Day 5- LULIN

ITS Weekends! Time to head somewhere far out of campus...

This week we went to LULIN (绿林) for Water Rafting, see waterfall and trekking ...

Gathered @ 730am and ready to go~

On the 4 hour, very fast, bumpy and ever honking bus up the mountain... we can still do this as the sleepy spell just seems to be casted on everyone. The faster and the shaky it is the more i sleep.

all the green pastures and mountains

Lunch

After lunch before going for water rafting... got to buy these straw sandals (2 RMB) .

We had 'Sauna' on the Bus as the driver didnt on the air-con

Apparently all the straw sandals are FREE SIZE.. lol

On the raft... it wasn't as exciting as i thought it would be as it was meant to be Romantic.

Next up we went for waterfall sightseeing...

we didnt took this transport as walking ourselves would be a better experience

Cool hat!

These signs seen everywhere, remind all of us to Protect the Environment and Love our Scenery like what it is said on the recycle bins.

Finally we reached the BIG waterfall!

Its really rocky.

Foaming spotted and it seems to be really dirty

Algaes growing all over the rocks... Its part of the ecosystem!

Climbing back to the bus

Back to the same place for our dinner.. that plate of Fatty meat in the middle is really loved by many.

After dinner climbing up the slope to our hotel...

climbing to our rooms at the 3rd lvl.. We've been climbing for the wholeee day!

Look at the Room we're gonna stay for 1 night.. Soft bed, TV, hairdryer, kettle that are missing in our hostel. Now i know how lucky are we to have all of this back home in Singapore.

After putting all our stuff in the hotel room.. we went for a stage performance at the bottom of the hill. Interesting enough the Locals interact alot with the actors on the stage. The show is really interesting. However... due to the long day we had my eyes cant stay open!!

Ending the show with this... we're surrounding the fire and dancing.

We're forever prepared for camera!

MDE devision in CHINA! =D

Reflection:

Mother nature needs to have some attention. We took her for granted and now we need to start preserving. Everyone should do their part.

Its really nice to stay in a hotel after a few days of stay in the campus hostel. We realise how lucky we were in Singapore with our televisions, washing machine, comfortable beds which sometimes we took granted for. In the hostel we had to wash our own laundry, no SCV channels to watch and we have to clean our own room. Thats the life of us overseas; living independently...
