Hey people! so i came back from yunnan last sat, 4+ in the morning and i seriously had a lot of fun (a.k.a the best overseas trip ever!)
FYI this wasn't some trip that felt like a useless holiday to escape the busy life in Singapore. It was more of a character development cum CIP trip. And oh boy did it build character in us.
Honestly, this trip didn't feel like it would do me any good at the start but after actually going through it, it seriously changed my perspective on the way i viewed China.
I've always thought of China as a country that only produced "cardboard" buns and melamine contaminated food... really judgmental, i know. sorry! Really trying my best not to "quick judge" things or people anymore! :) But right now, i think China is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Anyway, back to building character in us. How in the world did it do that? Well no words can really describe it but i'll give it a shot. We weren't leaders at first when we went there but when we came back we were. :) We were taught how to serve others before ourselves and getting greater satisfaction in doing so. We were taught how to toast our elders before eating(that was the fun part!). We were taught to humble ourselves not only in the presence of the no-so-fortunate people but to everyone else. We were taught many things, but the one that we'll always remember, was how to be a leader. A few photos to brighten up your day :) Nighty!Goofballs. look at that one in the middle, tsk tsk tsk.

Lijiang Old Town, with a few new buildings in the back :)
Lijiang Old Town, so pretty!

Here's a painter under a bridge, painting another bridge in front of him, that painting awesome! i bet he's like some famous painter in hiding haha :)
On the bus, Xi Shua Shua!
On the way down from a Tibetan Temple, really high up! (IG3!)Mr Fadzel/Carebear! You can be a leader!
