..shui in china..

YANGZHOU TRIP

Slept at 4 the day before.
Woke up late.
Made the whole bus wait for us. Our bad.
I guess it’s a Sporean thing. We are always late.
But the terrible thing is China people are ALWAYS early!
Made us look so bad!
Even if we are on time, they are still waiting for us.
Even if we are earlier than the allocated time, we are still last. Sigh.
We can never beat them to this time competition!

This entry will be super image heavy.

Pictures say a thousand words! Haha...

Day 1

瘦西湖

The place was kind of crowded when we went over.
It was a budget trip so there was no tour guide to tell us the story of the lake.
We tried to tag along some tour guide, but went separate ways soon after.

So we just went around taking pics with everything we see on the way!
Produced some really good pictures!

We look so sweet and innocent looking! 青春少女！hahahha...

Don't we look like we are posing for some album covers???? hahahaha...zhen says she looks like the 女主角 of the cover. hahah!

My first attempt to use the manual close-up shot. Blurred the back and focused on the front. Not bad right???

At this place, there is this lady who helps people make 面塑 on the spot. It is the use of coloured flour to make out a your miniature figure. I thought it would be a really good souvenir from yangzhou. Who knows, khai and i waited almost an hour just for her to make that figurine. Oh well, but its quite cute! haha..cos its me! =P

The lady at work.
Its a family business.

And this is the me she made! Exactly what i am wearing that day.

绒毛玩具街

We proceeded on to this street that sells so many soft toys at really cheap prices.
But didn't buy any back cos they all look quite cheapo and fake.

But To be fair, there are cute ones. Spot the one in black. haha!!

After that we were on our own. The aim of our dinner hunting trip was to look out for Yangzhou fried rice! What's the point of visiting yangzhou without eating its famous fried rice???

After a long wait and long walk, we finally found it!
See the happy grin on zhen and khai's faces!Poor zhen actually walked such a long distance with her sprained ankle.

Ironically, we ate the fried rice in a shop which speciality is porridge.
So of course we tried their speciality. Porridge!

This sweet porridge actually taste and look like Or Ni. But they added banana and milk. Really special, though it doesnt look that appealing from the picture.

And this is Lionel!
The only guy among us Singaporeans. Really fun-loving guy!

Interesting pics of the day

Terrible terrible english!

Innovative way of advertising!

Day 2

We were the last to report again.
This time its not really our fault.
In fact we were actually early.
The meeting time was scheduled at 830. We were down at 815 and everybody was already on the bus! Sigh.

Anyway, had a really heavy breakfast.
Noodles, Baos, and my fav Xiao long tang bao! Really huge ones!!!

何园

Nice garden.

But not exactly fun. So we started taking lame pics again!

Khai is desperately trying to fix her hair cos i messed it up. haha.
And Lionel is so act cute!

I made Lionel pose in front of my camera reading the carvings, but it looked so wrong! No feeeeling arh!

Zhen trying to look real studious. Succeeded??

We risked our lives, climbed up the rock walls to take the pic! haha

The top view

On a side note, Lionel took a pic of this cute thai guy who's with us on the trip!

THANKS!
