A Fine Day In China

May as well just talk about the first day for now. Well, firstly, had to wake up at 2:00 am, which is too damn early. Took bout an hour or so to get ready, and another to get to the LCCT, which left me 45 minutes to do nothing. Mostly texted Adri and wandered about, till I spotted Charlie and Stuart in McD, then went back to doing nothing.
Jie arrived a while later, and then Ling, then it was basically just a whole flurry of the rest.
Check-in and boarding is all boring stuff, so yeah. On the plane, it was a 4 hour trip, so it was mostly sleeping and eating, seeing as the Sudoku had already been solved. Nasi lemak was alright, but the sambal sucked.
Getting there, we met Susaaaaaaan, Alton and the rest of the Dragonfly crew. Then we found out that we were hiking almost immediately after going to the hotel. D: Que muddy roads and unpacked bags.

After getting to Moon Hill, fun little game of tossing the ball along with naming dudes. Then the climb. Got tuckered out after bout 20 mins. Damn. But got there sooner or later. Then we found out that we had further to climb. Compared to what just happened, this was hard. OBS was a piece of cake compared to this. Tons of mud, slippery rocks, all to get to the top of a mountain where you can hear echoes.
Coming down was worse. Far more slippery, and it started to rain. Caught Jie a couple of times, or at least I did.

But hey, it was all fun. Got back to the hotel, showered, changed, had the girls comment on my (and the others') hygiene. Then started planning for the next day with the kids. Appears that we changed group composition, so I joined up with Martyn, Kenny, Stuart and Josh, kicking out Swai Ge in the process. After a ton of planning, we went on to the bizzare and embarrasing demo of what we'll be doing tomorrow. After that humiliating episode, we went to bed.

Yes Adri and Jie, I did brush my teeth.
