Xi'an and the Terracota Warrior

I was trying to make a pause writing about my travels, because this is gonna be the last travel and post with the amazing friendship i made in Guangzhou, Nooooooo!!!

we arrived at the evening to Guangzhou, from Kuala Lumpur, tired and hungry.  So we took a train to Xi'an the next day; something i'll never forget is that we were about to murder Jana, we were supposed to be on the train station half hour before the train leave and i still don't remember HOW we manage to get there 15min before, just imagine a crowded station in China can be, there were no line, no order, and 4 girls pushing and trying to get in, anyway it was a great experience!
Too bad we couldn´t capture that time of our life, it was so stressing and funny.

Thanks vivis for this picture i really loved it, even though i look fat
 
If you are planning to visit this place in the future, please don´t miss this, rent a bike and ride around the city walls, you should also climb the Hua Shan mountain, its really famous there, too bad i couldnt because of the time and weather problem. Sorry i´m not inspired anymore... i miss them so bad...

Is really nostalgic to knew that this was going to be the end, but of course i'm sure our friendship would last forever, no matter how distances we are, deep in my heart i would keep their spaces...  Ok, i'm not gonna cry because i already cried a lot of time before this happened! I'm so grateful for all this, i'll never regret that this happened to me. Just Hope to see you once again.

Ok, i just realized that i should made an album in my post, this is so sad i cannot share much picture with you, i´m gonna improve this as soon as possible. 
Please don´t miss the video, i never realized this happened until i visit this place.

Back to KL for our Flight!

We took the night train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, we got 2 bed and 2 seat ticket, there were no choice.  So we split everything, because the train normally takes around 8 hour to KL, so 4 hours 2 person slept on the bed and the seats and the others 4 hours we switched.
I don't remember exactly at what time we arrived, but it was quit early for our flight, so we went to another mc donald for breakfast and then we leave our bags on lockers and went for a walk looking for something we haven't seen, the KL lake garden, which is really famous for the variaty of birds, well we couldn't see that, we went walking around the garden looking for a peaceful place to rest because of the lack of energy and money. at least we were there!

this was the first place we found, but it wasn't enough for us.
Yay! this is better! good choice Christina!
I find myself lucky to know this place, it was really peaceful and clean, we slept there for hours (sorry i don't remember exactly the time). i never though there were such a beauty place like this, i can said that we ended the travel in Malaysia happy and satisfied.
I recommend those who´s planning to visit singapore and malaysia, you better get your train ticket before and pay for the bed ticket is the best choice you can make!
Speciall thanks for Diana and Christina for the pictures, i was so lazy and tired using my camera...
Xi'An is the next stop, we meet other friends there and the end of mine and dianita's travel. 
 
OH! i wanted to share this picture with you, is not the best quality and the best picture, because it was taken with my phone but the light of the background and the student chatting there look great, i can imagine this picture with a professional camera or a digital one...  This was the last picture i took before going to the train station in Singapore.

From Malaysia to Singapore

The first thing that came to my mind thinking about Singapore was food in a tiny expensive city.  Here we go, we arrived to Singapore from Malaysia, Melaka by bus, i'm not sure if it take us 6 hours to get there or less. I fall deeply asleep the whole way, so i don't remember. When we where passing the border i was so nervous, i was afraid that they'll asked me about a visa to get in (at that time i wasn't trusting the internet, why if they changed something and didn't updated on the internet at the last moment?) Well actually the guy who was checking my passport were also afraid not to find Panama in the list, it was a funny and stressed moment.
When we got in we were a little bit lost, hungry and without Singapore Dollars, how can we take a cap or a bus to our hostal without SGD, poor girls in a rich city!! well that never stop us, we were still alive and together so we walk around to find a bank and get some cash, after the bank we expected to take a taxi, but then this taxi driver told us that the hostal was around 15mins walking, really near!!! in China we walk more than that so that was nothing for us, but of course we got tired because we needed food at that moment.
can you imagine a Mercedez Benz as a taxi in Panama or any other Latin country?
Nice view from the highest pool in Singapore ¨Marina Bay Sands resort¨

