reached singapore at about 0330 and reached home at 0500. wow by the time i had unpacked, it was almost 0545 already. haha time to go to school! luckily it's a sunday so i slept till now at 1000.
china was amazing. i think have the accent speaking chinese already. haha.
the trip was a cascade of emotions, at least for me, but i think i speak the same for the others. we had boring sightseeing on the 1st day, then memorable and unforgettable time for the next 2days bonding with our class at Ji Nan's version of a JC. then, time to part and take a 5hour bus ride to tai an to see tai shan (mount tai. haha.). or was it to see the confucius village? whatever the case, tai shan was spectacular because it is tall for 1 thing and it is huge for another. C.V. was a bloody huge tourist trap. fucking lots of shops earning tourist money but the scenery was nice. can't get the greenery back in singapore. 2nd last day was spent in qing dao (green island). foggy weather there and it's damn cold. now i understand why homeless people can freeze to death. we climbed lao shao. holy shit it's spectacular. the tour guide told us that this mountain, though shorter than tai sha, was more heavenly to behold because there's water features. like the chinese phrase 'you shan you shui'. really nice scenery with chunks of rock towering over you. then there's also the dam that looks useless from afar but it bloody holds back tons of water. haha damn nice since we all are mountain bumpkins. wait, we can't be mountain bumpkins. city urchins, more likely.
alright i'll talk about segments of the trip soon; it's too selfish not to share the learning points.
photos up soon. damn while people are complaining about lack of memeory space, i'm complaining i have a thousand shots left. haha
