Woke up at 8am today for breakfast at 9am... After that went to bus station to take bus to the city!
Reached the bus station about 10.30am, then reached Xi An City close to 12pm... Saw the traffic situation up close lah... I bet I dun dare to drive in China sial... Friggin dangerous! Bus also overtake through cycling lane sial!
After reaching there, we walked a pretty long distance to take bus to the Bell tower of Xi An... The streets alot of ppl lah, damn scared that will tio pickpocket... :p
We went to the Islamic street to walk... Quite okay lah... Abit messy though... Went to eat "Niu Rou Pao Muo", which is beef vemicillin with bread bits... Quite nice lah, but a little bit salty... Had beef and mutton "satay" and fried fish too... Pretty nice also... And we drank beer in a Halal restaurant! lol... Damn ironic lah!
We had lunch till 3pm then went out to walk through the street market lor... Alot of sovenoirs to buy lah... But abit not gian... Dunno why... Then after walking awhile saw some "jade" stamps lor... Should be fake jade lah... Actually wanted to make one for all my family members... But forget how to write their chinese name... So in the end only made one for myself... Paid 40 yuen(8 SGD) for it... After some bargaining, of course! From 75 to 40! :p
After that wait for the shop keeper to carve finish about 5 stamps, then 5.45pm le... After that went to mac to wait for others to gather... but in the end not all gather lah, so went to a shopping mall to meet them... Met Triton they all at the shopping mall main door, then Tri showed me a Nike pullover he bought... Original de lah!
See liao I abit gian, so went inside to see see also... Wanted to buy the same pullover as Tri's, but in diff colour lah... But dun have my size, so bought another jacket for 90SGD... Quite nice, if tmr got time then take photo post...
After that went back to mac and eat... The menu all in chinese lah, abit weird... :p Then I super xia suay lah... cuz the burger I ordered need to prepare lah... So went back to sit... Then got one Mac crew come ask me wat I ordered, and I totally forgot how to say the name ofthe burger in chinese.. lol... Oh, one more thing weird about the fast food restaurants here is that they dun serve chilli packs... >.<
After eating went to find our SG lecturer-in-charge, Mr Cheung, cuz he leaving for Sg on Sunday... Took lots of pictures on the way, cuz the streets look quite magnificent in the night... I no camera lah, so keep jumping into ppl's photo... :x
After meeting Mr Cheung and taking plenty of photos, our rented bus finally came and we set out back to Yan Liang, which is the district that I'm staying in...
Came back and washed my clothes lor... Then used com awhile and went to find Jun hao drink beer, each 600ml og TsingTao beer... Here quite cheap sia... 4 yuen for a bottle... which equates to less than 1SGD!
Then we sat at corridor smoke cigar and drink... LOL!
After that went back to room watch some vids in my iPod and then now in Raynold's room using his laptop... Tri they all playing DOTA on lan... lol... You can tell how slack out hotel life is lah... :)
