Flying to Hangzhou!

Yo, so I'm back from 8 days trip and it's kinda tiring but fun. Recalling from the last trip to Thailand's Bangkok City and Pattaya Town, I was expecting that China could be a little boring since it's all about ancient stuffs and history thingies. But well, I was proven wrong. It's actually more than I expected...

Okay so... On 12th December, I had to wake up on 3am since. The cab will be arriving at 4am. And my flight was at 8am. I don't know why I had to wake up so early but meh, waking up at 3am is something exciting for me. And to tell you the truth, I barely slept on that day. After dropping our doggies in Seremban, my nephew's house, we went home Puchong like 12am like that. Plus I was blogging about 6Outing, so I slept at 1:30am or later, and I only had 2 hours night time sleep... Or to be more precise, I was just having a nap. Getting everything ready, all the chargers and stuffs... Left a 'goodbye' status in Facebook in case everyone wonder where did I go or even murdered? Haha, okay cut the crap. The cab arrived to our house at 4am sharp, really sharp, it was really at 4am. And it was an hour journey to the airport. Was really bored, started up my phone and browsed around the net. But no one was online, so I was randomly writing texts on Facebook and Twitter.

Hello, Airport, nice to smell ya! Although I'm not very pleased to see LCCT, I thought it was alright. I prefer going on board in KLIA. Everything's so high class in KLIA, and KLIA is the only thing I am proud about in Malaysia, with the International World Class Leveled condition... Okay cut the crap again. LCCT isn't bad either, it's a terminal mainly for AirAsia. I guess AirAsia is kinda rich right now, owning its own airport. I gotta say 'Bravo!', from the poorest airline company to owning their own airport. So I was waiting at the 'gate', I noticed there were a lot of Chinese, and the Chinese were from China. About 60% of them are from China, 37% Malaysian Chinese and 3% Malays. I didn't see any Indians, probably because they're going to somewhere else. It's time to get on board into the plane, I was sitting beside my cousin-like Chinese. Well, I'm not going to mention that cousin anymore, I got bored of mentioning him. The minute he took his seat, he was snoozing on and off beside me. I really wanted to imitate Krystal in High Kick 3 and say, "Hey my name is Wallace. You fell asleep the minute you got on board now you okay?" Just some imitation from her, but of course I was too timid to talk to him. What if he's a prick? Plus I don't think I'm good enough to communicate with China Chinese since their Chinese is the top class Chinese and my Chinese is like some broken Chinese... Oh by the way, did I mention that my first destination in China trip isn't Shanghai but Hangzhou? No I didn't, now you know. The airplane is flying toward to Hangzhou, our starting point all the way to Shanghai. The flight was about 5 hours or more long but it wasn't so tiring, since I had my iPad with me...

Hello Hangzhou International Airport Terminal! I was so pleased to step into the land of China, well it is my Motherland! And China is where my ancestor came from, it's safe to say I'm stepping into the land where I was supposed to be as if my ancestor didn't come all the way to Nanyang (南洋) a.k.a the Malaysia where the Chinese people often call it here. Somehow I had the familiar feeling that I knew this place, though I'm sure that I've never been to China before, just feeling familiar with the place. One word soon as I step into China: LOVE. But of course, I'm certain that I won't be moving to China because I'm already used to living in Malaysia and I'm already a Malaysian. One thing that made me excited was everywhere, anywhere and wherever was all written in Chinese! I've never seen so much Chinese words in my life, and even the airport, I'm so... I don't know what to say. Since I'm following on a trip, I was going to meet the tour guide. And by the first look, I can totally tell he's a pure China Chinese. His name is... I forgot, but we often address him as 小高, some kind of respect nickname in China I guess? I can totally understand what he was speaking, as his Chinese isn't so accented like the people from Beijing...

So there will be tour guides, one is the tour guide that will always be with us for the whole tour. The other tour guide is called as the local tour guide, each place has its own local tour guide. So we'll be seeing different tour guide once we're going to the next city. Like I said, the first destination was Hangzhou, and the local tour guide was a female. Her name, I forgot. But she's pretty, and in Hangzhou, it is known to have many pretty girls, base on the legend... Hangzhou also has great views! Like everywhere in China, is art. Look at the trees and everything, they're all so beautiful! I never knew I'll fall in love with the nature. I thought Malaysia had the best nature but China has it better. The time that I was at China was Winter season, but not so Winter. You still can see Autumn trees, they're all in crimson colour. Oh yes, if you want to look for pretty girls, go to Hangzhou. There are indeed, many hot girls there, with mini skirt even it's Winter! I'm so impressed, lol! Like Simon and Martina said: "Asians, they don't feel cold in winter! And they don't feel hot in Summer!" But correction, Simon and Martina, I'm Asian myself and I can't bear the hotness here not even the freezes in China! Everywhere in Hangzhou is awesome, the views and everything... I thought I was in some kind of fairy tale book and was swimming in it...

The sky got darken at around 5pm, imaging 5pm's sky like 7pm...! Yes, I'm telling the truth, Malaysian fellows... You'll never be able to stay up to see much daylight easily if you sleep late. Because at the time of 4pm, the sky has already turn into dusk. Oh by the way, DO NOT argue with the China Chinese, no matter how great your Chinese is in Malaysia, you'll never be able to win over them. Know why? Cuz they will always spat idioms and pronouns on you... Just I don't think they can win over us if they're about to use foul words to talk-fight with us, Malaysian Chinese has a lot of rude words you know...!

Moving on to the second day, we're going to visit to the Chinese Tea Farm. I thought it was boring, I don't usually have the habit for drinking tea everyday... Mostly coffees, but I don't drink much coffees too. But this trip has changed my opinion about teas. Oh yeah, for your information, you cannot address girls in Hangzhou as 小姐, because it's really rude to them. Instead of 小姐, you have to call them 姑娘. Kinda old fashion I know... But still, it's a kind of culture and respect in China, can't do much about it. I respect it, anyway. Ah I'm so disappointed that Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Wuxi and Nanjing weren't snowing! The reason of why did I travel to China is because that I want to see the snow, you know, snow! I've never seen a tiny bit of snow before...! But at least I got to enjoy the winter breeze...

Back to the tea farm thing... After for like some experiment on how great is the tea leaf, I just realized, tea can actually can get the poisonous thing out from your body. No wonder those smokers in China are actually living a longer life than us non-smokers in Malaysia... And China is a very clean country... Unlike Malaysia, everywhere's rubbishes on the floor! Damn, I feel like living in China already!
Okay that's all for the Hangzhou trip, Imma blog about Suzhou later...! And here's a picture of me and the local tour guide (地陪), thanks for your service, though we disappointed you for not buying your cookies... Haha, 对不起啊~

There goes day 1...
