Day 6- 30/08/08

WHEE! Had so much fun today, the end result is I'm TIRED! really am! Let me take you through of what i have done today! :D

Woke up early today, headed to one of the canteens and had breakfast! :D Drank Soya Bean and had a mantou. There is something unique about the mantou here. The one we have it here is the original kind, the starting taste is bitter one and after a while you would be immune to the taste. Unlike Singapore's one whereby there is like so many different flavour for example chocolate and many more. Not only that the mantou size is huge, SERIOUSLY! It's too big for me to finish one! Want to try more food at the canteen for breakfast! XD

Soya Bean + Mantou = Breakfast

After which headed to the bus where by our city tour starts! :D

In the bus!



Our Tour Guide for the day! :D



This is the cap given to us. Purpose its for identification!
This cap is waterproof too! ;D

First stop headed to Hubei Provincial Museum! Whereby we saw alot of artefacts of the past, which dynasty uses what. How does a coffin looks like, having an accompanying coffin for the Emperor and so on. How do their weapons look like, their utensils, suitcases, musical instruments and many many more. It was an interesting opportunity as it really opens up China's History just right before your eyes. Not only that, all of the artefacts, bones of horses, coffins are REAL!






Team A!



This chart here is extremely interesting!
It shows you all the people buried in the accompanying coffin.
Their full name, age, weight, height and many more details!



Arent the bells interesting!
This is a gift between 2 states.
It is really huge! It's bigger than me!



Soldier!
Us at the lobby!
Here is the place where we took many photos!
Trust me on that! :D

This are one of the few museums that allowed you to take photos of pratically nothing. However the rule is no flash! Anyway headed to Shou Yi Garden Snack Street for lunch! Tried all sorts of food including deer meat on a stick just like a satay! I should say we all have big appetites! :D


The place is rather big! Not only that its crowded!
Hard to find seats.


Before that we have to purchas a card with value inside.
They don't accept cash.



Doesnt it look yummy! :D

Gosh. I bought about 600g of some biscuit.
Its rather salty but yummy! :D

Food!

Headed to Huang He Luo after lunch. It was walking distance from the snack street! This place its 6 storey high! However one storey its like 2 storey or something! IMAGINE THE HEIGHT! :D It was seriously a beautiful place! :D

Interesting Fact: This tree is seriously old!

Interesting Fact 2: Can you see something scribbled on the wall?

Guess who wrote the poem!

IDK :D
However once LI BAI read this poem, he feels that he couldnt write any more poems.
As he thinks this poem is very beautiful!
Thus he stop writing after that.
