FRIDAY - NO LESSON TODAY!

finally we have completed all bpe lessons and we are only left with the case study reports!! so u would think that i'll sleep till noon today right? however i admitted that i'm very gei-kiang(act smart) bcos i make myself woke up early! few of us woke up at 8am for jogging and we still managed to have the mac breakfast before 10am. (their breakfast meals stop selling at 10am)

fyi: china mac are non- halal as they sell pork burgers.

this breakfast set consists of a pork burger, a ham & egg pie and a drink.

tasted average.

and they have big breakfast too! almost the same as sg.

and price is much cheaper

went out to the night market in the evening and did a little shopping!

that's all for today!

SATURDAY- OUR 武当山 EXCURSION

facts of 武当山:

In years past, the mountains of Wudang were known for the many Taoist monasteries to be found there, monasteries which became known as an academic centre for the research, teaching and practise of meditation, Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Taoist agriculture practises and related arts.

it was a longggg longgg longgg trip to our destination again. we were going out of wuhan to the 道教圣地- 武当山! 5 hours of journey can kill.

however, i had this with me

and read a little during the journey.

and xiang said i'm very childish :(

who knows he might come and borrow it from me one day

and i'm gonna laugh at him and blog it up and let everyone knows!

finally we are reaching and we had lunch at the nearby restaurant

on our way to take the bus up the mountain

this bus is never comfortable bcos i kept turning round and round up the mountain!

DAMN GIDDY! and saw someone vomited :S

after rounds and rounds of bus ride, we have reached one of the tourist attraction at

武当山-太子坡!

this boy boy was helping his mother to sell fruits!

fortune tree (i think)

NOTE! see clearly that the auntie is posing on the stairs

center of attraction and block the passage way!
she took so long!

next stop:

武当山-西岩

look how misty!
it's very cooling up here!! and u can't even see the buildings clearly

STEFFI! :D

see the corn that is on willis's hand? it's cooked using charcoal and tasted dry but crispy which was similar to popcorn.

and

fyi3: my friend saw one of the stall auntie who was selling it dropped one of the corn on the very dirty floor with dirt and dusts and she picked it up and put it back to sell! omgg!

i wonder if willis's corn was clean or..? :s

it's night time again and we checked in to our hotel.
we guys went out to explore around the place.

fyi4: i wore this oversized uncle slippers(from the hotel) out!
although it's ugly but very comfortable ok.
i think i'm 100% local bcos i really 不顾形象 already!
HAHA!

another cute little boy!

and his sister.
she posed for me to take her picture!

their night market

end of today!

Sunday

武当山-金顶

facts of 金顶:
The golden palace, the symbol of the Wudang mountain, is the sign of Wudang Taoism reaching a high peak under the support of the imperial family. Standing in front of the Golden Palace, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scene of Wudang Mountain, as far as 400 kilometers.

we took the giddy bus up to the half way of the mountain again, then we had 2 options.

1. climb up by foot ( which they said we would need 2 to 3 hours of climbing :s )
2. by cable car ( 20 mins of ride :D)

obviously, this was our choice

the queue was very long! waited for quite sometime and i saw the singapore superstar 洪俊杨! look alike?

hahaha actually this was teckyi! the imposer :p

fyi: the locals are really skillful in cutting queue and pushes people like nobody's business.

so we, as singaporeans must show them our power of being KIASU!! dont give them chance to cut queue! ahhaha!

finally we were on our way up to the top of the worldd!!

2 person/cabin.

so i had 二人世界 with ss! hei hei~

there's one part we were moving almost vertically upwards as it is very very steep! moreover it's very misty and it's like we were moving up into the sky.

reached! the weather is quite hot up here.

so much different from the bottom!

when we reached, surprisingly we saw all the climbers (those who chose to climb) have reached already! and they were like all panting and sweating! yeah they are fast and (find trouble) hahah! ok why not i'll say i'm lazy

however, more steps to go before reaching the golden palace.
