ToMCaT’s Area

The third day, 26th August, 2008, Monday.
Well, the third day did not have much place to go to. Therefore, we wake up later than the previous days. Around 9pm, all of us meet at the lobby of the hotel, and have our breakfast together.

What was our breakfast?
It was 2 donuts, and 2 hot dogs… =D

Our breakfast for the third day

It was only a normal breakfast, and the hot dogs were salty. =.=ll
Anyway, my brother and cousin bought a few sets of Mc. Donald breakfast while waiting for our tour guard to our hotel. My brother said that it’s cheap. But I have no idea how much was it.

After breakfast, we went to “Lotus Flower Mountain Park” (direct translation) or “Lian Hua Shan Gong Yuan” (莲花山公园). I don’t remember whether the name of the mountain is correct or not. But I think it’s correct… =.=ll

We didn’t climb up to the mountain since the time was limited. Therefore, we continue our journet to Window Of The World. When we were on our way to the bus, I saw a police bike nearby. XD

Lol… Sounds like never see a police bike before… =.=ll

The police bike in Shen Zhen (深圳)

Next destination, Window of the World (世界之窗). Of course, we had our lunch before we go into Window of the World.

Window of the World
(世界之窗)

One of the view at the entrance

Within this place, almost every scenery or place that is popular around the world is minimize. Therefore, you’re able to see a lot of beautiful buildings inside. =D

The very first thing that we did inside was, watch the 4D movie. Hmmm… I would say the 4D movie in Genting is much more interesting and fun. =D

It’s me, sitting in the movie theater and self photo shooting… =.=ll

Ok, after that, our tour guard suggested that using the tour train would be able see 70% of the place in the Window of the World, and save our time as well. Therefore, each of us paid RMB20 again for the train to bring us all around the Window of the World.

Pyramid of Egypt
(The pyramid is behind there)

Kenya’s “Wild Zoo”

Eiffel Tower

Ok, starting from here, I can’t remember the name of the buildings. And, I’m lazy to search for the name in the internet.

I remember that this stone is always appear in Diablo. It’s called the Stonehenge if I’m not wrong.

After traveling all around the place, we climb up to the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the scenery up there… =D

The garden is cool… =D

Wow… High building up there…

After that, it was around 5pm something already. Therefore, we went for ice-skating and ice sculptures, while waiting for a night show at 7.30pm… =D
Sorry, I didn’t take any photo with my phone camera in ice sculpture place. So, no photo about that again… XD

Ice-skating
(Only RMB20 each person)

After the show, it’s night time already. So I took this before we go back to the bus… =D

After dinner, what else? We went back to our hotel and continue street shopping… =D
Again, we shop until 11am something, back to hotel at 12am something and sleep at 1am something.

Ok, that’s the end of the third day.
To be continue on the fourth day. =D

The second day, 24th August, 2008, Sunday.
We wake up at 7am. Around 7.45am, all of us meet at the lobby of the hotel, and had our breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel. Half hour later, we started our first visit to “Shi Jing Shan” (石景山).

At “Shi Jing Shan”, cable car is needed to go up of the mountain. Guess what kind of cable car it is? It’s something like this… =D

The Cable Cars

It’s fun, but horrible. It has 2 person seats, and no door. Interestingly, your leg is hanging up there… XD
The cable car takes few minutes to the upper of the mountain. On the way to the upper mountain there, I took some photos around me. Lol… (sounds so wrong)

One of the view from the cable car

Of course, something interesting. The photo below is the road of the “Roller Coaster”… XD

The road of the “Roller Coaster”

After the cable car, everyone started to take out their camera and shoot. Shoot what? Of course, the scenery. The view from the upper part of the mountain is beautiful. And here, I took some photos from there. =D

Another view from the upper part of the mountain

After photo shooting, nothing much you can do there. Therefore, we choose to leave the mountain. There are 2 ways to go down the mountain. You can either choose the cable car, or the “Roller Coaster”. Guess what I choose? I tried the “Roller Coaster”… XD
Anyway, it’s not the actual “Roller Coaster”. In Chinese, it is called “Chong Feng Che” (冲锋车). Well, it was fun actually… Try that if you’re given the chance to do so… =D

Next destination, the symbol of Zhu Hai (珠海) city, called “珠海渔女”. (direct translation will be Zhu Hai Mermaid. Lol… Sounds so wrong) =.=ll

The symbol of Zhu Hai, “Zhu Hai Yu Nv”
(Yu Nv = Mermaid)

