Cheng Du & Bangkok

So I finally found time to blog.
Had a good time in Cheng Du and Bangkok but once I got home..it's back to reality!
A reality that includes dangerously near assignment deadlines , nerve wrecking presentations and reports to hand up.
Anyways, back to the trip.
As I've mentioned in my earlier post, the trip was part of my course and classmates and me organized the trip..How cool is that!?
We left on the 6th of March which was last two Mondays ago, our flight was at 7.50am which meant we had to be at the airport at 5.50am to check in.
If you know me well enough, I'm not much of a morning person and it takes more than an earthquake to wake me up!
I'm serious! The last time there was an earthquake in Malaysia and the big ass Tsunami hit, I was up in Cameron's with family. My uncle woke with his bed shaking that morning...me? I slept through it! I didn't even know there was an earthquake till he asked me if I felt anything. So yea..when I'm asleep..I'm dead to the world. *a really noisy alarm clock would be good*..*hint hint*.
Ok back to the trip..again, I ended up not sleeping to avoid missing the trip. So I did my last minute packing, watched some TV, had an early breakfast and waited for Mr Wang to pick Clarise and Hsien Loong up from college. Mr Wang is this cool taxi driver dude who's very reliable and charges very reasonable.
Well...I got in the cab...got to the airport in time..checked in luggage...hung around till departure time...got on the plane..fell asleep till Bangkok airport for transit..hoped into the other plane and we were off to Chengdu!
We arrived in Chengdu at around 2pm and once we got outa the airport we were off to some tourist destinations and temple's, we only checked into the hotel at 9pm..so yea, it was pretty hectic.
First of all, food in Chengdu does not taste so good and it's soooo oily but the beer there is surprisingly good and cheap! And I love the weather.
Other than visiting alot of places, seeing Panda's and goin up Mount E-Mei, we didn't do much.
After four days in Chengdu..we left for Bangkok and thats where all the shopping and fun really began!
The temperature in Chengdu was at most 8-10°C..but in Bangkok, it was 26-29°C..good thing none of us fell sick.
In Bangkok we visited the Chao Phraya River, some Gem Factory and Leather shop (pretty boring stuff), then we went to Chathuchak Market(madness) for some serious shopping. The girls went mad! I could only take 3 hours of hot stuffy shopping (not to mention I got lost for 2 hours) but the girls, they were there till the shops closed at 6pm and whats more..it wasn't enough for some of them and they headed to MBK which I just found out stands for Mabhoonkraung to do more shopping!!
At night..some went for the famous Thai Massage, Thai Girls and Thai Men Shows..but me..I went clubbing.
During the two days I was at Bangkok, I met up with Joni who studies there, so yea..she kinda became my tour guide, which was great! She can speak Thai and all so she did some of my bargaining for me and it was great hanging out with her!
We left Bangkok on the 11th, which was too soon for us..but at the same time,some of them couldn't wait to go back home.
Left Bangkok..reach KLIA at 10.30pm..went to duty free shops to buy stuff..cut class next day.
This post is starting to sound like my Post-Tour Report so that's enough words..here are the PICTURES
