HELLO.I miss the Singapore food. Intending to eat:
1.Hokkien Mee
2.Laksa
3.Maggie Mee
Thats all, eat too much later too fat. Bad for health,not good to have too much fat stored inside our body ya. Went to Xiamen for 7 days,this time seems so long lor, miss my bed and the toilet bowl in my toilet. lol.

Day 1: 7th June Woke up at 4am in the morning,very excited. Not tired at all. Went to airport and guess what. We were the FIRST passenger to check in. =) Got a seat above the wing of the aircraft,blocked a little of my view of the scenery. Breakfast was HORRIBLE. The pancake had some sort of cream inside it. Too soft and a bit weird, regretted not choosing the dumpling with carrot cake =/. Flight delay,Arrived at about 12 plus at XIAMEN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. OUR TOUR GUIDE (xiao lian) was waiting for us already lo. Had to go to the shopping center to pick the other 4 Singaporeans, 2 cute aunties, 1 uncle and a young man. Together we went to eat lunch at a "high-class restaurant". The food super salty and oily. They use the oil like free of charge like that. Next,we sat in a bread bus and on our way to TAN KA KEE Memorial building.

Handsome Tan Ka Kee.

GUI LAI TANG



see, the people are popping out. Maybe they ate popping candy ba.


Woah!

After visiting this place we went for dinner. A 10-course meal. I was not really full la. SO at night call for room service and i use my OWN money to pay. Hai. Fried Rice with egg, but could not really see the egg. ONly got a few pieces.


FRIED RICE

Day2:8th June
We left Xiamen today and were on our way to Quan Zhou. The journey told about 4 about plus. BUT BUT BUT on our way we visited some one place.
KAI YUAN SHI


A 1300 years old tree


The workers in the past used their bare hands to build this tower by building steps to the top.

Day3:9th June
WAH! Today's breakfast a lot of things to eat. And also television to watch, although the show wasn't nice. We ate for about 45 minutes? The tour guide not even here yet, she was LATE. -.-
Basically, once again, we are going to leave "Quan Zhou" again and going to "Fu Zhou", another place with nice food I heard.

XI HU
Many beggers around this place, so must hold all our belongings tightly cause some of the beggers will snatch it away from us. AND DO NOT DONATE money to them. If you donate sometimes they will still say the money you donated is too little.


Flowers bloomming

There were many teenagers drawing there. SO, I just took some pictures of their drawings.



Which one nicer?

Okay,this Journey is also a long one la. Nothing to do on the bus so just listened to my mp3 and slept. Reached Fu Zhou at about 6? Went for a early dinner I would say AND my mother thought I will surely call for room service again. SURPRISINGLY I DID NOT =) Even if I want, I also must control. ^_^

Day4:10th June
Did not really visit much places today, but did a little bit of shopping as we had the whole morning free. And we had to catch a train at 1.30 to go to Wu Yi Shan. The other 4 in our group had to take the bus back to Xiamen and then take the 9.30 plane to Wu Yi Shan. For them, they wasted a lot of time, because the journey back to Xiamen needed 5 hours plus. And as we took the train from "Fu Zhou", we only needed 6 hours to reach Wu Yi Shan.
There were so many people boarding the train, had to squeeze among them. GUESS WHAT. The seat we got was very uncomfortable and when the train move it was going backwards lor. Which I cannot take it. So my mother went to purchase the ticket (S$5) to change to a more softer and larger chair. Hmmm...that was more comfy. I started eating and eating, from biscuits to cakes and even bought a cup of mee. Finally got to try Chu Qian Yi Ding. Very cheap, S$0.60 and it was such a big bowl I could not finish. Hai, the journey very long, when reach that time I stand up my buttock so pain. As usual, there was a tour guide waiting for us and he brought us to a hotel with NO LIFT. -.-''' SOme more we were staying at the third floor. Climb the staircase until siao! The food that the restraunt served was NOT NICE AT ALL. It was so cold, salty and oily and that stupid fish had so many bones. GOODNIGHT.

Day5:11th June
TOday, we met the four people from our group again, and together we were on our way to sit the Zhu Fa. There was a long queue forming there. Think got about 200 people queuing up to sit the Zhu Fa? 1 Zhu Fa can only take a maximum of 6 people, thus got 2 people from our group had to join another 3.


Other people going off.


DON'T LEAVE US!!!!

Off we go---

This is the one of the uncles on my Zhu Fa.
He took these 2 pictures for us.






TIPS:
Wear this red red thing to protect your precious shoe from the WATER!


Known as the "Frog Rock"


Erm,actually I also don't know what is this.

Okay,the Zhu Fa trip lasted for 80 minutes and we went for lunch at the hotel ONCE AGAIN.
Must conserve energy because we need to climb TIAN YOU FENG in the afternoon.

TIAN YOU FENG


Had to go all the way up. A total of 828 steps.


We are HERE.


These 2 cute aunties felt that they could not climb so they just sat on the sedan which costed them S$46. IN the end only me, my mother and that young man from our group walked up that mountain.


All of it started by going into this small hole.


AHHHH! The steps so steep and high that i nearly fell.


We are 1/3 way up. This is where the fairies have their bathe but I did not see them. maybe they too shy to come out. -.-




Finally completed the 828 steps and took these from the TOP =)


Ate this while waiting for the two aunties to come.


SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP

The journey downhill was more hard and my legs were trembling. And I saw big big "mao mao chong"...quite scary.



Day6: 12th June
ANother one again. Need to climb:
YI XIAN TIAN


Had to go into this rock.


What we see from the inside and there were even bats flying on top. Scary and their shit is so smelly. LOOKING FOR HOPE


Going out and I can SEE LIGHT!!!


Trying hard to get down. Steep steps again.

Today afternoon going back to Xiamen, but this time is by plane, which only needed 45 minutes.
At night after dinner, xiao lian took us to watch a cultural programme.



There was also a fake wedding ceremony organized and that young man from my group was called to be the bride groom.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH






Here comes the bride


THE GROOM!!


That marks the end of the wedding ceremony and we are now going to see the night scence in XIAMEN!


Took this picture when the bus was moving. Nice or not? This is also my MSN DISPLAY PICTURE? Did you notice? If you didn't, means you are NOT observant enough. -.-


Bought this meal from the nearby macdonald. SO CHEAP LOR. Only S$3.00

Day7:13th June
The places we visited not say very interesting, so shall skip that part but the only thing i remembered is THIS!!!


WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY????????????
WHY da bian need $0.30 and xiao bian is free? Is It because Da bian can be used to make fertilisers and also need to use more toilet paper?

Last day in Xiamen:
We had the whole morning to ourselves except that we had to reach the airport at 10.20.
As usual, we were the first passengers to check in too. SO, we went to drink coffee and I ate sandwiches. THE sandwiches was so expensive lor, 2 sandwiches costed S$7.00. =//

Also introducing to you, the most expensive cup of coffee on EARTH.
IT COSTED 60 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!
