Diversitia

Untung di hari ke-3,kita tak perlu bangun pagi2.haha.
Kita dijadwalkan untuk berkumpul di lobi dengan barang2 sudah dikemas jam 10:30.
Ternyata bus dan tour guidenya bakal datang jam 12:00,maka kita diberi waktu bebas sampai saat itu.
Karena kemarin kurang puas di West Street itu,maka beberapa dari kami pergi kesana lagi.
Boleh dikatakan untung saya pergi,karena ternyata ada danau disana,yang kemarin malam tidak kelihatan karena sudah gelap.

Juga banyak toko2 yang berbentuk tradisional

Sudah saatnya kami kembali ke hotel untuk naik bus menuju ke tempat wisata berikutnya.
Ini dijepret di sela2 waktu menunggu bus.

Keluarga bahagia Jinan

Makan siang dulu nih.
Humm,lagi2 makanannya kurang enak.Dari 9 macam sayur,7 di antaranya merupakan sayur murni,tanpa ada daging2.Rasanya pun...Sangatlah biasa2 saja.
Tapi apa boleh buat,memang ikut tour itu begitu.haha
Dari tempat makan itu kita bisa melihat Gunung Bulan yg kemarin sudah dilihat,dan inilah si Feber yg super kreatif.

Di bus juga foto2 trus dan keluarlah ini

Sekarang kita menuju ke suatu tempat yg paling terkenal,disana kita bisa melihat bukit2 yang bentuknya menyerupai seekor gajah,setelah itu kami akan lomba mendayung perahu naga.
Karena katanya kita bakal basah,maka saya tidak membawa kamera.
Sangatlah disayangkan karena view-nya sangatlah bagus!!!!!!

Saat lomba perahu naga,grup kami menjadi juara ke 2.
Padahal semua masih semangat2nya,sayang lintasannya terlalu pendek.haha

Sehabis itu,kami dipersilahkan sembahyang di kuil kecil ajaran Tao,dilanjutkan dengan masuk ke gua yang ada stalaktit..
Yang disini,sedikit banyak ada bedanya dengan yg kemarin..
Yg disini lebih kecil ukurannya.
Nah,karena bentuknya runcing2 kayak segitiga terbalik,sewaktu dilihat pantulannya di air,pemandangannya seperti di tempat bersalju dengan banyak pohon cemara.
Bisakah anda membayangkannya?
Katanya itu pemandangan yg di pantulan air itu lebih bagus daripada pemandangan aslinya (yang di atas).

Selesai berkeliling,kami pun menikmati makan malam. (sayurnya lebih kurang sama dengan yang sebelum2nya).Yang membedakan adalah kali ini kami mendapat dessert berupa talas yang digoreng dan dilapisi oleh gula,ini jg merupakan salah satu makanan khas daerah situ.
Di Guangzhou jg bisa makan seh.

Foto bersama untuk yang terakhir kalinya,dan kita pun memulai perjalanan pulang ke Guangzhou.

Di dalem bus,seperti saat dalam perjalanan menuju Guilin,kita tetap gosip dan ngelawak dan cerita2.
Asiknya tak terkatakan lagi!
Kami sampai di Guangzhou jam 3 subuh dan langsung balik ke asrama.
Karena telah melewati jam malam,harusnya kita itu dicatat namanya.
Tapi karena melihat muka2 capek ga karuan kita dan membawa barang2 yg banyak,maka kami dipersilahkan masuk ke asrama tanpa dicatat.haha.
That's the end of the WONDERFUL trip~~~

Sangatlah berharap akan ada perjalanan2 yg seperti begini di hari2 ke depannya.

Thanks buat FAMIG,buat Edgar en Vitri yg telah menjadi koordinatornya.

Nah, kali ini pakai bahasa Indo aja deh ya..
Harus dibilang, trip kali ini..Benar2 sangat memuaskan!
Selain main2nya yg sangat asik, yg terpenting adalah rasa kebersamaanny!
Perjalanan kali ini benar2 membuat kita menjadi lebih dekat satu sama lain.
It's the perfect way to spend the holiday!

Dimulai dari hari keberangkatan..
Semua peserta tour disuruh untuk berkumpul di Tiyu Zhongxin jam 8 malam untuk menunggu bus yang akan menjemput kita..
Saya dan beberapa teman telat karena harus menghadiri acara masak2 oleh guru2 di sekolah..
Sesampainya kita disana,ternyata sudah hampir semua temen2 yang ikutan sudah menunggu disana.Bolak balik ke toilet supaya tak kebelet pas di bus nanti.hehe

Dimulailah perjalanan menuju Guilin..
Karena belum jam tidur dan semuanya baru mulai semangat2nya..
Dimulailah acara ngobrol dan gosip dan lawak.haha
Saya tertawa tak henti~begitu pula yang lain.
Big thanks buat Feber, Inke, Eric, Windi dan Mery yg selalu rame di dalem bus.wkaka
Lama perjalanan itu lebih kurang 9 jam, dan bus-nya berhenti setiap 1-2jam sekali untuk memberi kesempatan pada kami untuk ke toilet dan untuk meregangkan badan.

