Hi everyone! :) Just got back from the airport, ate a really quick dinner, showered for 10 minutes (which is rare because to me, showers are really important so I like to take my time especially after coming back from a trip), turned on my Mac and Wi-Fi in the matter of 3.2 seconds and now I'm blogging like there's no tomorrow! :) My dad says I'm like a drug addict to the Internet now but if you didn't get your hands on anything CLOSE to a computer (I didn't even touch my mom's phone) for 8 days, I'm sure you'd do the same.
Not going to explain everything that happened in the trip because: one, it was basically 70%+ a CL History lesson, we went to museums and old Chinese palaces for most of the time so I doubt you'd be interested. :/ Two, I want to do another post ASAP because it means a lot to me.
But the highlight of the trip was the largest ice sculpture exhibition in Ha Er Bin. Seriously amazing. You should really go there, battling the temperature of negative 23 degrees Celcius is worth it. Yes, you heard me, it was THAT cold. I had to wear two pants, one was a normal pants, the other one was a special one for cold weather and was super thick, two long sleeved undershirts, a woollen sweater, at least two parkas and when you went out, you MUST have a woollen hat, gloves, earmuffs and a scarf that would preferably cover most of your face or else your face'll be really painful because of the cold. And you had to have special shoes. Mines were boots that were really thick, had a woollen interior and had thick soles to keep the chill out. Two socks, one normal and one really thick were essential.
I'll post pictures soon but not tonight. Sorry, I want to do other stuff first. Like another blog post! :) It's coming out in about 30 minutes after I post this one.
Sorry again I couldn't RIGHT ON Christmas Day. :( I hope you all had a nice Christmas. I sure did, in fact it snowed on that day! :) Maybe I can skip travelling next year and stay here with all of you and let Momma and Daddy go since they haven't had much alone time for quite a while. And I hope you all felt God's wonderful love and care on that day! Remember, it's not about Santa, but God's blessing that came: Jesus. His only son came to us to teach, love, purify us and be sacrificed for us. He was thinking of us on the cross. He died for us. He shouldn't have but He loves us so much that He did.
And tomorrow's the last day of 2011! So who wants to hang out with me for the whole day until midnight? :)
Okies, time to start a new blog post. Warning: Might be a lil' emotional.
