Wu Dang - Day1

Okay. Today was the only day that Ernest didn't wake me up this time and actual in fact i wake him up. yea~
The reason behind it was because.. i did not sleep throughout the night so that i can sleep during the torturing ride from campus to Wu Dang.
If my mum knows about it.. she will sure nag till my ears drop off.

After all the necessary are prepared, it time to head over to the meeting point to meet up with the rest of the ECE people and both lecturers.

Ride to Wu Dang begins, as well as the feeling of losing your lower body away to numbness.
My plan of sleeping during the ride was a successful one, only wake up for short toilet breaks.

The 6-7 hours of hell in the cramp seat bus, was finally over & the heavenly meal time ascend.
Everyone was famishing, we all always like those hungry ghost every meal time..

The first bowl of rice..
Chiong ar!!

Cristopher digging the rice happily.
* second bowl *
hahax.

The third bowl.
Normally to our third bowl of rice most have already going full tank.
It has some how become a standard..

End of meal time.
even if some of the dishes are not nice to eat..
we still manage to clear them all~

Due to the rain, there's a change of plan.
We will be visiting the other part of Wu Dang instead of going up to the peak.

We hang around at the ticketing area for further instruction and some of us took some toilet break.

The toilet at the ticketing area.
The specific smell that came out of the area clearly indicate itself..

Speaking of toilets..
there are some Legend ones that we came across..
The toilet that we had at the hotel restaurant during lunch time..
the ground is wet, a mixture of pee and pee, it's dark
and at any corner of the toilet you can just relive yourself even though there " peeing stand "
don't really know what is it called.

After we got our ticket, we took the bus up to the first destination, duration of the ride was 50 mins.
In that 50 mins, i feel that i'm in those kind of racing car games such as InitialD, the road was curvy, like Qiu Ming Shan in InitialD, the speed of the bus was fast and the ride is really quite fun.

The first destination :
The Prince Temple.

Group Shot!!
we move furthe in till we saw long stretch of red walls..
it remind me of some camera advertisment or so..
hmm.. deja vu maybe?

Rush to get my outershell.

Next, we proceed to Purple Heaven Palace.

Man best friend.
and food as well...

Don't understand why some people like to eat dog meat..
since it is human best friend..
so eating it is like eating your own friends.

After a 40 mins ride back to the ticketing area..
we head back to the hotel restarunt to have dinner.

One of the dishes.
Cucumber Cold Plate.

Clearing up the food like always.
Eat till stomach going to burst!!
Ben look like he going to deliver a child..

Took a pic with our tourguide.
he a newbie in this tourism industry
freshly graduated
only got two years of experience.

he a nice guy really..
very different from most of those China man from road side..
he do provide good service in taking care of us
this implies to other tourguide as well

The day ended on the bed of a hotel.
The room i'm sharing with are Ernest & Yu Lun (Ben).
Both of them took the bed from the room itself which is soft and comfy,
where mine is like... sleeping on the floor with jus cloth cover over it, a foldable metal bed.
Hope tomorrow will not get back ach..
