okok.. this is the new design for mi blog... hope u guys like it... been such a long time since i do templates liao so it's like realli rusty..
leave a comment!
We will come to this later.... for now enjoy the rest of the site bah... hahhaz.....
Now to get back to our story of going on the tour..... it was a realli lousy tour lor... we had to get up like at 4.30 to get ready for the 5.30 bus.... everyone of us was in a panic... hahahz cuz there was onli one bathroom and it had to be shared by the 7 of us....
but we are alreadi used to it liao... dEn when a mini-van pulled up next to us with ppl alreadi packed into it... we got the shock of our lives.... the mini-van was so dirty, we couldn't even see the inside of it.... it wasn't until a larger bus pulled up next to us tat we sighed in relief... although the bus was dirty and old, it sure beats squeezing onto a mini-van with another 5 ppl....
the first thing we got on the tour bus, the lady kept talking abt her experience in this line of work and wat are some of the rules to follow... we were so tired becuz of not enuff slp tat we dozed off and her rule 1 was not to slp while on the bus....
such a stupid rule lor... she said something abt chinese ppl going for tours and slping on the bus and in the end, not knowing anything when they get off the bus at the end of the day... but she kinda said it like a rap... so it was rather funni...
but she was like speaking super fast and everything juz spilled out of her mouth like bullets... and cuz we were sitting all the way at the back... we didn't realli hear anything... hahahz she even can memorise her script and speak for one hour w/o stopping.. REALLI...
thruout the whole journey to Great Wall... she juz kept talking and talking...
and juz as we are reaching Great Wall, she told us each to pay extra 70rmb for some tram ride and entrance fee to some wax museum... we were rather reluctant but as she said it was alreadi paid for by the tour agency so we had to pay up.... so actually the whole tour cost 220 rmb and not the said 150 rmb... big diff right??
Den there were this grp of 3 gals sitting in front who juz said they forgot to bring money and they get to go for the museum and everything else lor... tat's so unfair lar... we should haf also done the same thing... hahahz...
The climb up the great wall is realli wonderful... although we can't realli say we climbed the Great Wall, cuz we sat a tram half-way, but the journey up to the peak was alreadi quite tough lor... all of us were like panting for air by the time we reached the peak... not tat it was long distance or anything but the slopes were realli steep and the steps are all very high.. and the air was very thin... so we realli had to take deep breathes....
afTer climbing up the Great wall, we each got a keychain and was on the way down the mountain without any certificate cuz we thot it was too ex to make one... den after we arrived at the foot of the tram ride, alreadi there were ppl waiting at the bottom... giving out cards to cheat ppl to buy certificates... these ppl are realli fast and b4 u can say no, they alreadi printed ur name and ask u for 30 rmb le...
and so tat was how i got conned in to buying a certificate... of course i was the onli one out of the 7 to get tricked... hahhaz... cuz the rest of them responded fast enuff to say no... but i was rather slow in noticing the price banner tat was hanging over our heads in huge bold printed fonts.... bUt there was a medal included lar... so not too bad lor...
dEn afTer tat, we went to sOme jade shop to buy jade and there were many pieces of jewellery avail.... but they were all quite ex... and we didn't bring enuff money out although they all looked very nice, but we had spent most of our money cheated by the tour guide liao...
dEn bought us to go buy beijing duck but it is so salty and it was not even nice... it was fake beijing duck.. a cheaper version... hahahz and the tour guide brought us to many other such places where there were food stuff but all not very enticing de...
tHe onlI place i realli enjoyed was at the "jiu long you le yuan", 9 dragons theme park...
we had expected a theme park like singapore but when we reached there, the rides were all for kids and there was not a single soul playing at all, most of the ppl were there to pray at the temple... so we juz went in and toured the temple... but the part i realli liked was the wind there... there was this realli realli huge pond... looks like an ocean and there was this bridge over the pond....
when u stand on the bridge, the huge gusts of wind could realli blow u away and walking against the wind feels sooooo good with the wind in ur hair.... even more windy than in singapore... the kites here also fly higher than in singapore cuz of the strong winds... hahahz...
but i kinda miss the food back at home... juz thinking abt chicken rice is enuff to make mi water.. everyday we are eating the same food lor.. cuz there are onli these few stalls ard here and the can food here all so weird de.... and we dun even haf a proper kitchen to cook our food so we haf to eat outside...
yesterday we went to sing KTV at some place called melody... it was realli cheap to sing there and they had all the latest songs... sang for almost 3 hours... finally had some entertainment avail to us le... cost us abt a total of 180 rmb wif free flow drinks... hahahz... and we shared among the 5 of us... so each one abt S$6... maybe we shall go there again next week and it was onli a 10 min bus ride from our place...
okok time to go le... feeling tired after the game of basketball... need to go back to bath... so i shall juz sign off here... and btw i juz uploaded some fotos... do go and take a look... tataz...
