Halla.</p><p>Previous post (<a href="https://eryantierdah.blogspot.com/2021/06/sweden-day-2-skansen-open-air-museum.html" target="_blank"><b><i>here</i></b></a>).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">From Skansen, I hopped on the tram. Next destination would be fika-session at a cafe in Skeppsbro. While on the tram, terus menyesal dengan kebijakkan sendiri when I saw all those beautiful classical buildings along the way. Dari malas menapak, terus semangat mau ukur jalan. Apa barang naik tram. Katakau! Walhal sendiri yang poyo melaung konsep guna travel card sampai lebam. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">And so, I hopped off at one of the tram station. Pastu walkertapaki back to where the harbor started. Suka hati aku tentukan mana awal & hujung harbor. Alhamdulillah for the last minute changed of plan. Else memang regret sampai ke sudah.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><u>24 December - Stockholm</u></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiBUW55pClg6OGzI7XcplvppAn5DQcdQA82Q4qteO1l3wSVQaS4xmMWG4j3IvTcgMichfpEBdwEDIgynCIIAx6h6ccm1gFCUrak4Ky2ULj1GyPTFOQPEC0WBSxi0hZ09R67t8RUgoHXeA/s2048/batch_IMG_20191224_130650.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiBUW55pClg6OGzI7XcplvppAn5DQcdQA82Q4qteO1l3wSVQaS4xmMWG4j3IvTcgMichfpEBdwEDIgynCIIAx6h6ccm1gFCUrak4Ky2ULj1GyPTFOQPEC0WBSxi0hZ09R67t8RUgoHXeA/w640-h480/batch_IMG_20191224_130650.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">These kinda building always 'bring' me back to Medieval time (acah kau pernah hidup zaman tu kan Bie)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimtCdy1RsH2DZtRChqSzglMv1wusrmpXQ9b4_0HlJsGg-VBzlpzBKRfQXgRYXlzyBs0gVe9ndDWZemT_h_4gjxEmNVMkQqyKlNBQdak9CbRcDc_uIThXEEzMzLJ6g4Gnpteev3AUXi60/s2048/batch_IMG_20191224_130714-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimtCdy1RsH2DZtRChqSzglMv1wusrmpXQ9b4_0HlJsGg-VBzlpzBKRfQXgRYXlzyBs0gVe9ndDWZemT_h_4gjxEmNVMkQqyKlNBQdak9CbRcDc_uIThXEEzMzLJ6g4Gnpteev3AUXi60/w640-h480/batch_IMG_20191224_130714-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As I've said in my previous entry.

Halla!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Previous post (<b><a href="https://eryantierdah.blogspot.com/2021/06/sweden-day-2-stockholm-city.html" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a></b>).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And I'm back! Been trying to continue updating this post but to no avail. Too hooked up with so many things e.g shopee, Kdrama, house chores, pinterest yadda yadda. Oh my what MCO has done to me. <strike>Alasan!</strike></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, I honestly don't know how did my shopee cart has more than 100 items in it (various sellers of course). Last time I checked, I only 'want' to buy few things there. Seems fishy, yes? </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, lets just continue where I last stopped. Membebel sangat kaedah intro kau kan Bie.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: inherit;"><u>24 December - Stockholm</u></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally berjaya berdiri depan ticket booths. Aku create route 'bersimpang-siur' di awal pagi. Memang mamai itu adalah aku kalau di awal pagi. Lambat sikit mau warm up.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sudah sampai depan gate Skansen teruslah pi ticket booth. Masa tu memang sudah tahu, on Christmas Eve entrance ticket adalah half price. Mula tu gembiralah kan sebab jimat duit tiket. Sekali dapat tahu almost all of the houses aren't open for visitors, terus rasa rugi bertingkat-tingkat. Live performances which was my main reason of visiting this museum was also close. Later I found out, the museum will resume its normal activity on Christmas Day. Oh my, such late information I received. So, most of the gambar I took memang dari luar bangunan sajo. And some peeking via the window glass. Tu pun banyak flare (tiber kesah pasal flare). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not wanting to drag further my kecewa-ness, I went exploring the museum as planned. To get to the main open-museum area, one has to take the escalator up. Not sure if there's any elevator though.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is another entrance to enter the museum (back door entrance). One of the blogger I know entered the museum via this door.