Kita sampai di kota YangShuo pada jam 6 pagi.
Semuanya dengan muka ngantuk dan capek,menyantap sarapan pagi yang sederhana (bubur, cakwe, air tahu dan mie Guilin).
Setelah itu kami diberi kesempatan untuk cuci muka dan gosok gigi.
Dilanjutkan dengan ke hotel untuk menaruh bagasi dan berganti baju.

Kami dibawa ke tempat wisata pertama yaitu Batu Perak （银子岩石）. Batu perak merupakan gua vulkanik yang terdiri dari 3 bagian: gua bawah, ruang tengah dan gua atas. Merupakan kumpulan stalaktit yang terbentuk dalam waktu yang panjang.

Berfoto dulu sebelum masuk ke gua.

Pemandangan di dalam gua sangat indah dengan stalaktit dan stalakmit.
Pas baru masuk,kami tak hentinya ber-wah wah-ria dan berfoto.
Yang paling bagus menurutku,adalah segerombolan batu dan dibawahnya terdapat kolam yg memantulkan gambar batu2 tersebut.
Sewaktu pertama kali saya melihatnya,saya pikir yang di bawah itu adalah bagian yang di dalam tanah.
Perlahan saya baru menyadari bahwa itu ternyata merupakan pantulan.WUAH!

Karena tidak membawa tripod,maka hasil foto rata2 kurang memuaskan karena buram. =X

Setelah lumayan lama berada di dalam gua,ku merasa mulai panas dan pengap dan lembab.
Saya sudah seperti mandi saja.Rambutku basah semua.
Ku pun cepat2 jalan ke depan untuk mencari jalan keluar.haha

Masih sempet jepret bunga di pinggir jalan..

Sudah waktunya makan siang!
Dari restoran ini kita juga bisa melihat Gunung Bulan（月亮山）.

Jujur ya,makanannya sih sangatlah tidak enak!Bukan cuma saya yg berpendapat bgitu.haha.
Sempat juga menjepret monyet yang dipakaikan pakaian Monkey King.Ekspresinya..sangatlah sedih.

Setelah makan siang,dilanjutkan ke taman yang ada pohon yg berumur 1000tahun.
Konon,jika kita memutari pohon itu kita akan hidup sampai 99 tahun.
Juga ada tempat untuk menyewa rakit,tapi yg disini itu harus dayung sendiri.

Capek dan panas,ku dan yang lainnya menikmati segar dan dinginnya air tebu.haha

Lalu,kami kembali ke hotel untuk berisitirahat.
Langsung cepat2 mandi! Karena paginya itu tidak dikasi kesempatan untuk mandi.haha
Seger!!!!!!!!
Jam 16.30,mulai lagi berangkat ke Dermaga Xinping （兴坪码头）untuk naik rakit dan melihat pemandangan sepanjang Sungai Lijiang.
Nah rakit yang ini tuh yg bermesin.haha.

1st pic:courtesy of Fandhi

Bagus yah pemandangannya??

Nah,setelah naik rakit,kami pun balik ke hotel untuk berganti pakaian.
Makan malam nih..
Hidangan yg paling terkenal itu 'Ikan Bir'.
Makan malam ini tidak termasuk dalam paket tur,jadi kita harus nambah 25kuai.
25kuai yang terpuas kurasa! Sayurnya 10macem.Semuanya enak banget~
Ikan bir-nya juga TOP!haha

Setelah selesai makan dan sudah kenyang,kami berjalan menuju ke West Street (西街)，disana itu kayak pasar malam dan banyak bar2 en tempat dugem.
Beli2 makanan en oleh2 disono.Ramenya minta ampun.
Kupikir temenku bakal bawa kamera jadinya ku tak bawa.Nyesal.haha
Nyampe hotel uda jam 1 gitu..
Semuanya udah capek banget.
Tapi masih aja sempet maen kartu.haha.
Ku baru maen 2 set aja udah gag tahan.
Sekali baring langsung tidur ga tau apa2 lagi.

Berakhirlah hari kedua yang penuh dengan tawa.
Secara hari pertama itu dihitung di bus.

To be continued~~~

Anyway,I think I'm not going to enjoy the trip as I wished,cause I've still got so many things to think for the JCF (Jinan CUlture Festival) that will be held on 17 May. Only bout 2 weeks left, and there are still tons of things to buy and to make.
Waduh!
However, 'Kita pasti bisa!!!'

