Back from China.
It really feels like morning right now because I just came back from China after a in total 15 hour flight and took a 3 hour nap. Now it is 7:55 PM on July 5th, the longest day I have ever experienced.
ARRRRGGGGGUUUUH.
So.
What did I do....
it's very blurry right now. This day is way too long. >___> I woke up on July 5th at 6:00 AM in China and got to America at around 11:00 AM on July 5th after my long flight.
Nevertheless, these are the cities I went to and the sites I saw:
Beijing - Tiannamen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Great Wall of China, A Jade Factory, Hutong Area, Summer Palace
Xi'an - Terra Cotta Warriors, The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I SAW KATHERINE IN CHINA!!! :DDD
Guilin - Boat Ride on Li River
Suzhou - Canal Ride, Humble Administrator's Garden, Silk Factory
Wuxi - Taihu Lake, Pearl Factory
Shanghai - The tour guide took us to someone's house for black market shopping in the morning and then afterwards when we were given free time my mom and I met with my Auntie Flora for more black market shopping. >___> I bought a couple of things nevertheless. and for dinner (with my cousin Charlie and Olivia and their maid too). The next day I met my dad's secretary, Sarli, and visited the East China Normal University, and my dad's SVO office in Shanghai. Then we went off to shop some more. x__x
Hong Kong - I went for a half day tour and then we met with my Yeh Yeh (my Grandfather on my dad's side) and we walked around Hong Kong spending time with him. I also met with Uncle Frances and some of my Yeh Yeh's buddies that he hangs out with in the office they worked in (they don't really work in there anymore though). I got new glasses. And striped socks because I didn't have any unused socks left. We rode all public transportation available; the public bus many times, the subway, the ferry, the train. I bought four CDs (Mayday CD, Mayday VCD, YiDA, and the older Gorillaz Album which seems to have a new cover). I also saw my Grandmother's grave, and my Great Grandfather's Grave for the first time.
Oh Jetlag, jetlag, jetlag.........................
I got a lot of stomach aches. lots of stomach aches.
and lots of bug bites. even one with an AIR BUBBLE WTF TALK ABOUT WEIRD AND GROSS. but you didn't need to know that.
anyways...the bathrooms....were interesting.
oh yes! and I got addicted to watching Chinese Music Videos on Channel [V]. Hahahaha!
um....I'll elaborate more later. Too lazy right now.
