Hiya minna, tadaima. (",)

Thanks for everyone's concern and wishes ya. Arigatou. Sugei ureshii ne. I'm fine ya, really. And everyone pls take care too! Dun lose to this irritating weather ya.

And also, as promised, I've juz updated my yahoo chengdu album with pics of my previous trip to the Wolong Panda Center and the Qiang Stockard. So, please checked it out ya... Enjoy!

Oh well, had a really tiring and bumpy journey to these places, but still enjoy it ya. Minna, Otsukare sama deshita.

Yoshi... So what's about this trip? Hmm, it's my first time seeing pandas. Haha, really cute animals. Playing around, lazing around, climbing logs, playing slides and enjoying the warm sunlight. Heh, good life right? And if the weather got too atsui, there's still the cooling fully air-conditioned rooms prepared for them. That's the national treasure for you. Btw, heard of this little panda joke? What's panda's biggest wish in their life? Hands up? Anyone? Haha, their wish or dream is to be able to take coloured pics. Lol.

Right, after visiting Mr Panda, we head on another long and bumpy ride to this Qiang Stock or Tao Ping Qiang Zai. It is to say the oldest and famous stockard family in China. This clan are well-known for their cleverness, especially in building and architecture. All concepts of bridges comes from them. They are say to have a history of few thousands years or more. So, we had a chance to experience their life. We stayed for the night in one of their house of one family, which are usually provided for tourists, not a hotel btw. An interesting thing of their shelters are that it's all made up by stones of different sizes, built up piece by piece without any blueprint beforehand. Thus, this show how skilled they are and also their experience. It's nice to experience for a night, but please dun ask me to stay there for good. Alright, I'm a spolit kid.

In the night, we also went to watch their night activity. Thou we reached there alittle late, but still enjoyed watching them, singing and dancing around. You noe, like those kind of tribal people who's had fun dancing and singing round a campfire. Some of them even join in the dancing too.
The very next day morning, we also tour around the stockard, visiting other people's homes. They even have their own towers in their house. Cool. Thou it's tiring to travel around the house, as there's alot of climbling, but still it's a very interesting home.

After leaving the Qiang Stockard, on our way back to Chengdu, we also have a chance to go rafting or Piao Liu. Really cool and fun. All of us took on a banana boat and went "sailing" down their Min River aka Ming Jiang. Haha, we gonna really wet after the ride, inside out. It's really fun riding the waves up and down and having cold water pouring all over u. Hope to ride it again someday.

Right, after the journey back to Chengdu, all of us gathered again at Chunxi. Went to this posh chinese restaurant which offers a very good and cheap dianxin buffet. Yep, also celebrated YS's birthday. Thou downright tired, but still enjoyed alot. Happy belated birthday again YS!

Right, another trip ended. Is there another one? Hmmm... seems like not much time left, still about 5 weeks more here. Excited? Haven really feel anything yet. Maybe when the day draw nearer bah.

Alright, think dun hold u all here any longer, go ahead and enjoyed the pics ya... And take care too, see u all in few weeks time! Miss ya.
