CHIP Day 2: 12th May 2010


Mood: Sick l Music: Lady Gaga - Poker Face

Day 2, we left 苏州 early for 合肥. Youyou and I did not have time to have a proper breakfast so we hurriedly grabbed a meat bun and rushed to the bus. Fortunately, there were left over cheesecake and it became our breakfast and snacks.

After a long ride to 合肥, we went to 包公词 and were shocked by the toilet facilities. (A similar picture, I was too aghast to take a picture of the toilet.)


Other than that, the 包公词 was a pretty scenic place. 包公 was my childhood tv drama, so it was pretty interesting to take a look at his waxes and tomb. The tomb was cold and it made one wonders where did the cool air came from. (spooky~)

There were many engraving, pictures on the wall..I didn't have the time to read it though. When we finally reached the tomb chamber, heads up were the lotus-look-alike-ventilation, up ahead was a stone table and the coffin. The coffin was encased in a special-fine wood sponsored by 包公's descendants. After a tour, we headed out to the Pagoda and took photos. And that pretty much ended our guided tour for the day.

After dinner, the whole group of girls with the led of Youyou, 浩浩荡荡 went to 步行街 to shop. We didn't shop much since it was already late after dinner. I only managed to buy a hair clip for 5 Yuan but the rest of the girls managed to buy shoes and clothes!! *envious!!!*

With that, a late night shopping with the girls marked the end of Day 2.
