Day 11 - Dujiangyan + mount qingcheng

we went to dujiangyan today!! woke up so early.. =.=" so sleepy... planned to sleep on the bus but... why do the drivers(including our bus driver) have to honk and jerk their vehicles? so can't sleep (T^T)~

so we reached dujiangyan... walked around and cross the shaky bridges.. (headache~~~) because it's so shaky, i was having a lot of trouble crossing the bridge.. but you know what? the weather is getting warmer! :D so happy... after crossing to the other side, some of the girls said that i looked pale and told me to drink water... then i went to buy their peach ice-cream... yummy~ but holding an ice-cream while crossing a hanging bridge, was no joke... >< bought some longxu su so i can bring back to singapore... it looked delicious..

We went to have lunch and 11 girls squeezed together to a table( for 9 ) in order to eat together... <3 so sweet~(even though it's a bit squeezy..) some of them went to the toilet, but came out quickly.. because the toilet has no door. serious!!! ><

after that, we went to mount qingcheng... while climbing the mountain, we were sweating and removing our clothes because it was really getting warmer and warmer... i made up my mind and climbed all the way to the "top" where it is the end because that it the furthest we are allowed to go... i couldn't believe it!! i made it to the "top"! had a good sense of accomplishment.. :D but it was so exhausting! i have never climbed so many stairs in my life before... (X^X) but to tell the truth, i thought i was dying because whenever you look forward, there will be a lot of stairs waiting for you... and one thing, because i am a christian, i do feel awkward going to the temple and seeing ppl praying, etc... but i do know that one of my purposes here, is not critising other ppl's religion and faith but to respect them. and ppl there can really smoke. i mean when one is climbing a mountain, who wants to see, and smell smoke? besides, climbing mountains is supposed to make us healthy, but now, i don't really agree.. because i can't breathe in the pure nice clean air! evrywhere, ppl smoke... i was really irritated. (i'm sorry that i make critisms like this but i was really annoyed.) going up was a challenge, but going down was another challenge for me because of my fear of heights... luckily, one of our teachers in charge, Mr Teo was there. So he lent me his shoulder for support so i wouldn't fall. after that, i went down by myself, step by step. that's why i was happy about myself.. i am doing things that i can never imagine myself accomplishing by myself. because i know that i am the kind of people who gives up easily. so easily that i could just make excuses just to make myself feel that giving up is not a bad thing. but it's wrong, at least that's what ppl have been scolding me abt. i realised, it doesn't matter if i do things slower than others, it's better than giving up or not doing. i will give myself more encouragement!!!

So, after all these, we were all so tired that we slept on the bus and don't even feel like getting down the bus. :D so tired!!! (will sleep early)
