It feels like its been quite awhile since I last blogged. I feel lost, like detached to my blog. And I don’t know what to blog.
I’m glad some of you still visits anna.my! Because I’m back to my daily updates, as often as possible, as much as I can manage! :D so visit me whenever you’re on alright!
That aside, I’m gonna write about my much procrastinated China trip earlier this month! Hehe, finally, before June comes to an end.
This was the mode of transport we took when we were at the airport. Its something like our MRT train but this particular type of train travels via magnetic forces.. LOOK AT THE SPEED.
Its called the “MagLev” Train, so basically it travels by magnetic levitation and thus there is hardly any friction between the train and the rails, thus the SPEED. :D Thats what I understand about it, correct me if I’m wrong!
Presenting to you.. The Shanghai World Expo 2010 Mascot! Its called 海宝!! Such a cute name right, in direct translation, it means “Water Baby”. I totally adore it, though I agree with my brothers there’s absolutely nothing very captivating about this blue thing over here.
But anyway throughout my 9 days over @ China, I see this mascot EVERYWHERE I go, no joke, everywhere. I’d still crazily and excitedly tell someone about it but my younger brother never fails to dim me shut and ask me to stop rambling about this stupid-blue-thing. HAHA. He hates it to the core.
This was first on our itinerary immediately after lunch. I think we were at Hang Zhou. We took a little cruise along the 西湖 “west lake”, I think. Apparently I learnt that it was an artifical man-made lake that was dug long long ago..
Afterwhich, it was to this pagoda-like building. The middle photo is the name of this pagoda.
The middle pictures at both sides are the sculptures found inside. They are really impressively nicely carved, to the finest details.
Afterwhich we also visited this 西湖。新天地 place. A really westernised tourist attraction. And why do I say westernized? They have Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, Costa Coffee, etc.
Its situated along a lake..a PLUS point :D
From what I can remember, thats our day one. Super tiring one because it was a mid-night flight, meaning when we reached, it was time to travel around! Its those times that I really loved going back to the hotel, drop dead on bed and slack for abit before bathing and sleeping early. BLISSS♥♥♥.
If you needed a reason to love yourself.. I’d give you aplenty to! :D
& I hope this brightens up your day. Because all these sweet little photos did brighten up mine! ♥
(I’d continue with the rest of the days! Now that I’ve gotten the full collection of photos, I pretty much don’t know where to start..because, I simply have toooo many photos!)
