One after another

Since friday was a holiday for qingming festival, i made another impulse trip for the long weekend. This time, i went to taiyuan, mainly for the pingyao ancient city. So on thursday, i got my air tickets (seriously, china's ticketing agents are very good) and on friday early morning, we left for taiyuan.

I never realise how dirty a place can be until i got there. I'm not even the kind who's obssessed with cleanliness. At the each day, i use up at least 3-4 cottons to wipe my face and the cottons will still be black. Fortunately i only stayed there for 2 nights. Still, the city is interesting. After spending so much money on entrance fees, i've decided to make myself a student pass. It's only 5 RMB compared to the hundreds of RMB i can save! Food was horrible there. I don't understand how anyone can eat such salty food. In the end, we found comfort food from sakura inn that served western food (e.g. pizza). Of course, it came at a steep price...

For this weekend, it's just a day trip to simatai. Not going to be too adventurous so that i will have time to fix some stuffs in my house before my family arrives!
