Here comes the second part of my trips: after GIP
Spending our time in Inner mongolia:
most of the dish there is mutton. dun really like it.
An ice cream is good to cool myself down from the hot weather.
After inner mongolia we went to Sichuan, chengdu
to visit the pandas
slippers gave way thus a need to tie my leg with the slipper with a rubber band
more pandas
After Chengdu, we head to jiu zai gou, the northern part of si chuan
The water is really very clear, very nice. the weather there gives you the experiences of the 4 seasons as well.
It was super cold in the morning, and turns hotter and hotter as it reaches noon and night time.
And i found my favourite macadamia nuts there!
After Si chuan, we travelled to Yun nan, lijiang.
Lijiang is an old town, quite a nice place
Before heading to shangrila, in between lijiang and shangrila was the tiger leaping gorge that we went.
A nice almost 16 hours trek for 2 days. quite amazed by ourselves, and to be able to sleep just opposite mountains.
And this is the pretty flowers from shangrila.
Headed to Napa Lake, which is a grassland. although nothing much, but i got to see beautiful horses. much more beautiful than those at inner monogolia.
And this is the kitten at kunming's hostel.
Up next was guangxi, guilin. we went to yang shuo and long sheng.
As visa was only 180days stay in China, we went to macau so that we'll have extra 15 days in china as a visitor instead.
Back to China, hainan island, we had beach time at sanya. the beach is indeed beautiful!
The hot summer in China is really unexpecting. temperature can go up to as high as 36 degrees when i was there. we ordered fruit ice, and there it is here! Really nice as they use 100% fruit, and what they do is just mix with the ice.
And so this post end what i want to say about my whole GIP.
It was indeed a good 184 days, full of fun, joy and laughters. Seldom we'll have the chance to be out of Singapore for so long.
This holiday break before school start is somewhat different for me. The usual me will be busy with cca stuffs, meeting up with people. this time round, i find myself staying at home more than going out. Staying at home too frequent can leads to boredom. Cause you tend to reflect more when you have nothing to do.
Nothing to do : reading story book, wii to play, packing of room( 1/4 way), essay to write (3/4 way), dvd to watch (there are 2. the san guo itself is like at least 80episodes), going back to SP Club, resume to edit.
i dun consider this life as busy. maybe is a norm for me that i'm always busy during holidays, that's why concluding i'm quite slack for this holiday. And as i think more, i suddenly remember the 3 words someone mentioned to me before: 价值观, values. As one age, the values in life changed. Somehow the way we look at things are different now. come to think abt it, the topics that you chat with anyone abt the age of you is not abt ' where you're planning to go next week?'. Instead, it've become ' so what are your plans after you graduate? etc etc'
Too many things to think about and all the topics abv is never ending.
i think most impt of all, is to set your priorities right
