14 days and counting

it's 2 more weeks till i get back. its a race against time and patience. meanwhile common test papers are being marked and anxiety is everywhere.

everyone is very tired from climbing wu dang (except for the lot who took the cable car up). from my point of view, wu dang was just good excercise and good views, but very poor experience. the tourists are like all other chinese people, and the abbots are even more like the worst of the people.

this may seem as unfair remarks, but the people there just disgusts me. when i got there, no kung fu. no sword fights. no actors. no condor heores. even the hisotrical stuff isn't there. they tried so hard to commercialize the place, even the abbots have name tags.

apart from all these neative remarks, the scenary there is extremely spectacular. the misty part of the mountains were so foggy, you can't see beyond 30 feet, and the air is so cool and refreshing. when we got to the golden peak, the view there was a knock out. the clouds just cover the mountains, with little bits of peaks and green poking over the top.

nothing less from the most ancient place.

and just for laughs...........