Just imagine if I could take pics like these~WUIHHHH.haha

I've been in Bali for 4 days now.
Blogging in Ngurah Rai airport,waiting for the 11 p.m. plane to Jakarta,going to spend my Chinese New Year there..

Who's in this trip?
There's me and my family,and there's also my uncle and his family.

For the whole report,should wait for the next post lah..haha..
All I can say is this trip was completely fabulous!!!
Saw 2 GREAT sunset~
WUIHHHHHHH

I met 3 of my college friends accidentally in Semarang Medan,Jakarta's airport and Pasar Badung Bali.Crazy huh???

Labels: bali, hoLiday

Last year,my family decided that we're all going to the Beijing Olympics.But,later,my mom and my bro cancelled.So,it's only me,my dad and my uncle's family.

We stayed in my uncle's fren home for 2 nights,and moved to the hotel for the rest of our stays cause it's not too expensive.Apparently they offer low prices cause in the middle of the Olympics there were no spectators at all.Hotels were full only for the opening and closing ceremony.

Day 1
It was already 7 p.m when we arrived Beijing,so we only went out for dinner.Ate the famous Beijing roast duck.Hum,I don't think it's as delicious as people said.

Day 2
We went to the Summer Palace.It was vast!We spent almost 5hours to walk around and yet we haven't entered all the courtyards.

Continued by the Beijing Sport University.My dad considered to let my bro study here after he graduated high-school.ha?hahaha..At that time,there were lots of athletes practising there so we couldn't get in to certain gyms.

We had dinner in 王府井,it's a shopping district.Wuah,it was so crowded.
Cause of too much walking,my feet were overly tired and every step hurts!

Day 3
Got up at 8,had a bath and breakfast,then we headed to the Museum of Science and Technology.Not bad laaa..haha.

Dad really wanted to visit 北京大学 and 清华大学，but both of the uni were closed due to the Olympics,some sport competitions took place there.So,we went to 师范大学 and found out that it was also closed cause USA's team were practising and lived there.ckck,poor dad.

So we decided to go to 虹桥Pearl Market.At first I thought it would all be pearl and jewellery,but I was completely wrong!There's lot of other things such as electronics,shoes,clothes,bags,etc.The price they gave us was like crazy!We could actually bought the things for 1/4 from the price they told us.

Finished shopping,we headed to a restaurant to have dinner with the house owner.
After dinner,we went to the Capital Hotel and waited for my uncle and his family.They arrived at bout 10,then my cousin took us to this superb place where there was a small lake which was surrounded by awesome bars and restaurants.I didn't bring camera so you guys can only imagine it~wakaka

Day 4
In the morning,we left for the Forbidden City.It was grandiose~

We had lunch with my uncle's old friends,rest for a while and then out to watch the Athletics in Bird's Nest!!!

It took us bout 2hours to get there,with all the security check and long queue up.We kept taking pics although we were already late.haha.The Olmpic village was so huge~

Our seat was pretty good..The first 15minutes in the Bird's Nest,I couldn't stop oooohhh and aaahhhhh-ing cause it was so magnificent!Unimagineable!!I was astonished...There were over 90,000 spectators that night.OMG,what a number!The feeling was totally different from watching tv.haha.We also did the football yel-yel..where the spectators got up and wave their hands one after another.

There were lots of competition,such as 100m hurdles,400m hurdles,400m,1500m,triple jump,high jump,hammer throw and 10,000m!And also 5 medal ceremony.
The actual price of the ticket was 800yuan but we bought it from my uncle's friend so we had to add 20% of the price,but I think it's completely worth it!
A super-great experience!

Day 5
The Great Wall was the historic site we visited that day.
It took 2hours to get there by bus.
We climbed and climbed,wuiyoh it was so tiring cause of the steep slope.We only reached the 3rd post,while there is a saying,'不到长城非好汉'，which means a man could be a true man if only he reached the 8th post of the Great Wall.haha

See?There's no doubt why it's nominated one of the 7 Wonders of The World~

When we were back in the city,it was already dark and we had sangwo for dinner with my aunt's friends.

Day 6
The second and last competition we watched:Water Polo.
It took place in the 英东Natatorium.
3 matches:China vs Italy,China won
USA vs Australia,USA won
Hungaria vs Netherlands,Netherlands won
At the 3rd match,we sat in the middle of the Hungaria's supporters,so all we heard was,'Ria,Ria,Hungaria' and other yel-yel.It was very noisyyyyy,,but that's the spirit!

Later after dinner,we watched the Acrobatics show.Ok ok la..haha

Day 7
We went to the Temple of Heaven and Earth.

