there's only 1 way out and we are not allowed to make a turn back... as translated to chinese " bu zou hui tou lu"... what excites me when i talk or breathe, can see the steam coming out from my mouth, but only in the morning. =( every minute, every second, i can feel the cold wind blowing at my face... as if i'm staying in the freezer, not that bad lah... no wonder all my pimples have been blown flat.. haha.... esp the night when we reached Nanjing, it's was raining, and the temp there fell to near to 3 d.c... huh, really missed the cold temp, am steaming as i'm writting my blog.
Visited few places which will really make a big hole out of our pockets, places like to the pearl factory, the "glass" painting (we saw the teacher personally there), the long jing cha's place etc.. cant remember since i didnt spend a single cent there... except when i bought stuffs for my frens. heng, my parents also didnt spent much there... if not, it will become a "white elephant" in my house. i think most of the pp in this group really shopping spree at the "silk factory".. many bought the max no of blankets allowed for 1 person... pillows are unlimited.... =)
We had a option to have on a additional package on top of the package we signed with ctc, so anyway, every one of the passenger signed up though not very cheap leh... which includes to few nights to the "night markets" and dinner and to the health centre at Shanghai. hmmm, we only visited 1 temple which is good... but anyway, only few of them went inside to do the ritual while the rest of us stayed outside the temple and enjoyed the cold breeze... oh ya, got to know this family who also our basic.. actually, at first i didnt know that they are believers until when we went shopping, she mentioned that she's buying for her church frens wow..... hmmm, a total of 20 pp went for this trip... couples, frens and family travelling together... as we were sitted to the same table with the same pp, got to know few of them better...
hmmm, during this trip, i got lotsa of opportunities to show my love to my dad, mum and my sister, not just words but in actions... which i never take iniative to do so in the past. hope that my relationship with my parents will deepen after the trip, esp with my dad. Oh ya, that aunt that the family i mentioned who is also a christian, shared her testimony to my mum during our 2nd last night during dinner... it's heartening to see my mum opened to the gospel and hear that she's opening her heart to Jesus. Still have to continue praying for my parents' salvation. esp my dad, who's still resisting to the power of God... that night he shared that he cannot believed that God can healed from a crippled to the extent of able to walk like a normal person... though sad to hear that from my dad's mouth, but i believed in a almighty God whose power is beyond my imgination and human logic.
Eh, really fortunate to have a tour guide following us all the way from Singapore to Shanghai and back to Sgp... at least dun have to worry which form forgot to write, since everything has been filled up and we just need to sign our "ding ding da ming"... hehe.. =p... ya, a bit missed the times, of rushing to the next destination,... times and jokes with the tour leader... and the "huangpu jiang" chat with the tour guide (quan pei). hmmm, shall not elaborate any further... lest those who read might get jealous... haha... Oops... okay lah, i'm too "qua zhang" lah.
Hmmm, cannot write out my whole experience there... but the best will to go there and see it for yourself and have a taste of it... =) try CTC... hahaha.... mah chiam doing a free advert for them.