Imagine lah, landed dari Shanghai jam 545am. Next flight to Stockholm was at 1155am. Dekat 6 jam bangas (read : basi / mereput) di airport. Mau keluar, macam malas sebab backpack (yang aku ndak check-in) boleh tahan berat. Sejak peningkatan umur ni, kemalasan aku untuk ukur jalan bersama anak gajah semakin melangit.

Nothing to do once inside. Airport security memang agak strict prior entering the hall. Memang buka segala kasut, segala jaket.

Alhamdulillah semua ok.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Boarded the plane on time.

Again. Lazy mode struck in right after I finished my last entry (which was 8 months ago?). Let's just say, I couldn't find the momentum to update this site let alone to scribble an entry. It's always the 'something came up soon after I thought I'm in the mood to blog'. Same lame excuses. Gotta find a new phrase to replace that I guess. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyways, I went back to Malaysia few months ago (early Mac) mainly to renew my visa. Because of the pandemic, I self-quarantined myself for 2 weeks upon arrival in Malaysia. Was supposed to be back to Seoul few days after completing the quarantine period but things went completely opposite as to what I've planned. Indeed, Allah is the Best Planner. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hence here I am today, back to my hometown. My ever-beloved Double K City. I got to go back after 3 months (plus) stranded in Kolumpor due to the Movement Order Control (MCO) & Conditional MCO. I celebrated my Eid Aidulfitri with my first cousins (whose tickets to balik kampung got cancelled). </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Initial plan was to go back to Kota Kinabalu end of March (after my 2 weeks quarantine). Because of the MCO, I purposely cancelled my flight ticket. Although I can apply for permission from the authority. I just don't wanna take the risk. I think that's the best way I can do to help curve down the virus' spread. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">2020 indeed is a year full of surprises. Who could have taught Malaysian most awaited Vision (Wawasan) 2020 would be in such way. I remember back then, we associate the image of flying cars filling the space & skyscrapers along with this Vision. Semua serba serbi maju. Gadget melantun-lantun canggih. Just like what we saw in the movies. Robots are created to assist us; human in daily chores (contoh). </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alas, those imaginations / dreams cuma mampu kekal dalam kotak minda jaklah kan. Kapal terbang pun 'susah' mau terbang let alone car. Skyscraper tu oklah ada sudah terpacak few. Reality, memang jauh dari apa yang dibayangkan. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's been months since I last boarded the airplane; to travel. Last year Allah bagi rasa puas-puas. Every 2 - 3 months, naik kapal terbang & menikmati suasana negara orang. This year, Allah suruh 'rest'. Bersyukur sebenarnya, at least I have memories to cherish. Sudah pernah menjejak & merasa. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bab kes makin naik, TMCO, EMCO, itu ini...aku memang avoid to discuss in public. Lagipun dari bebel benda yang tidak contribute apa-apa, baiklah diam. Jaga diri & orang tersayang jak, easier that way. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ndak tau apa motif suddenly feeling the urge to log in this site. Pastu siap published new entry kan. Sebenarnya baru mau panaskan enjin. Niat mau sambung cerita my China Trip (yang sudah bertahun berlalu itu) tapi hard disc tinggal di Seoul. Semua gambar aku sudah transfer pi dalam tu, maka terkuburlah impian. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe akan update cerita trip Europe 2019. Tu jak yang masih dalam folder handphone ni. Insha Allah, soon. Harap tidak menjadi malas untuk kesekian kali.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Soon ok, soon.

