My Great Wall Adventure




Ever since I was in..hhhmmm maybe high school, na-amazed nako sa history. Ancient history, like yung greek Gods, mga tribe -tribe, yung mga warrioirs sa Japan and of course my dynasty sa Tsina hehe. Pati wonders of the world. Tas ayan syempre included dyan ang Great Wall of China. Believe it or not pero madalas ako manuod ng Discovery Channel lalu na pag history ng blah blah, mga crime investigations, mga wild animals kaya siguro I can't swim alone, pool man or beach kasi kakanuod ng shark shark na yan hehe.

Anyhoo It's been awhile since my last post here. Got into a ordeal kasi nhaks pero I'm alright now. Ayun na nga nung nag punta ako sa Great Wall for a flight, Chinese holiday ata for 5 days kaya surprise napaka daming tao, parang people power ang eksena haha ang catch dito is almost everyone is chinese. We were like "huh?" why? kasi parang hindi pa ba nila napupuntahan ito? eh di ba taga dito sila? parang Luneta, syempre hindi na dudumugin ng Pinoyski yun kasi siguro naman nakapunta na halos lahat dun... well except for me but still di ba? Kainis dinala ko pa naman tripod ko mag pipicture picture sana ako but no I did not kasi baka mawala or mabunggo sya agad.

May two route sa Great Wall and both are really high, kaya naman hiningal ako kasi sobrang vertical nung way plus ang lamig pa so kulang nalang hikain ako haha and I can't stop because maiiwanan ako ng mga collegue ko na parang hindi napapagod. But the site was so amazing! ang ganda grabe and infairness well preserve yung part na napuntahan namin. Panay imagine nga ako eh, mga soldiers, mga dynastiya, emperors hehe.

Tapos hhmm ano pa ba... ayun when we got on the very top, nakaka inis lang din because we did not have time to take pictures or i-feel man lang yung view because super dami ngang tao, parang moving line kasi kami so parang nag mamadali kami bumaba kasi nga na-nunulak na ang mga asa likod as if Star Wars premier night sya! kape! Kaya yun kulang nalang gumulong ako pababa, tulakan kasi.

But all in all, the experience and the wall are really worth it! It was fun because all of my collegue including the Captain hehe pero kakainis because I do not have enough picture huhu I hope that I will have this flight again but this time sana may kasama akong barkada or friend man lang hehe and I haven't been to The Forbidden City :( kasi under removation daw that time, o diba pag minamalas nga naman hay.. :(
