Had a morning call from the receptionist. Wanted to sleep longer as the bed is really comfortable but we need to assemble for breakfast at 8am. So reluctantly, I drag myself to prepare for the day. It was my father’s birthday sms him my wishes. Had a good breakfast. For me I think it was the best breakfast for the entire trip. There are fried dough sticks. Although they had turn cold but they still taste nice.

The 1^st place that we went is the Mei Ren Gu. No climbing of stair or hills. It has different scenery, different feeling. It’s a very nice place. We sat on the wooden boat – a man rowing the boat. Compare to the one we had a 3 gorges I think the one at 3 gorges is more tiring. The water at 3 gorges is deeper hence more strength is needed to row the bow. There are waterfalls there and it is really cooling when we are near the falls. The scenery is very nice I hope that they could preserve this natural beauty so as let the later generation to experience the same feeling.

Next up is to a cave call Xian Ren dong. Another thing that you cannot see in Singapore. We had a long walk inside the cave. We took about 1 hr to get out of the cave. At some points we need to bent down to walk as the place is very low. I knock my head once, and it hurts. The guide describe some of the stone as animals. Are there naturally form or just manmade. Seeing all this natural forms, my mind flash through what my geography teacher had taught- the formation of caves. Had a hard time to remember all processes. Now seeing the real caves, I can actually remember and understand what the teacher is talking about. Probably, teacher’s can change another method to teach student, example bringing students to reality and lie them feel and experience. I think could lead to a better understanding.

After the visit to the cave, we headed to a mechanics shop as there is something wrong with the wheels of the bus. So for our safety the driver repair it firs before we headed back to our hostel. I think the wheels had worn off due to the bumpy road and the speed the driver is driving. I think the driver should decrease the speed as safety come first; there is no need to rush back to our hostel. After repairing the wheels, we headed back to our hostel. On our back, I saw the driver spit while driving. I think this is very unhygienic; there are many ways to clear the spits. After 4 hrs we finally reach our hostel and rest after the long ride.
