Back from 天堂

I am back!!! Well, after since i go to tibet, i realise people call this place 天堂. This is because tibet is at high attitude and it seem to be so near to heaven so it is called 天堂. Well, i would say that this trip is definitely extraordinary. The history, the cultures, the scenery are really awesome. However, it is really difficult to go sometimes. Well, when we first arrive at tibet, for the first two days, many started to have headache and this is quite common in fact. This is due to the high attitude that our body is not use to it. But sooner or later, we will be fine with it and most of the time, by the time we are leaving, we are fully use to the condition there. But there are some who are weaker, will continue to feel nausea. There is one auntie in our group vomit badly throughout the trip and when we arrive at the mainland, she was perfectly fine. I think she won't enjoy the trip much but like she said, her dream is to go tibet and able to step on the land of tibet, to her, it is a dream come true. To those who really feel very bad, they will go for a drip near the hotel. According to the uncle in our group who went for the drip, after the drip, he feel so much better and very energetic. The most "memorable" thing of this trip is the toilet. The toilet is extremely extremely smelly and disgusting. It is the one of the most natural way of relieving yourself. Well, initially if we are really urgent, we were ask to relieve ourselves on the foot of the mountains but many oppose as everyone is not use to it. Even if there is toilet, some have no door and sometime no water supply to wash hand. Well, the worst thing is the toilet is so unbearable, yet they still charge 1 to 2 yuan. We pay to use such dirty toilets... The toilet also has visitors flying everywhere. They are the flies. They are really huge and disgusting! Well, now just have to treat it as an experience... Ohya, we also took the train from the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. We sleep in a room which can hold 6 people. This room is a triple decker and i was given to sleep on the highest decker. Quite comfortable actually. One good thing of our cabin is that the ventilation is quite good. As we had to take the train for 24 hours so we had a lot of free time to walk around so, i walked from the first cabin to the last cabin. Some of the cabins are very warm due to bad ventilation. While some are flooded as the toilets are spoiled... There are some cabins which have rooms that can only consist 4 people. These cabins are more comfortable because the beds are softer and the room is more spacious. The ventilation there is way better as everyone is hiding in their room comfortably. Meanwhile, those locals who took the train but could not afford tickets that provide rooms, bought tickets that provide them to just sit of a seat which i bet isn't comfortable at all. As i walked down, they sleep very uncomfortably. Some even sleep on the corridor. It was a very pitiful sight. After seeing them, i feel that i am so lucky... On the train, you can see the rich and the poor distinctively. It really shows how reality is like now. Overall, the trip was very interesting and fruitful as i managed to learn a lot. It is definitely worthwhile to go as long as your body condition allow you to.

Flying again

Tonight, i am flying to tibet. Well, it is an extraordinary place as well as a dangerous place. Well, it is extraordinary because it is filled with interesting cultures and it is place with magnificent scenery. The beauty cannot be described in words. It is like something you must see in order to understand. So, how can such a beautiful place be a dangerous place? Well, it is at high altitude so when we, people who are very used to the low sea level, goes up to places that are around 3000 and above sea level, we might be in bad health conditions. Like headache, tummy ache, vomiting or even more serious, you will land in the hospital or some even died due to heart attack. Well, it sounds very scary but don't worry too much. Take it naturally and things will be better. Well, my mum is quite worried about this trip but definitely, what we are going to see there is really eye-opening. For me, i don't know it is the right time to go but it is too late to think so much now. Well, i have brought homework and revision there since after this june holidays, it will be Prelim. Whether i have confidence for my prelim, i don't know actually but i will try my best. Hopefully, this will be a great opportunity to learn more and see more. For this trip, i did little find outs about tibet since i am busy will all my studies this few days. Well, my june holidays lessons just ended yesterday and there is a series of homework to do. Just like the turkey trip, i will have to do homework once i am at the hotel before i go sleep. Though it may seem tiring, it's ok since i have been use to this frenetic lifestyle anyway. Well, my mum also claimed that we would slim down at tibet since there is a lot of walking and travelling and due to this low and high sea level difference, we might feel terrible and have bad appetite. This factors will then lead to us slimming down. To me, it will be great! Since i feel that i am very fat and i really need to slim down! Anyways, i hope my mum and i will enjoy this trip and may this trip be a wonderful and safe trip.
