DAY 5 OF YUNNAN!!!
Woke up earlier today, booked out of the hotel we stayed in and sat the bus to the 1st bend of the Lijiang river. It was quite cold when we got there. Omg mum bought more strawberries from the stalls there. They were selling some cool antique stuff. We just took some shots and went back up the bus. Didn't get to take much cos you have to pay to go closer to the river. So we had to take from a distance and my batteries gave out halfway.
That's the entrance to the place that we couldn't go in. :(
If i'm not wrong, that's the 1st bend. Then again there are a few bends down there!
Anyway, we continued on towards Shrangri-La and we had to say bye to our Lijiang guide. Finally reached there after like forever. Met our new guide who looked quite young but we found out later that she's 28! Hahahaha and she will take part in singing competitions. So she sung us a song to welcome us. While refuelling at the petrol station, we met 2 dogs, 1 of which is real small and cute. Janice went around the bus to avoid the dogs cos she finds dogs scary. Hahahaha Then the dogs kinda chased after Tricia for a while.
That's the small cute one and the big buffy one! Awww..
Went for lunch after the dogs and we met another ASA group and both groups had quite a time discussing the different itinerary. After that it was more discussion of the itinerary. Hahahahaha
Up close and personal with a yak!
K it's wasn't a real yak. The restaurant actually had this! Hahahaha XD
After lunching, we went to the ancient town of Shrangri-La. It was real cool and had this temple and a big golden thingy that you could turn. Each turn represented one recital of the entire buddhist scriptures if i'm not wrong. The thingy requires a few people to push cos it's heavy. There were people selling some barbecued stuff at the town center and we saw more dogs!!
That's the big gold thingy.
Entrance to the temple after climbing lots of steps.
Booked into our hotel which had a third bed for me!! So no more sleeping on foldable beds for 2 nights!! The hotel was kinda boring though cos it only had mahjong as the recreation. Our toilet got stuck and the tap water is dang cool. It comes out cloudy. After a while, lots of bubbles rise to the top and pop and the water becomes clear again. Quirky. Anyway, since it was a while till our dinner. Dad, Mum, Aunt meow, Junx and i decided to go walk around the hotel and visit the shops opposite. Bought some stuff and went back to the hotel for dinner. So after dinner we decided to have a kids.. err, i mean young people's gathering a.k.a party at janice's room. Hahaha it was quite awkward at first cos it was the first ever. Hahahaha TongTong asked whether i am JC2. Hahahaha Omg, found out that TongTong is actually Company leader in Girl Guides and Janice is her junior. Small world. Hahahaha We played indian poker, murderer, a failed round of taiti and watched some funny chinese show. Supposed to teach Janice and Benj how to play taiti but we kinda failed. Dad called and i had to leave. Felt so bad for breaking up the party.
The hotel we stayed in!
Indian poker!! :D
