爱晴

爱琴海是希腊的神话。是不是当你得不到的才是真真的爱情？当我重访希腊时，雅典对我来说已不重要。共欢了3个星期，再次踏上渡轮，却是脸带欢笑，只因我知道彼此会在一个月后再相遇。

RE: Calling back home

26th Feb, Saturday I received a call from sister after I done my hair perm. IT was 830pm while we having dinner at Xi'an.Yin text me and told me that father just passed away.

I have to changed my flight and go home to attend funeral. After searching, the flight only available on 28th, Monday. I have to take train from Xi'an to Chengdu.

The next morning, i wake up early and went to train station purchased train ticket. It crowded at train station. I bought hard seat ticket to Chengdu at 4.00pm. It cost RMB132. After bought train ticket, I took bus to Terracoatta Warrior. It's an hour drive from city of Xi'an. I only have 3hours before i catch the bus back to center.

The ticket cost RMB110. I took shuttle to main entrance of the musuem. There is 3 part of the musuem and spent 1 and half hour. I went to another musuem is called Qing Musuem. This is less popular spot even provide free shuttle. It was big and huge with garden and Emperior Qing tomb. It was cold and freezign covered wtih snow. I walked around 1/2 hour and took shuttle back.

I reached Maggie house at 2pm. I was in rush as i need to catch train at 4pm. I say good bye to Maggie, bought few pack of instand noodles and run to bus stop. I was felt down on the way when I didnt pay attention on the road. The traffic in center is very bad especially today is Sunday. Finally I reached train station at 3.30pm. I go thru luggage check and was waiting at platform. It's 6 seats face to face on the train. The lady who seat opposite me with her mother do not seem like friendly.


At 16hours ride, I finally reach Chengdu North Train station at 8.50am as per schedule. I leave my luggage at train station. I took bus to Chengdu zoo. However they told me you not allow to take picture with pandas here. So they refer me to Panda Ji Di which farther north. I took bus 115 and reached Chengdu JiDi after 3ominute. I paid RMB55 for the entrance. I spent 3hours walked around. I'm observed pandas behaviour also. I stopped at one points where the 5pandas is having their lunch. One of panda try to grab apple out of space. The others 4 of them do not want to go back after been feed. I heard how panda communicated with each others. It's really nice to see animals also know how to protect each others.

I back to Chengdu center at 3pm. I took bus to Jinli street. This street is famous with Wuhou Temple. I didnt enter the temple as i don't have time. I took walk at Jin Li street. This is very tourist spot where you can try all snack of Sichuan. I heading back to train station picked up my backpack and took metro to nearest place to airport. I took taxi to airport as the last bus in 7pm. The taxi cost RMB8 and need to pay for toll . I reached Shingli International airport at 8pm and waiting to check in. The counter only open at 930pm and the flight depart on time.

I reached LCCT, KL at 4am the next day 1st March 2011. I ended my China trip 2 weeks early. I ended my overland world trip after 4 months. I back home after 16months.
