China, A Beautiful Country (Day 2)

Woke up at 6.30 a.m. feeling nice and fresh. I had a wonderful sleep that night. The temperature was just perfect. Anyway, my mum and I washed up, changed and packed for the next night as we would stay in different hotels every night. Fine, I guess my mum did most of the packing. Lol. Then we met with the rest and went to eat our breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast was fried rice, toast bread, eggs, etc. Not bad lah. After breakfast, we went to our tour bus along with Lulu and Alex. Unfortunately, Alex could speak Mandarin only so yeah.

For our first destination, I'm not sure what the name of the place is but here are some pics..

Spiky leaves!


My dad, me and my mum

Me and Ah Fong Koo Che


All of us on a boat ride xD


Hahah! Balcony of No Frippery!

After that, we went to a silk factory. There we were shown various types of products made from silk like, pillows, quilts, etc. I got a pillow! Hahah. It's quite comfortable. All of us kinda bought A LOT. Lol. Then they compressed all the stuff we bought so it wouldn't take up so much space. After quite a while, we left for the Suzhou museum.









Fishies!

It was the normal museum stuff, you know? After that, we travelled to Wuxi. BTW, Wuxi is pronounced as Wusy, not Whoksi or Whopsy. Lol. So Alex left as he had other tours to handle. When we reached Wuxi, we picked up James, our next tour guide. And guess what? He could speak English! YAY! Lol. So our first destination in Wuxi was this Three Kingdom place.


Sorry so dark =S




Cabbage! Not edible xD
There we went for a boat ride!

The boat.

After the boat ride, we watched 2 shows at the same place.

First show..



Audience.


Er...gay 'lady'

Second show..

After both shows, we left and headed for a teapot factory. When we reached, this guy was waiting for us. He then showed us a demonstration on the teapots. It was really cool. In the end, we ended up buying 3 sets of teapots. Lol. Then we went for dinner. After a full dinner, we left for our hotel.

On the way, we saw..

Nice, right? Those are buildings, by the way.
When we reached the hotel, we settled down and me and Koko Alvin drank hot Milo again. No Maggi this time. Then I read comics for a while and then it's to Dreamland. End of day 2.

The hotel..







Sorry so blur, the name of the hotel is Dramajiangnan Hotel.

Bye!
