my china journey

Taipei to HK....i met my 3 other friends from NY at HK airport. we 4 ppl took same flight to chongqing....but one of them lost his luggage...luckily, they found it after 6 hrs

we stayed in chongqing for 3 days...chongqing is very hot and humid...we sweated and we smelled :P every food is spicy...we could not take spicy food but they offer spicy food every day...sucks!

then we took cruise from chongqing to Yi-Chang...we stayed on the curise for 4 days...the curise was not amzing but yangtze river was very amzing and inspiring...SEEING IS BELIVING!! what i have read in the books before wont be able to compare with what i saw in person...all i can say is it was very very amazing!!

we got to beijing last night...we took train from yi-chang to Beijing... 20 hrs ride... nonstop...and we sleep on the small bunk beds...guys in the group are all tall and they could not fit into small chinese beds....we did not shower after 40 hrs....we all smelled and tired....

last night, our first night in beijing, we went to bed around 2:30 am and had to get up at 6 AM, leave hotel at 7 AM. we did not sleep enough and did not have good appetite in the morning...THEN guess what?? they took us to boot camp!! how fun!! they did not inform us at all and we did not know we will go to boot camp...some ppl wore flip-flops and we somehow hurt ourselves...they made girls to do army thing too and they made us crawl on the floor...so i hurt my knees and of course, bleed...coz i wore shorts....

anyways, all i can say is so far, i think the whole free trip things suck a bit....

i wish it can get better and better......let's wish

tokyo trip ~ day 1
 
14 hrs nonstop flight from NYC to tokyo
it's a nightmare
i sat in the middle of the row
and coach class seat  is small :(
 
i did not see my parents and my sis when i am @ arrival lobby
they said they would wait there
then they are late
i went to another terminal wait for them
how fun!
 
then my sis' friend came and took us to sushi place
all sashimu and seafood dinner
very fancy and delicious
per person 6000 YEN about 60 US dollars i think
it's too much food... i almost throw up ...and i do not eat sashimi
 
after dinner, my sis took me to shopping
most stores are closed but we still shopped a bit
it's fun
so much to see....
 
that lady took off her high heel @ subway station...dressy but not classy...
Sashimi......but i do not eat raw fish -___-
 
electronic map...the # tells me how many minutes it takes to that stop...its very accurate!
shinjooku@ night
tabbaco vending machine
lots of SPECIAL serivice and weird night life happens here...i do not like walking there....feel very very uncomfy!!
 
anyways Day 1 ends...i am having jetlag now~ waiting for my day 2