Alhamdulillah slept soundly the whole night. Langsung tiada lawatan pi toilet di tengah malam. Pagi bangun awal & lepas breakfast ala kadar di bilik, off we went out. Today itinerary is the highlight of our stay in Zhangjiajie. Purposely stop sini pun sebab memang mau pigi tempat ni. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initial plan was to go to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park where the movie Avatar was filmed. But because it was too complicated to go (according to our planner; Ms Jea), we chose Tianmen Mountain National Park instead. Ndak pa janji mountain kan. Mau 'hiking' <strike>via cable car</strike> katanye.</div>

Queue ndak lah lama mana sebab sibuk bercerita. Sambil cuci mata tengok orang tapi ndak bersih mana pun mata hitam ku. Gituuu. Masuk dalam cable car together with 4 other Chinese.

I don't know how to express how thrilled I was upon getting down from the cable car. Dalam cable car tu pun sudah menggelinjat. Apa lagi bila sudah menjejak ground. Truly in fantasy land!</div>

Just so you know, winter has always been my favourite season. Even before I got to experienced winter myself. Gitu level kepoyoan aku kan. Hence it was of no surprise I acted like a little kid upon setting my feet on the snowy land. Joyous enough to landed myself on the flight of stairs. Dalam melompat happy + wow endlessly, suddenly gedebuk. Seketul nangka telah gugur. Luckily no one was around except us two. Ndak tau lah kalau ada yang camouflage as tree kan. Duh!</div>

Ni Hao!<br />
<br />
Previous post <a href="https://eryantierdah.blogspot.com/2020/02/china-day-8-xian-to-jingmen-by-train-en.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i>here</i></b></span></a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><u>20 Jan 2016</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Zhangjiajie, Hunan China</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our train from Jingmen (departure time: 732am) departed on time. Kali ni memang sengaja pilih hard seat (yang memang locals selalu opted) sebab perjalanan ndak jauh. Jea & I agreed to only buy hard seat ticket for journey less than 5 hours. Itulah cara paling berjimat & efficient for us. Alhamdulillah, memang berkesan. Banyak dapat jimat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
View along the journey was awesome but I was too lazy to take out the camera. Getting an aisle seat does have its own disadvantage (sometimes). Ni memang bukan aku pilih seat, auto assigned. Jadinya, tabah. 'Pinjam' tingkap orang seberang untuk menikmati view. And sambil cuci mata tengok jiran seberang seat juga. Ehem. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the funny part would be the locals expression the moment we entered the train. Semua macam berkelip non stop; terpesona tengok dua ketul alien jelita naik carriage marhaien. Gitu assumption si Err. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Hard Seat (2 pax) : CNY 163.00 (RM 48.50 per pax)</b></span></div>

Dalam sejam journey, datanglah train attendant tolak cart. Jual food & drink macam dalam AirAisa tu. Both of us still ada bekalan bun so we didn't buy anything. Kenyang cuci mata jak si Err sebenarnya. And masa ni juga merasa pengalaman inspected by police officers; on the train. Sebiji macam dalam C-drama oii. Kalau ndak silap ada 3 CIDs, masuk each carriages & randomly checking on passengers & their luggage. Sampai row kami, diorang passed by jak. Sebabnya malas mau complicated-kan keadaan yang bakalan berayam-itik aku rasa. Yalah kami jak pun aliens dalam gerabak masa tu. Punah harapan tau. Walhal both of us sudah ready mau tunjuk our ID.</div>

At first memang a bit surprised upon seeing the town. Ingatkan pekan koboi kecil jak kan. Sekali tengok. Eh complete ada mall, apartment tinggi melangit, double lane road. Terus ketuk diri sendiri, tulah akibat ndak buat research awal. Masuk second leg of the trip, memang kerja si Jea arranged semua. From purchasing train ticket, to hotel booking, to places of interest, directions etc.</div>

