This was at our hotel.. =) Money money~

(10th Dec + 11th Dec)

Lets see now.. Since i don't have pictures to help me recall i have to base everything i write here on memory.. Hmmm..Actually not much memory work is required... ZzZ?? Morning we went to breakfast, check out of hotel, and started travelling towards a shrine. o.O Fujian really is alot of shrine and alot of old monumens ( I don't know how to spell... its suppose to mean old places.. Something like that. Haha). We then went to another old fotress type of building. Don't have picture... Ugh will upload this one later when i get the camera. The building is circular in shape for defense. Built of couse many many years ago to protect from aggressors. Inside it was like houses. Haha.. You guys need to see it before you can imagine it la. So we tour around the whole place... the tour guide talks, introduces.. obviously i wasn't listening much. Maybe my parents were but i certainly wasn't.

Had lunch there at their countryside restaurant which provided really some nice food. I guess the countryside is always better in a sense than the city. =( This applies to Japan too!! Haha. The main specialty in Xia men i think would be the Goose meat. Yes.. GOOSE. Not duck or deer. Goooooooose. Tastes abit like duck and abit like chicken mixed together. Though there weren't any pre-packed goose meat tibits that we could buy. We also went to many mansions, which were housed by RICH people in China long ago.... Observe how they import expensive tiles to decorate their houses and realise how rich they were.. Wow?

Started travelling again and reached another shrine.. ugh. Then we went to have dinner and check in again. After that again shopping. Haha.. We basically repeated the whole process for 3 days. The 4th day we didn't went shopping but went to massage! Haha. Will discribe later on..

(12th Dec)

Really nothing much left to write. You will see below that we went to shrines again? And went to visit memorials... =( This is starting to get boring.. I feel like banging my head on the wall. The shrine was suppose to comemorate some Thailand guy which contributed dunno how. There were carvings on the walls that discribed his lifestory, like what he did, what he built etc etc. If you were me you would really wander off to someother places and start your own tour. haha.

After that we visited the " Hu Li Shan Bao Tai " Supposingly was the place which holds the largest cannon in the war in China many years ago... China has too long a history to even start writing.. We watched some show and saw wax figures of court officials blah blah... -.-

Then at night, we went on a cruise~ Not quite a cruise but more like a ship tour, which went around the sea there. The night was cooo---ld. And there was also a puppet show! Nothing much happened that night and we went backt o the hotel, checked in and tadah, went for massage. The place was nice. There was sauna, steam bath and more. Of course me and my dad went to steam bath for quite some time.. Really difficult to breath inside cause its all hot water vapour... My glasses went blur immediately when i went in.. =( Haha. So after that we went to shop awhile before taking cab back to the hotel. Oh yea the cab fare was REALLY cheap. How to say... Normally a trip from woodlands to orchard would cost you around 10-20dollars in singapore? Somewhere there. Since the exchange rate for Yuan was 1 is to 5, so thats around 50 to 100 Yuan. But in China the fare is like only 40 yuan.. So its only 8 dollars. Wow. Cheap! I wonder how they are going to even earn a living considering there are so many taxi drivers.. Beats me..