Smart Singaporean kid



As you see is a really clean city
We booked a reasonable cheap hostal i mean not the cheapest one but the one that is up to the cheapest one.  well, it was the worst hostal i had ever been, really bad service.
We sleep in a 8 bed mixed room and we were 4 girls in the room, it was really weird to sleep with stranger, specially when they were guys and smelly and snoring. well this wasn't the bad service part it was just an experience, i´ll keep the bad service for myself, sorry.
Oh! i missed the universal studio in Singapore, anyway it wasn't a big deal for me to see that, i just wanted to hang around the city, anyway everything was really expensive for us, and compared to China and other countries, Singapore is one of the richest and cleanest City's in the world.
Fun fact: you cannot chew bubble gum around or smoke. (this is something i heard from someone else, i'm not sure if is true)
Next: back to Malaysia

Malaysia, Melaka

This was my 2nd stop with my amazing friends in Malaysia. We got there by bus from Kuala Lumpur Bus terminal. Before getting into the bus we were already surprise with the Bus Terminal, it was so Beautiful, that much that makes you feel like in the airport, well no... even better!
So, when we got into the bus it was another fairy tale, i mean, the bus was so comfortable, specially the seat, this was better than the first class seat of an airplane!  ok, i know im exaggerating but compare to other long distances bus this was fabulous, even though the distance from Kuala Lumpur to Melaka was just 4 hours.

The best thing here was our host, she gave us a momi aura, i was just missing my mom. She was so nice, explaining how or what we should do on our trip in Melaka, like: be careful with your cameras and your wallet, don´t take so much money out, don´t take your credit card, take care of each other, don´t go around with value stuff, lock it in your room, etc. etc.. She was so nice!  and she also gave us a warm welcome with a delicious Lichi Drink! I´m gonna miss that...

We were looking for food / Walking around the China Town. Fun Fact about the 
China Town in Melaka, they open at 11:00a.m. and close at 5:00p.m. 
i heard that this is the laziest China Town in the World.

Restaurant: Jonker 88 / Delicius traditional Melakan food,  
nyonya laksa (spicy noodle soup) and the famous dessert, i forgot the name.
Melaka flower & music Taxi: is really famous in this town, 
we didn´t ride one because walking was also exiting!


 
This was also one of the funniest thing that happened in Melaka, We paid for our cartoon drawing next to the river in melaka, this guy told us that he was going to deliver our drawing to the hostel by 11:00p.m. yeah we got it but not at time, around 3:00a.m. the host knot on our doors and we received this surprise!   I wasn´t wearing hot pants and showing my belly! so when i got back to the campus in Guangzhou i add something that look like my dress so i can show it to my family and friends!

Next Stop: Singapore!

On the way back to the campus

Voila! nuevamente escribiéndoles, la verdad no he tenido mucho tiempo libre y también me esta haciendo falta el Internet, si "el problemas del Internet" pensé que lo había resulto. Bueno ya falta poco para mi regreso(hahahaha creo que antes de regresar me voy a tener que hacer un post especialmente del internet), Aún así voy a seguir insistiendo con el Internet, ojala y lo pueda tener de aquí a la otra semana.
les voy a compartir unas imágenes que hice no hace mucho creo. Fue una noche de comida "italiana" y aproximadamente 2 hrs de caminata.
Aveces comer lo mismo de todos los días aburre un poco y por eso cada vez que esto pasa buscamos comer comida occidental con las 3B's (bueno, bonito y barato) y para esto esta nuestro famoso restaurante con sucursales en diferentes puntos claves, "Saizeriya". Después de la cena que tuvimos planeamos caminar de regreso al campus. Bueno ya todo estaba planeado de antemano y al mismo tiempo tomar foto alrededor. Aquí les comparto algunas pequeñas maravillas






Este es la famosa torre de Cantón, aquí muchos le llamamos "Tv Tower", pero estoy segura que tiene un nombre formal en chino que tiene algo que ver con la cintura, ya sabrán porque con solo ver su apariencia. Le paso un pequeño dato, esta torre esta entre la no. 7 más alta de todo el mundo, iba a ser un poco más alta, pero el gobierno no lo aprobó. me hubiera gustado tener una foto del cuerpo entero, pero trágicamente solo estoy por el momento con unos de mis lentes que son solo para retratos, aún así no lo niego, este lente toma muy buenas fotos como sea.
