BacK and Glad..

Hey all
Just got back this morning..around 4.00 and tired out but got my sleep.
Yeaa.. Overall China was great. Cold. So since i'm really kinda bored and wanting to get a few not so great thoughts out of my head for this whole moment, I'll just BLoG bout my whole trip from day 1 ehh.. oh and the pics will come later i guess.. not in the mood to transfer them

Day 1 , 9 Dec :
We reached the SHenzhen airport about 10.00 a.m. After everything was done, we were taken to lunch.. Food was ok for the first impression. As usual..CHina food is oil...=_='
Then.. I forgot what that place was called..but it was full of miniatures like the olden days palace and lots more.. which in the pictures look real. Was good. Evening: DInner.. over in china dinner's real early..boutt 6 something. We then went back to the same place to watch some theater show.. Great Show it was. And to the hotel -Knock-ouT-

Day 2, 10Dec :
Took a flight in the morning to Kunming. Was there for 3 days and i'll shorten it all here.
Since i'm not sure..which place to which day so yeaa.. We went to The Stone FOrest..Was quite cool. Most stones had a shape of it's own. ANd it's all natural. It's one of the Wonders of the World. Had quite fun. Tried climbing the rocks which were able to. Quite sharp and dangerous but nice. ANd a long walk. Hehh. And we also went to a cave. Famous for it's Twin Waterfalls. ONly one in the world. Had to climb around 300 over steps up. Good exercise after the Food. And Took an open cable car down. We went to some park too.. to see a temple.. or something..I don't really know what that was for. ANd i duno how many steps up again.. to a Dragon Gate. They had lots of those..things..like the well or pond... for wishing. Hehh. Anyways yeaa.. i think tht's all i can remember.

Day 5, 14 Dec :
Dali: Took about 5 hours drive to the destination. There was ...erm.. uh.. Ahh..i remember now.
Walk around 200 steps to the cable car. Which we saw a huge chinese chess thing. Yeaa.. that wasn't really anything to me..so yeaa. And plus the cultural shows...

Day 6, 15 Dec :
Lijiang : Another 4 hours to reach. There we went to a place called Tiger Leaping Gorge. That was a great place to me. Nice scenic spot. Around 400 steps down to the scenery; A great big rock with water gushing down everywhere. The climb up was tiring. Oh and i forgot to mention, over there in Lijiang is really quite high above sea level. SO the amount of oxygen there is quite little complared to the M'sia or other places. So you know.. We had to buy Oxygen which was stored in a can in case we feel tight. Hahahh. And erm..after that i forgot..Damn.. sorry.Too many places. I think the evening was free shopping.. if i'm not mistaken

Day 7, 16 Dec :
The Beautiful Shangri-la : We got to ride the horses over there. Hahahah..it's been long since i haven't rode on one.. and one more thing.. Over there..we see a lot of Yaks around. And i got to sit on one:) Time passed and after dinner, We went to visit a Tibetan family. And Tibetan's are really friendly people. They sang and dance. And served us food. We danced with them too. Great people they are. And my niece..Mandy you DonG! She's crazy.. yea over some dude.. hahaha Your Shangri-la Lo.. Hahah..ok back to me. Well tht was the time when i had really no oxygen. so as i was saying they are really friendly and crazy people over there. After the dance and all we asked them to take pictures with us.. so then after all.. As We( My sis, My nieces[the older ones] Mandy,megan and melanie... erm..and our tour leader. He's quite fun actually) were
walking down the stairs.. the guys of the family asked us ..whether we could stay there and not go back to M'sia.. hahaha...then i jokingly said.. Can can..hhaha i say so loud sumore.. ANd at that time the place was full of laughter and everyone was blurr bout what was happening..Then suddenly the guy..He pulled me up.. My gosh..Damn scary wei.. Was laughing and laughing and didn't realise was really out of oxygen. He held me for so long time you know..Really didn't want let me go until that dude's relatives..the girls had to rescue me..hahaha. Then at last i was ok..but still laughing.. Then it was Mandy's turn.. He pulled her up.. Ahh.. Then the ladies.. Pulled our tour leader as well.. Aiyo.. So as we were laughing and laughing over there which was on the stairs.. And after Mandy was free. we were saying bye and all.. then suddenly the crazy guy from the other end was running.. so scary..we ran all the way down the stairs.. And that time. we were in need of oxygen.. I couldn't even walk properly.. COuld die of laughter over there. Aishh.. damn.. At least a day full of laughter but in need of oxygen

Day 8, 17 Dec :
Still in the peaceful Shangri-la. We visited the National Park. Was quite good with the sceneries

Day 9, 18 Dec :
We went back to Lijiang. We were supposed to go up to the snow mountain but the strong winds disabled us to go. So We had a day with free activities. Which was obviously Shopping in the Old Town of Lijiang.

Day10, 19 Dec :
We finally had our chance to visit the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. And really, we were very lucky as it was snowing. And i mean snowflakes falling. Was a great great first-time experience. The mountain was 4506metres above sea level. We built a snowman. Well.. a small but cool one. You might not say it looks like a snowman but that was all we could do. And the snow mountain was a real wonder. We didn't really get to see it as it was all covered with mist. Until everyone there shouted when the mist cleared but that didn't even last for 20 seconds when the mist came back again. Was a real beatiful sight. Well that day obviously was the happiest day i can say. The sight of real, lot of snow. I could see i was the one who was really active playing and rolling around in the snow. Some of them were too Cold, and it was slippery so they were there for only a while. Well at least i had my sister and bro there to play with. Hehh. Good thing i was warm enough to stay out there. SO i had fun.. FOr at least my Last day there...
The next day we flew back. back to Shenzen and free shopping there for a few hours. After dinner we went back to the airport and HOME Sweet HomE

As for now, I'm Glad to be back home, on my bed.
And all i can say is CHinA's ColD, And very scenic.. And we had to WALK a LOT.