The closer view of Zhu Hai’s symbol

After that, we went up to “Qing Ren Lu” (情人路). It’s a road that is very popular in Zhu Hai. Next, “Yun Jin Bu Yi” (云锦布依) in Zhong Shan (中山). It’s a place where you can buy tea, and know their original culture of “Bu Yi Zu” (布依族). Anyway, I didn’t take any photo there because everything seems normal… Lol…

After that, we went to have our lunch. No photo was taken there since everyone is sharing the same table. I feel so “pai seh” to take the photo also… Lol…
And here, our tour guard gave us each person one “BoLuo” (菠萝). It’s sweet and yummy… =D

Bo Luo (菠萝)

After lunch, we continue our journey to Shen Zhen (深圳). Next destination will be “Xiao Ren Guo” (小人国).

The entrance

Inside there, you are able to see a lot of things. It’s huge, and impossible to walk all around the place. Therefore, my tour guard suggested to use the tour train, which is cost RMB20 each person. Below here are the photos that I took in the train. Lol…

On the way to visit around… =D

The Great Wall
(万里长城)

The Great Wall
(万里长城)

Ok, I don’t know what are their name, because it’s impossible for me to remember all of them. Lol… And, not much photo I can post up here. Most of the photos are blur since the train was moving.

After traveling around, we were told that there has a live show. Therefore, we watch that show as well.

A show that is playing around with the horse
(Lol… Sounds so wrong)

After that, we went to watch another show again, that is about their culture and costume. Wow… Their costumes are beautiful. Too bad that no camera is allowed inside.

Next, we went to have our dinner first. After dinner, we came back again and continue another show again. Haha… This show was wonderful. Since it’s night already, my phone camera couldn’t take a better photo at night. Therefore, no photo again… =.=ll

And here, their special festival, called “Bo Shui” Festival (波水节). If you join the event, you are able to play around with water. Lol…

“Bo Shui” Festival
(波水节)

Ok, after that show, we headed to our hotel called Li Garden Hotel. Lol… It’s the same name with the restaurant in Hock Lee there… =.=ll

Anyway, the hotel is good, a better place compare to the hotel at the first night. =.=ll
After check in, it’s about 10pm something already. Since that day was Sunday, most of the shop in Shen Zhen will open until 12am. Therefore, we went to street shopping. Sorry, I couldn’t remember what is the name of the street already.

Well, we saw a Mc. Donald there. My brother bought a “pig” burger. He said it’s yummy, but I didn’t try it because I feel full that time. We walk and shop around there until 12am something. After that, we went back to hotel and take our shower. At the end, we slept at 2am something. Lol…

Ok, that’s all for the second day of the trip.
To be continue on the third day tomorrow. =D

Ok, this will be a long post. Well, as mentioned in the previous post, I went to China for traveling from 23rd to 30th of August. I followed a tour group, which is only 15 people, including our tour guard from Kuching.

Yup, this is consider as a small group. Luckily, no old people and kids in our group. All of us are active and young. =D

The first day, 23rd of August, Saturday.
Hmmm… we did not have any activity for the first day. Our flight from Kuching to Macau takes 4 hours, and we arrived to Macau at 7pm something.

Going to Gate 9 in KIA

After come out from the airport, we went to “Zhu Hai” (珠海) directly by bus.

On the way to Zhu Hai from Macau, we need to go through the immigration. The only thing that I’m not happy with is, the workers who check your passport in the immigration. The workers show a bad face, looks like I owe them money. Also, they throw your passport to you, not give it to you. Dam it!!!

Never mind, it passes already. Lol…
After go through the immigration, we will have our first dinner in our trip. Too bad, I did not manage to get the photo of every food we had.

Next, we went to our first hotel in our trip, called Golden Phoenix Hotel. The hotel is still acceptable, but the bed and the air-con were horrible. >.>ll
How horrible is it? The bed was very hard, just like sleeping on the floor, and the air-con was not cold at all, although I had switch the air-con to the coldest. =.=

Anyway, I found out this. I looked out the window in our hotel room. Wow… It’s the pedestrian bridge. It’s cool, isn’t it? =D

The view of pedestrian bridge from the hotel

After check in at 9pm something, we went out from the hotel and walk around nearby since it was still early. There is a saloon beside our hotel. Guess what? They were having renovation promotion, where you can wash you hair there with RMB8, which is only about RM4. Wow… isn’t it cheap? XD
So, my sister went to wash her hair there.

After that, we went back to our hotel and sleep. Too bad, I did not sleep well the whole first night since the air-con and the bed were terrible. =.=ll

Ok, that’s all for the first day of the trip. =D
To be continue…
