In the meantime, please bear with me as i attempt to entertain you with more interesting chronicles.
Due to the lack of pictures this trip, we will have to do with words.
Rule 1. Whoever can drive in China, can drive anywhere in the world.
I am serious yo! In china, the drivers are the men! In Singapore all you have to look out for is what is infront of you and what's behind you. In China, you have to look out for the car infront of you, you have to look out for the cars behind you. You have to look out for the cars beside you trying to overtake you. You have to look out for pedestrain on the road who may be as close as 10 cm away from you when you zoom past them. You have to look out for the people peddling goods on the street and be careful not to knock them down. You have to look out for the people sleeping under the bridge and on the road. You have to look out for people moving goods twice their size with only a run down trolley and one silly rope to attach all the stacked up boxes. Plus more importantly, you have to look out for cyclist who think that their bicycles are as powerful as the motorcycles on the road!
To further prove the point that if you can drive in China you can drive anywhere, our bus driver reversed into the MAIN ROAD straight. Like you know orchard road that kinda road and then a bus suddenly reverses from far east shopping centre? Oh yeah we are all still alive dont worry. The driver is good.
Rule 2. Whoever said China is not cold is wrong.
China is holy mama oh my son COLD. First day when we arrived we were still docked in our normal singaporean wear of tshirts and shorts. The weather was cooling and it was about how it would normally be in an air conditioned class room. The second day, the wind got stronger and some of the poloers began to take out their jackets. By the third day, temperatures fell to 8 degress or less. The whole team wore jeans and shoes and many many many many thisrts and sweaters. I guess i have already proven my point the previous post. But then i just want to warn whoever that is going to china TSHIRTS and SHORTS are not enough. When they mean cold, they mean COLD.
Baskit, it was so cold that the air above the swimming pool condensed to form mist.
Rule 3. China food is cheap.
A not-too-bad meal in a chinese restaurant will cost around 5-6 sing bucks and trust me it is extremely worth it. You will probably spend about the same amount in Singapore just to get that kind of food ( 20-30 yuan). Go eat in china!
I think i ran out of stuff to say about china.
But never mind. Take a look at this. Blogger in chinese.
My whole blogger is now in chinese.
Okay i will blog about the infamous ' SHIT HAPPENS' tmr.
