Righty... now from where i left off...

16th May

It's still raining in Lijiang!!!! ugh... but we still decided to go on for our horsey ride up Yu1 Long2 Xue3 Shan1! 380 Yuan!!! Damn wet and sucky siah. Not that it wasnt fun but shux, we were freezing our arse off and we din get to see a thing thanks to the rain, fog and mist. Think everyone was just wishing all the rain would just go away...

I was quite thankful that my horse (Xiao3 Zhou1) was relatively tame. Besides its incesstant need to eat, drink, pee, shit and fart(yes, it farted ALOT), the ride was quite fun. Wenshun's horse tried to run away and i think that took whatever fun that was left on his horse ride.

At night, we managed to really torture ourselves by walkin out in berms and slippers. Siaoz... Everyone was giving us those weird "are u a looney?" look. I mean, i'ld i think i was outta mind mind walkin around in flipflops in the cold. Of course, we were like totally drenched, and thankfully for the presence of the washer lady we were able to get our stuffs washed and dried out. And, she roasted my gloves!!!! Holes!!!

17th May

We decided to check out the town today, and guess what... SUN!!! and we got about posting our postcards which would probably only reach singapore when we get back. Wenshun and i then found this little wet market on our way to buy the bus tickets. We checked out the market and pigged out on a bunch of buns and stuffs. After that, we decided to look around the the old city, this time without the rain. We missed the chance to enter the MU residence which was the home of some rebel leader. DAMN... We could have gotten a good view of the entire old city of Lijiang if we had gotten in!

Dinner was great! We went back to the place where we had lunch on the first day in Lijiang. And i had fried dragonflies! yummy! dunno y u guys dun like it. only wanjun shares the same sentiments as i do! y the agony face????

oh yar... almost broke ler... had to borrow money from ernest... =(

18th May

We set off from the now bright and sunny Lijiang to Zhongdian, which is better known to the outside world as Shangrila! The bus ride took 5 hours. Nothing much on the bus trip cept for the dumb a*** who was like smoking all the way! Idiot! When we got to Shangrila we managed to find a guide really quick! His name's Pichu! (eh... i cant rememeber the first part of his name...) He found us a nice little place to stay and we were quickly on our way to Napa Sea to look at the plains. BAD IDEA. it was another horse ride... which we jus moved about on the plains. And we din take up the idea to move another 100m jus to see some Yaks...

After that, we went on to TianSheng Bridge. This was the first place on the trip that i really made me go WAAHH!!! yeaps. A naturally formed stone bridge as a result of geysers and steam from the ground. Before we went to check out the bridge and its surroundings, we went down to the valley to check out the steam baths and stuffs. That's where ernest and wanjun decided to have a little dip for their feet. The rest of us passed on it... low on funds... =(

The view from the "bridge" was breathtaking!!!! Not gonna spend time describing it... when i get my pictures up then u all see it!!!!

In the evening, pichu got us back, and the bunch of us went off looking for dinner! We managed to find this gigantic mass dance session which we all joined in!!! Damn cool siah!!! Danced for quite a while b4 we went off looking for dinner!!! then its back to our dorm...

oh yar, and ernest managed to finish up the gigantic pack of potato chips... and kena kan3 by the gers...

18th May

ritey... spent the whole day out on the road to explore Bai2 Shui3 Tai2. Damn nice place. and yet another breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. It's got this bunch of places for praying for differnet stuffs. At the top of this natural spring cum limestone formation's this little pool which was crystal clear! Yes, i'll post the pics up when i get the chance.
