After a long hiatus from youngandinfinite; I was busy recharging and ministering- I'm back!
The start of the third day was immensely draggy. We had a really good breakfast at the dimsum restaurant in the hotel before heading off to MeiXian. It was a good 5 hour journey, I slept, read my book, slept, looked the scenery, spent time with God on the bus and slept. We did have stops in between, yes, I'm a pig and binged on chewing gum. If you are wondering what's up with the first photo, it was on the cigarette carton that my grandma bought for the bus driver.
On the way there, we passed many rural villages. Some of the houses were vacant, run down and it looked like a great place for a horror movie. There were these red tapestry like cloths that ran down each side of every door with huge chinese calligraphy on them. It freaked me out a little and made me wonder if they were trying to keep some spiritual monster out- in the end, I found out they were meant to bring good luck, not exactly to keep anything away.
When we reached, our long distance- when I say long distance, I honestly mean people who are not exactly related to us but bear the same surname as my grandfather and his children and my cousins- relatives picked us up and brought us to this restaurant to have our late lunch. They ordered dog meat for us, not knowing that we don't take to it. Our faces cringed when we took a tour of the restaurant later on and saw two of the cutest dogs in the world tied to two different doors waiting their fate. They claimed that they don't kill pet dogs, instead they purposely breed mutts; just like how we would breed cattle, for consumption.
Afterwards, they brought us to a temple where supposedly is known as the temple of death owing to the fact that there is a live tree and a dead tree at the same height next to each other, also a pond full of fish which is alive on one side and cooked on the other, yet they continue living. It was a weird experience. Had grass jelly and walked on the air for a bit before heading back to the hotel.
WE HAD KFC FOR DINNER and also the expected nightly foot massage.
Met up Dong Ying and Miho today at Cine to shop and spend time with Miho before she flies off to Japan tomorrow. It was super fun although I didn't buy a lot. Everything ended up to be from forever21 except for my bracelet. I shall wear the new clothes out tomorrow to show them to you when I blog! Also, I've been up to a mini project. Can't wait to show you guys when I'm done! Actually, it's one mini project and a huge scale one for the other.
Alright, I'll continue my China trip again tomorrow morning, in the meantime, check this video out:
