The Trip was Awesome!

My trip to Beijing was really great though I was the only foreigner on board on that package tour, I had a great time and all of my companions were so friendly. I didn't regret being with them on that trip. Everyday was so busy and we had so much activities and sites to visit so we ran most the time. This is the downside of having a package tour because you cannot really appreciate everything about the place. Like when we went to the Bird's Nest, I wanted to take a look at all the corners of the place but I couldn't 'coz our tour guide wanted us to meet on time so we didn't have much time to look around the wonderful and amazing place. Besides, I couldn't speak much Chinese so almost all of the times I went with my newly found friends and asked them to translate some things for me. Huh what a tough but enjoyable days I had there! A trip worth reminiscing indeed. Smiles.

Beautiful West Lake in a Neck of Time Adventure

My stay in Hangzhou last May 4-6 was so great in fact wonderful. Every day we went to the most beautiful place – West Lake. This is the place where lovers love to have their wedding pictorials and honeymoon. The place is just so big and awe-inspiring. That is our main reason why we always go there every day. Why? You think it’s boring? No, definitely not. The place is just so massive and in fact one cannot get tired of wandering all over the place for its scenery is just simply breath-taking. Our three days stay there wasn’t enough though we enjoyed so much despite the rain and all unexpected circumstances. We went on the all the rides such as the lake cruise, in land tour, and of course the most unforgettable bicycling experience. Unforgettable? Yes, indeed because we got lost in the middle of catching up with the time limit for our bus going home. Well, luckily we got it at the neck of time. We ran very fast from the bus stop to the bus station which is I think five-minute walk and we made it only two minutes to get there. With all the busy people milling around who’d also want to get to their own destination we managed to find our way. Take note we don’t know how to read Chinese and my speaking skills is just pretty basic. Smiles. With our luck, we made it all the way through. And when we got on the bus we muttered many thanks to the driver who waited a bit for us. Sounds VIP? Nope we weren’t for we arrived at the bus station at exactly 3:59 in the afternoon. Grins. Surely we’d like to go there soon and we are planning to also go up north going to the most beautiful mountain of Anhui province – Huangshan. Just wait and see.

Arrival

Today has been a long day for us. We just arrived at our apartment at half past nine in the evening with all our luggage and shopping bags. It has been so nice to have a breather in another city. We’ve seen lots of panoramic views and witnessed the daily life of each city – Shanghai and Hangzhou. It has been such a wonderful vacation indeed. Now, I am pretty tired and I need to rest my body. It’s just that I missed this blog so much that I go online and update it. Well, I guess I have to just write more soon as I am going to sleep now and rest my tired body. Got to go for now. Smiles.