Had lunch with a fren of mine..

Went to 王府井 for the second time,cause the first time,the snack street was already closed when we finished shopping.
Wuohhhhhhh,,,they sell EVERYTHING!
By everything,I mean scorpions,seahorse,seastar,centipede,worms~uekkkkk...Even so,lots of tourists bought it cause they were curious~

Last stop,the famous TianAnMen Square!

Day 8
Bought some Olympic souvenirs..Back to Guangzhou.

Wonderful journeyy~~~~~

Sth else~~
The Olympic banners,flags,posters,shops were EVERYWHERE!
I like Beijing so much,I think it already meets the international standard.The city was perfectly clean and neat.The transportation was really cheap and convenient'''

We had 4 days holiday for the Labour's Day Holiday.
My mom came,so we went to HK,my cousin also came with us.

1st day (May 1th):
Travelled by train.Checked-in,met my relatives,ate in a Japanese resto,nice nice nice!After lunch,we went to their new home.It was so beautifully decorated!The price was shocking,3billion rupiah for such a small apartment.My gosh.
Went to the Central,shopping mall all around.haha.

After dinner,we strolled around our hotel which was so in the heart of the city,haha..shops everywhere..My mum still remembered where the Esprit Outlet store was,so we went there and shop like crazy.haha

2nd day (May 2nd)
DISNEYLAND!!!!!!
We woke up at 7a.m n saw the rain was pouring outside the window n we were like,'This is not happeningggggggggg...'
Haizzzz..We could still go there the day after,but it would be Saturday and it must be very crowded.So we made up our mind and set out.We went there by MTR.This last train which was specially made for Disneyland Resort was so Disney,with all the Mickey Mouse windows.haha.

The adventure began!

By that time,the park hasn't really opened yet.We waited for about 10minutes,and it opened,people were all rushing to the Space Mountain.haha

After that,we played the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters,which was sitting in a moving ride while shooting the bad creatures and Captain Zorg wif laser guns.
‘Autopia’came next.

It started to rain,we walked and surprised to find out that The Golden Mickeys show almost started,it was a lot earlier than the schedule,maybe cause the rain.We hurried in.
The show was unbelievably fantastic!The stage changed so fast,introducing Mulan,Tarzan,Beauty n The Beast,Little Mermaid (with real bubble bursted out),Toy Story,etc.

Then we took the journey on 'the happiest cruise that ever sailed' with the song 'It's a small world (after all)'

We continued to the Stitch Encounter,the Stitch was like alive cause it seemed like it could talk to us.Technology.haha

Then we went to the Fantasy Gardens,I took photo with Mickey~~hoho

Straight to the Theater in The Wild to watch Festival of The Lion King

An exquisite show!

Next,Tarzan's Treehouse

It's already 3.30 so it's time for the parade!

The parade ended,we went back again to the Fantasyland,

Went to the Mickey's Philhar Magic,which was a 3-d show.
It was funny and entertaining!With real water splash,blowing wind,and the smell of the cake.

Main Street USA which was full of shops of cute things!

Tired of walking,we took a tour of Disneyland aboard an excursion-style train.
Later we enjoyed the High School Musical performance.

Then,we watched the 3-d show and the Golden Mickey for the second time!haha
After that,'The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh',we only had to lined up for about 5minutes,cause we had gotten our Fastpass.Saved us a lot of time!
It's already dark,n some attractions were closed due to prepare the fireworks.We walked to the spot where it's best to watch it.
Wait,wait,wait,so many people were sitting in the floor.haha
8 p.m,'Disney in the Stars' began!
It was spectacular,stunning,breathtaking,so on n so forth.haha.I didn't get a good picture of it.
Nah,the slogan of Disneyland is,'Have a magical day!',and I can tell that I absolutely did!

Day 3
Met my friend that left school last year.haha.We ate breakfast,went to the Astronautics Museum(didn't go in.haha),rode ferry,did some window shopping of Gucci,Louis Vuitton,Hermes,Miu Miu...
We talked so much.haha.He had to go back home to get some sleep cause the day before he got the night shift and left work at 7.30 a.m.

Went shopping with mom,Esprit again!ckckck.COntinued by this mall named 'Element',which was full of famous brands.Hongkong is really a shopping paradise!

Had dinner with relatives.Followed by karaoke in my uncle's home.

Day 4
Had breakfast near hotel,went to supermarket to buy Cheezels n chocolates n this lemon tea which only sold in HK n Macao.hoho.
Took a cab to the railway station,while waiting,I took a look in the Duty Free store n saw the MINI Loacker Wafer,I haven't seen it anywhere else.Although it's a bit expensive,I quickly bought it.haha.

The end~~~what a long and postponed post.haha