Memang mencabar iman betul tiap kali lalu depan restaurant. Harus perut bergendang buat konsert. Lagi gila bila perut lapar, and hotel pula hilang dari radar. Turned out, Jea hasn't figure out the exact direction to the hotel. She only jot down the information given by the hotel in their page in booking.com. We're already in the right neighborhood just that we didn't know which building. Pula tu semua bangunan tinggi-tinggi, signboard pun haruslah dalam Pinyin. And kami tiada internet to contact the hotel. To make thing worst, Jea saved the address in English but the hotel name in Pinyin. Masalahnya, both of us read NO Pinyin. Huwaaaa</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Masa ni memang sikit jadi naga. Sebab ngantuk, penat, bag berat....and lapar. Elehe, haritu hotel di Beijing pun kau salah jalan Bie oii. Walhal masa tu direction lengkap tapi kau yang ndak fokus. Ngek. So aku pun suruh diri ber<strike>tendang</strike>tenang. Benda ndak settle kalau jadi naga, and hotel ndak akan suddenly appear before you. Aku pun jalankan tugas as assistant. Travel berdua kan, walau sudah agih tugas since beginning...kau kena main peranan juga bila benda begini jadi. Sebab kalau kau tetap harap yang sorang jak mencari, dengan kau-kau sekali lah berpusing in circle. Silap-silap sampai malam pun ndak jumpa hotel. Pfftt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We stopped by at few hotels, tried to ask the location to our hotel. Ada yang awal lagi geleng laju, some did try to help but because the address was in English therefore they cannot help much although ada nama hotel. Too many hotels jadinya diorang memang lah tiada kerja menghafal nama each hotels. Sikit lagi mau give up masa tu, mau cancel & walk in any hotel. Tapi sebab sudah bayar depo, by hook or crook kena jugalah cari. Maka bermula lah sesi membanding ejaan nama hotel yang kami ada with the hotels name on the signboard. Gigih ok periksa each signboard. First time in life, aku try baca Chinese characters. And alhamdulillah, Allah bantu musafir dua ketul ni. After nearly an hour searching...we finally found our hotel. </div>

Pastu sajalah gatal tanya one of the staff if we can have a look at other room. Kunun mau bilik selain English Theme tu. Dasar kan sempat lagi perangai gitu muncul. The only room available is the Hello Kitty room. Ok, masa ni aku sudah berbunga sebab bilik pink. But when he told us why he didn't give us the room; we immediately agreed to just stick to our current room. I forgot what the reason was but it was enough to make us changed our mind. It has something to do with the bathroom if I'm not mistaken. Was it outside or was it clogged. Yang penting, laju dua ketul tu ndak jadi tukar bilik. Padan muka, jadi cerewet lagi.</div>

Syukur. Dalam risau kebuluran, rupanya wujud kedai halal di Zhangjiajie. Kenyang melantun dinner malam tu. Terus pandang sepi maggi & segala buns. Tapi sempat jak aku supper dengan bun malam tu. Forever perut tong drum.</div>

Before tidur, aku sempatlah membebel bilik tu extra sejuk. Pastu siap boleh dengar orang lalu lalang berborak di jalan. Katil aku tepi tingkap, clear sangat lah segala bunyi nan bising tu. I can deal with the noise but not the cold. Pastu aku pun selak langsir, rupanya si Err bijak bestari lupa tutup tingkap. No wonder lah sejuk semacam. Pasrah jak Jea dapat travel partner extra bijak macam si Err.</div>

And so dari Terrocotta Museum balik hotel naik bas lain. Not as cosy as the one I took earlier that morning. Journey pun macam lagi lama (longer route). Apapun, selamat sampai hotel before check out time. Alhamdulillah.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jea pun sudah ready when I got back. And she had half-recovered from the mild fever. Double Alhamdulillah. Lepas aku packing lebih kurang, off we went to the train station. Before tu sempat singgah bank & withdraw duit sebab poket si Err makin nipis. Pinjam kad Jea, I didn't bring any card with me (hatta IC pun). Bijak kan??</div>

