I'M BACK!!
well my chiang mai trip was great!!
some highlights:
-2 days of trekking through the jungle, and seriously its very very tiring. had to climb up 8 hills in total! and even had a few river crossings.
-stayed over at a village, in a bamboo hut, with totally NO electricity at all, and NO toilet, and with lots of pigs, chickens, wild boars. we had to bring a stick along when going to the toilet(ala anywhere in the bushes) to defend ourselves against the pigs... my goodness! it was a totally different experience!
-nxt 2 days of white water rafting. this was really really FUN!! especially the rapids! had a good arm workout rowing the boat. plus i'm now pretty sunburnt from spending sooo much time in the blazing hot sun.
-for the rafting trip, we also staying in a place with no electricity. but this time in a tent! and there was a "proper" toilet, in a sense the place at least had a private enclosed area for ur business. haha.
-last 2 days-rest, relax and lots of shopping!! the night bazzar, central shopping centre are fantastic shopping places! plus, the prices are extremely friendly. so you can imagine how excited i was!! really, we shopped till we dropped man! [to the point where even i couldn't take it anymore...] haha but bargaining is not easy at all. i think i'm just too soft-hearted. haha so i just left all the bargaining to my mum! she's the expert. lolz.
-on the whole, i had a total body workout. but i think i put all the weight back on coz the FOOD was soo good. and really CHEAP! really. a very decent meal at a riverside restaurant (with a live band, beer and all) cost us (5pple) about 1000 plus baht (approx 45bucks SGD)!
-so now i'm sunburnt and hopefully a bit stronger. haha:)
oh i and still remembered to make my new year resolution: (for the sake of making one)
which is be HAPPY!
