kk. this was the evidence of me and En En fighting over who should finish the xi gua....ha...really we all quite sick of eating the xi gua...and this was like at 11plus pm...eat xi gua...
yunxin looked so happy with her horse!!!
Fruits bing hu lu....looks nice but not very nice...ha...
always c it on TV...now i really see these selling like an ordinary food....yuckss....
at the grassland! yes, cannot find in sg....
Horseriding was fun but actually i was very scared stiff! Thankfully my horse very tame...Ps cuixian's one....scared her to death man..cos it doesnt listen to instructions....ha...u should have seen ps's face! heex!
i am finally inside the forbidden city! super huge place....Cuixian and i spent 3-4hrs in there and we only finished touring 3/4 of the place!
Cuixian singing!
Our horses!!! i actually chose the white horse as my prince charming...but by some chance, it became someone else cos the trainer said the white horse let a guy take it.... sobs sobs....but ok la i have mine horse....which is very guai!
could u sense my apprehension and fear of horseriding?
Mongolian fare.
Its obvious how contented we are with the food..
This musical fountain place is just so amazing! and mermisrising! but too bad we din really enjoyed it ..cos this was the place where we went and lost Cuixian, Grace and Yun Yun. The taxi dropped them off at another end of the square..! so we spent close to 2 hrs looking for them..then when we convinced ourselves they'd be alright, we went to take pics...this fountain is supposedly to be Asia's highest. Sure looks like it ..
as an illustration of how big we think this xi gua is...ha...really i develop of a phobia of xi gua when i was there...cos we were served many many in a day! eat until scared! but very nice and sweet....quite diffferent from sg one ah...ours are more round..
Us inside the meng gu bao...so coool right? nice experience....inside is very cosy cos they put lots of carpet and cushions..
kkz...ya in the end instead of games, the students wanted us to teach them worship songs...so i asked Grace to help me...woa...this was indeed a first for me...teaching a group of youths to sing worship songs...thank God nv go out of tune! HA...was fulfilling...afterall, just using what God has blessed me...it is indeed blessed to give.
the lao shi(s)!!! The students were so warm...all the lao shis, they make sure we are well-fed and looked after...really very tie xin...see that pot of flowers? 1 student squatted to hold it up for us though we did not request for it....so nice...
kkkz...actually i hesitated whether i should post the toilet here...but since it is part of my experience, i shall also include it...yes toilet there (at the village) is this rectangular hole...no flush system..can imagine the smell right? i shall spare u the gross details...just to let u know i took 2 days to overcome my fear of using it.
i dunno who took this pic! but i suspect is cuixian, cos she likes to take such without-ur-knowledge shots. but in a way i like the way this pic portaryed my feelings too...i cant really recall how i felt then,and what kind of expression that was. all i know is , in this pic i was giving the instructions for the games...and i was on the verge of vommiting blood!! 
This was when Yunxin taught them the pen and paper way of sharing the gospel. Yes, in chinese. =)
I was helping to write the lyrics...in fact i was perspiring all over cos the room was very humid and hot...but no pain, no gain la! still very happy to be able to serve!
I've never seen an entire stalk of sunflower before....so nice right?
thats what we cover ourselves with when we sleep...
Fruits! Plenty of them! We had watermelons, peaches, apples, plums...almost everyday after each meal,erm...very good fibre intake..ha.! 
The way to the village...garbage la..pebbles...uneven ground..
we had the chance to wear mongolian costume! 
Yun Yun looked so pretty right? nods..no flower not we pluck one...!
My mischievous acquaintance! So cute la...but very spoilt ..but likes to grab attention....HA... should have seen his funny antics! He sings worship all out a sudden...ha..and very loudly too! SO ADORABLE.
Ha...bet we will not find this signpost in SG!!!
oh, the scenery taken from inside the train. It was a super long 12 hrs ride!!!! But nice scenery towards the end...! how many miles have we travelled man.....
Food at the Ah Yi's place! All we never seen or eaten before...but quite nice...can adapt.. i know they have this flour, sugar pastry that Cuixian and i tried..which was very yummy! why nv sell in Sg? overall, the food we had was nice! woa...their mutton ma lai steamboat is v good.. really their mutton is very fresh and no smell one!
one of my fave pictures! Ah Yi took us to this park..and we took the chance to enjoy ourselves while we are there!
