my vacation
Back from China for a week now..
But my mind is still in China
this trip to china really let me realise and treasure a lot of things
previously that i went back, i dun even know who are my cousins etc
this time, i am older now, they also grew too, i can remember them--names, relationship to me
in my hometown, they dun talk Chinese, they speak Hokkien which they call-- 'min nan yu'
they can also speak chinese ok?
China really change a lot, now i realise that i learn CSE hasn't been a waste
travelling time to the place we are staying including the air travel-- 7 hours plus
Food there is ok, still acceptable but there are a little spicy food there--once i ate their curry chicken, their curry is sweet, taste very weird.. ate a lot of food there which i never tried before
below are some examples that i ate, some are really disgusting, are you ready to see it(wrote in white) beef, mutton,pigeon, rabbits, jellyfish-- some is i really duno after i ate it.
pardon me.. :P they taste nice, you dun even know what you are eating after they tell you..
but if you were to go to somebody's house to eat, they cook really nice food.. their rice, vegetables, meat and eggs all taste different cos they either plant it themselves or they never put anything preservatives, 药物。
mountains there are cut down to build houses and roads.. mind you, their houses are a lot nicer and better than singapore's condominium..
air quality still ok there, but can smell the petrol of the cars. noisy too..
the river in front of where we stayed dry up because (this is what i heard) they going to destroy a bridge that is old and scared may pollute the river's quality.. hope that it is true.
and i am 20 years old there in the lunar calender, my lunar birthday is 18/9.. haha
i looked so immature there, as china people there look very mature in looks or thinking.. my cousin, 22, has his own car and drive us around.
they smoke a lot, can't stand the smell there, and if you are a guy who reach a certain age, they offer you cigarettes and when you meet people like elders,for a guy, you have to offer them cigarettes too as a form of respect, have to buy..
China people are generous in terms of treating you to dinner or gave you red packets or gave you presents..
i also went up to the mountains where my father's hometown is, the air there is fresh, nice view. can see swallows there.. there are still lot of ppl living at the mountains.. the water there is cold like 10 degree. they say the water from the mountains are good..
there are a lot of temples there too, have to pray if you visit..
about the toilets--public toilets including shopping centres, anywhere besides people's house have no doors and you have to squat
the pace there are slow unlike singapore.. all these mentioned above is when i go to a small town in quanzhou..
now is fujian, one of the largest cities--xiamen
the whole place look like orchard road.. branded shops like (i think there is) gucci,espirit,cartier, addidas, nike etc there.. there also got KFC and McDonalds' there too, but their food are different to suit the taste of the chinese.. the things there are more expensive..
people there speak chinese-- they dun answer you if you speak hokkien..
buildings that are almost of condominiums.. roads there are clean, there are trees all around, like you are living in Singapore there.. a lot of 'ang mohs' there too.. cars dun often horn..
the beach there are quite clean.. and also very big.. the sea breeze very nice..
went to amusement park there.. for the first time, i took a ride for the pirate ship. i very scared, didn't know it swinged very high.. maybe you all duno, i am scared of heights, dun dare take out the clothes to dry after hanging them on the bamboo stick.
i dun think i am gg to try to go amusment park again or universal studios to play the rides there..
fun there too, i think that 10 days in china is really too short.. next time i will want to go there during their holidays that when they play all day haha..
PS (their holidays are different from ours and they are having exams now, after exams they have 2 months plus of holidays, so good.. )
i am gg to miss my relatives a lot, and i am gg to miss china..
