1. The 1st time I saw such filth filled and funky smelling 'toilets'.
2. The 1st time I set off fire crackers(the chinese new year type) and fire works(the kind you see during national day).
3. The 1st time I step foot on rural,sub-urban and urban China.
4. The 1st time I grass-skied. (No mistake there.)
5. The 1st time I drove a four-wheeled motor bike(dunno what's it really called).
6. The 1st time I played with 30 cm thick snow.
7. The 1st time I saw such a beautiful side of China.(frozen waterfalls k!!)

• The difference between China's(places I visited) temperature during the night and day was 15 degrees Celsius.
• I spent 4 days of my 10 day trip traveling.
• Wore an average of 3.5 layers of clothing there.
• Had only 3 hours out of the 10 days trip to shop.

Nevertheless I had LOADS of fun in China. Played with this family of five traveling with us. Apparently the 16 yr old dude also applied for Anderson. What a small world. Lol.

Anyway, this trip turned out to be more entertaining then what I thought.

Also,because I spent so much time traveling in a bus full of sleeping tourists,I had plenty of time for my own thoughts to float in the music playing in my ears.

The bumpy bus ride made me think alot of my past, my future and how bloody cold China is.

It was my life story playing at 50 km/hr right before my eyes. Weird. But very refreshing.

There were the ups. The downs. The tears. And all that love. Best form of travel entertainment I must say. Something to clear up my cerebral hemisphere, something to open up my mind. A holiday from normal mind processes.

Amusing how easily we get so trapped in our little worlds of darkness when the light is staring right in front of us.

I'm finally 16. Hurray.
