Have you ever been sooo close to fireworks before? I have, damn close and you can actually see ash falling right at your face.
We also visited the deer farm. Quite sad to see the animals getting skinned though...
It snowed during Christmas. It was just a very very mild snow though. But Im glad that I get to see it.
Closer experience with the marine animals...
Went to the Silk Factory to the way they make silk out from the silk worm.
Mini Fashion Show! Silk clothings.
Isn't this nice??? ;)
People
The people there are not very nice actually :P They like to push you when you are in the way, like to anyhow spit, talk very loud. When they do sales, they will pull you and start to talk talk talk, but some are really nice.
Im really impress with the people living in Ha er Bin. Ha er Bin is one of the coldest place in the world other then Alaska, North Pole and South pole, the temperature can be as low as -42 degrees! Plus Summer there is quite short, around a month i guess... So they have been living in cold.
It is kinda cute when you compare yourself with the people dressed there. You were all wrapped up leaving the eyes open only but for them, they just need those nice thick stompy boots and a nice winter jacket. You will seriously feel like a snowman when if you were there.
Our snow boots
The ultimate winter outfit (photo error cnt rotate)
Cover till left with the eyes... lol!
As this is a package tour, I get to know some really nice people from the people who bought the same package.
The Four ah siao girls! :P
Best couple award! :P
Joanna and her family (I was surprised that her mother said that im cute -- )
Food
Everyday, three times a day, chinese food was what we ate all the time. There was only once where we ate western buffet which was really nice! The chinese food was nice it just that they eat a lot of vegetables, and I mean a lot. Plus their food are all saltish and oily. Seems that oil and salt are free to them. Anyway there are meaning to why they add so much though, cause all this helps to make the throat or the body warm which also can mean that they welcome you warmly. It may seem weird but yea... They eat alot of fish which is my favourite food. One thing bad is that their fish have way too many bones. Many people do not want to eeat them because of the bones, so I ate most of it. Suprisingly I didn gain much weight. haha!
Ice creams that never melts! That because it winter season....
Our very first meal, 14 different flavours dumplings!
Even their fast food like Mcddonald and KFC have lots of veggies in their burger. Oh, and they dun have chilli which is quite sad. Oh ya! And I love the hot chocolate from Mcdonalds. Simply delicious!
