Whoo... i finally have internet access... ^^
itz like finally after:
plane from singapore to xiamen, (0855 to 1300)
plane from xiamen to tianjin, (1245 to 1630)
train from tianjin to harbin. (0034 to 1445)
the train ride fron tianjin to harbin is a killer...
when i was on the plane i thought nothing could be worst den getting stuck on the sit for 8hours BUT.. i was wrong... the 14hours train ride was pure boring... since we reached tianjin at 4.30pm, and our train is at 12.34am the next day, our "tour guide" decided to bring us around tianjin's shopping area. We deposited our luggage at the rain station and went of shopping... all i can say is that the security there is very poor. Though security officers could been seen everywhere, poeple just see them as transparent. and i feel tt itz kindda weird that itz the security members themselves that are the bully around. they will call random ppl for their identification card (IC) for NO PARTICULAR REASON!!!
Anyway.. we shop till 10+pm and started to walk back to the train station. the train station is packed with ppl resting and lying around. even though the train station was indoor and air condition, you can easily spot ppl smoking, spitting and littering. we waited till 11 plus before going to collect our luggage from the lockers and proceeded to the entrance. queue started to formed in all direction when time gets closer and closer to the entry time... our queues was useless as once the gate open, everyone started to rush in and get onto the train as it is only gonna stop for mere 8 mins.
luckily for us, the train started to move only after our last person got on the train. we squeeze our luggage into the rooms and tried to get some rest. Train officers come over for inspection very frequently causing many of us to not able to sleep "peacefully". whenever given the chance, we will get off the train to buy stuff to stuff our mouth during the journey.. During noon time, we got so bored we started to play all sort of game and we ended "gambling". not with money but with food. so eventually, i won 2cup noodles, 1 dessert, 1 hot drink, 1 sussage, 1 xiao long pau, 1 jiao zi and lost 1 cup noodle and 1 bubble tea.
Not long after, we reach harbin, the ice city... it isnt as icey as we expected and the crowd there are rough... they will just pull u aside and confuse u with the words tht are coming out of their mouth like a machine gun. an TA-DA... i am where i am now.. in my room typing this blog...
itz suchh a long time since i type such long post.. but i will still continue to keep all of u updated... i am currently trying to upload the video on facebook but photos are already available on my photo album in facebook... ^^
Good night everyone... ^^
YAWN....
