Back from the Trip

Yes, I'm back from the trip. Haha, it was a fun trip overall =p Was taking class most of the time in Beijing.

30/05/09

But still, we did managed to visit Forbidden City (Gu Gong). Woohoo! It was interesting but the the walking was a real killer. Haha, the place is so huge that fatigue makes the trip a dull one. But it was a nice place to visit nonetheless. Haha, I was like a tourist, with my camera in hand and snapping many shots of the architecture and whatever that was in sight. Just thinking about how they managed to build structures like these during that dynasty really amazes me.

06/06/09

I went to HongKong Disneyland! Elibird joined us too. Haha... It was a great day, haven't felt so happy and relaxed in a long time. I guess that's because I managed to put dancing out of my head that day. But we saw quite a number of dances in disneyland. Haha, we catched the High School Musical parade there. Elibird and I were standing under the hot sun (O.o)" They sang songs from HSM1 and HSM2 I think. So funny, it was an Asian Troy! "Lei Ho Ma?!" No Zac Efron, the spastic guy, as described by Laoma =p Hahaha...

We watched a 3D musical show too. We were all looking kinda silly with those 3D glasses on. The show really evoked all five of my senses. There was this part where Donald smashed a pumpkin and there was really a nice scent in the air, like blueberry. And when those enchanted broom servants splashed water, we really got wet. I wonder where the water came from. The lighting and 3D illusions was good. Haha, an unforgetable experience.

The water parade was.... like what Elibird described, literally cool. I'm glad my camera survived the water onslaught. Haha, I got shot directly in the face by a spray gun from one of the big floats. It was erm... refreshing -.-"

We caught a short musical "Golden Mickeys" too. It was great, though I think it could still be better. Haha, Mickey Minnie speaking cantonese! Now that's something new for me. Some of the other disney characters spoke cantonese too, but they switched back to English when they break down into their songs, haha. I found the rope acrobatics section by Tarzan and two other monkey-dressed performers most stunning. Tarzan's muscles were insanely toned and detailed. They were spinning really fast on the rope. AMAZING. Talk about abdominal control... Oh and I guess they could hold their lunch very well too. They didn't puke in front of the audience. Hahaha...

We watched fireworks at the end of the day at 8pm. Reminds me of NDP and New Year. What was nice was it was accompanied by disney music. Nice fireworks choreography. The fireworks operator has great musicality =p

It was a pretty long day. A memorable one for me =) I'll try to upload the pictures I took next time.

Oh, and I hope Elibird gets into APA. It has quite a good environment I think.

It's not where you are that matters. It's who you are and what you do that defines you.
