So we went to Canberra for a 3days trip. Shan't divide into 3 posts so stay with me while i write non-stop and u read non-stop then we can all bored ourselves to death.
We departed on Thursday night and reached Australian Capital Territory (ACT Canberra) the following morning. People with me are my mom and brother and a girl that i dun remember seeing or let alone knowing.. think her name is LanWei or smth, or is it Huangwei? her name's got to do with colours. cant quite rmb~ so I travelled on the 10odd hour bus with a strangely coloured girl besides me.
After we reached we were greeted with much enthusiasm from the harsh weather which is -2! my god, its cold alright.. got our luggages and soon ah Von, our tourguide happily fetched us. Ah von is a strange character that always thinks she's a msian or indian. dual citizenship i reckon. anyways before this trip whenever during phone calls when we came to the point of discussing abt the trip she'll say byebye. like this..
Me: "...(previous topic).... AHAHAHA.. ya lo ya lo.. o ya.. abt the Canberra trip..."
Von:"EMERGENCY! GOT TO HANG UP.. BYE.. BYE!!!" *Hang up
and this..
Me:"... so tml after we reach..."
Von:"ERROR, ERROR, INFORMATION OVERLOAD." *Hang up
Hmmm.. oh well.. so quite a relief she did come to fetch us and sorry so much 4 losing ur job over our arrival man.. if u want ur deserved compensations, do feel free to get them from Zhangxi ok ^^
We settled on this hotel in the heart of the city, pardon me but i 4got the name of it. its a v.cheap pay so the service and environ sucks but hey!! its cheap! and its near everywhere! so aint no dissing it, and the timetable 4 the trip can be summarized as:
Day1:War Memorial, Telstra Tower
Day2:Science Centre, Parliament houses (the S at the back is deliberate. got 2 P.hses)
Day3:Gold Creek Village and areas around it, the Lake.
The memorial's just whiter than bread man.. downright plain.. probably whats' there's not v.related to us.. so nth much to talk abt it.. on the way in i saw some interesting statues...
Honestly Canberra isnt small.. its enormous! whoever says its small must be deluded and fooled!
See that building? yeah.. the white one.. thats the parliament house, the old one.. it looks SO near! 10minutes walk i dare say.. Alright.. and so we set off, happy as can be, humming songs, enjoying the walk and taking pics..
An hour passed..................
Alright.. we r still happy ppl, we are still far from it, but we r making progress,we are making progress..
Another hour passed.....................................
*Nervous Laughter .. AH HA HA HA, "lets take a pic!" "lets hum a song!" (OH GOD, why are we still so FAR.... AWAYYYYYY!~~~~~)
Yet another hour passed................................................................................................
ARGH!!!! WE R SEPERATED BY A BIG RIVER!!! OH NO!!!! SAILOR SAILOR, U HEAR ME??? SAIL US OVER TE THERE!! POPEYE!! BLUTO!!! TOMATO ... o... o.... !...!......
And so we ended up taking a bus back to city.. there u see the sheer size of the city? scary place.....
After plenty of resting and eating and drinking and toileting and walking, its time to go the Telstra tower!! woohoo.. heard so much abt it.. but hearing and being there is of cos alw diff.. theres this incident of a crazy driver which i'll go indept later... at 1st i thought its literally a mountain that u need to climb arnd 5million stairs to reach and up there theres this giant antenna thing which transmits telstra info-waves. Telstra's a telecommunication provider here, kinda like starhub,m1, bla bla bla... but NO! its a mountain with great roads that cars takes u right to the top and u can go up the tower to dine and enjoy the city view! like the tower in Tianjin.. ppl, pls visit Tianjin's tower!! its like the onli attraction of the city?? and from there u can go the YinHe guangchang!! u all have to go!
that 2 oval thing is where u can skate, or rollar blade or da taiji, then in winter time, it will be COVERED in water and naturally form ice and its A GIANT AND MAGNIFICENT ICE SKATING ARENA!! hohohoohohohohoho.. Brought you by the Board of Tourism China(TianJin).
WHO PUSH ME WHO PUSH ME??????? *living in denial of being a good photographer.
Sadly dun break into 3 posts is v.tiring.. haha.. till later guys..
