Lauren's Life
Hi all,
can't remember the last time i did a journal!
Basically, we have been to Yangshao which was amazing and i bought 2 PAIRS OF SHOES!!! They were 9 pounds each which was amazing. I also bought some clothes so i sent it all back to london by plane cause it wouln't fit in my bag! The other girls did the same.
After Yangshou we went to Chaolong which is a picturesque farming village. We stayed in an old converted farm. Dani and I had a mosquito infested room (obviuosly no-one else did!), so i proceeded to spray the room with DEET which is a really strong insect repellent which apparently you should only spray in well ventilated rooms.....that night dani had bad asthma and i could hardly breath. But we decided better that than being bitten to threads and get Japanese Incefalitus (which we've been immunised against anyway but that's not the point!). In Chaolong we went on a bamboo raft which was so lovely and we went down mini waterfalls it was so fun!
Then after that we went to Lonji valley which is so beautiful with rice paddies and fields etc. We went on a 5 hour hike which to be honest i didn't love. I got a bit bored so listended to some Damien Rice on my mp3. But the weather was lovely and scenery gr8.
Now we are in Honk Kong where i've been b4 and it's cool. Apart from today we went to get a Cambodian visa and we went ot the old address on Honk Kong island and it turned it the new address (as of 1998!) was 2 secs from our hostel! But the rest of our day was gr8 we went in all the cool shops and we went to see The Da Vinci Code coz it was pouring. The books so much better i wasn't impressed with Tom Hanks but i still really enjoyed it.
So, i'm still having a fantastic time hoepfully going Disney land tomorrow woohoo!
Anyway, i'm babbling now and i'm going for dinnner in a sec so....
bye!
much love, L xxxxxxx