Kali ni naik train jam 4pm. We're gonna spend the whole night on the train. This time Jea managed to grabbed the hard sleeper seats for us. Panic kau sebab weeks prior this trip, almost all seats were sold out. After few times trying, akhirnya dapat juga. Kalau sudah rezeki kan. Pengsan lah kalau dapat hard seat as the journey will take approximately 13 hours. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Mengalah sama Jea, was supposed to have the middle berth tapi sebab minah tu still unwell I took the upper berth instead. Still, unaware of the consequence later that night. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Right after departing, I went to the washroom to get changed. Didn't take any pictures of the water dispenser & toilet / washroom as they look the same as in the previous train we rode. Jama' atas katil jak, tabahlah kena duduk+bend 40' sebab memang ndak boleh duduk tegak. Then, dinner. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Later, sempatlah chit chat sama mamat sebelah katil. He's from Beijing, and he speaks good English although having learnt it only in the university. He never get the chance to go outside of China. Tapi gigih practice his English skills; every time jumpa foreigner he will try to talk to them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Actually...I was already sweating & starting to feel nausea & dizzy. Signs of claustrophobia. Yes, you read that right. Confined place suffocates me. And maybe, he noticed that hence he started talking to me. Just to get me distracted. Alhamdulillah it worked. We talked about a lots of things, well it's literally more to him 'explaining' about China & its people. Me = listening side; which I enjoyed because I got to know a bit more about the Chinese i.e why they are always in hurry; something I've been pondering ever since I arrived in China. He wished me good night after seeing me yawning few times. Not that I was sleepy honestly, but that's me being me. Memang sejenis habit menguap bila malam+atas katil walhal bukan ngantuk betul pun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I can't remember what time I drifted to sleep. Sebab sempat edit gambar bagai lagi malam tu. What I know, I woke up in the middle of the night. Panic attack! I remember vividly how I crawled to the end of the bed, and mouth breathing. I was gasping for air. Heart pounding. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Turned out, the train was stopping at one station....and the air conditioner was turned off. I was already starting to have stomach cramped & headache (train stopped for about 10 minutes), and already thinking of calling Jea out loud when I heard the engines started. Fuh! Just in time. Else memang confirm berdrama di tengah malam di bumi China. I was back to breathing normally soon as the train starting to move slowly. What an experience betul lah. Masa tu memang terus bagitau diri sendiri, no more upper berth after this Bie. Aku rasa soft seat tu way better than upper berth. Kalau lower or middle tu boleh compromise lagi, tapi upper memang big no-no lah. Rasa ceiling train tu hempap aku. Huhuhu alhamdulillah nothing serious happened. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I went back to sleep not long after that. Super sound asleep. We arrived Jingmen Station 30 minutes passed 5am. </span></div>

Assalamualaikum. 안녕!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b><u>5 Feb 2020</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I went to Jeonju earlier this month, with a friend of mine; Zu. It was a only a day trip from Seoul. My second time here (went there with my cousin in 2016) & first time for Zu. So basically, si Err jadi guide ndak bertauliah that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Will update about that trip some other times. I am still adamant to the idea that I shall publish my post accordingly (by tarikh kejadian lah kiranya). We'll see how long that remains unbend. Hah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, we reached Jeonju a bit early since we departed Seoul (Nambu Bus Terminal) at 8am. Journey took approximately 3 hours including an RNR stop. We went straight to the Hanok Village upon arriving. Taking the public bus; by the way T-Money is accepted in Jeonju so you don't have to buy different transportation ticket / card if you already have it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Had vegetarian lunch at a bibimbap restaurant near Jeonju Jeondong Cathedral, before going to the mosque to performed jama'. We hopped on the bus #58 from Jeondong Cathedral.Hanok Village bus stop & got down the bus at the 11th stop (Junior Chamber bus stop). Another 4 minutes of walkertapaki to reach the mosque. Easy peasy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b><u>Direction </u></b>:</span> From Jeondong Cathedral, you can also take bus <b>#55, #56, #57 </b>(~24 minutes journey). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
No one was at the mosque when we entered the main door. While taking my ablution, I heard two men talking outside. In Arabic. Met one of them when I came out of the ablution area. We gave salam to each other; and I went upstairs right after. First floor are for the men while women prayer hall is on the second floor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The mosque / masjid looks a bit run down. Especially its ceiling (interior & exterior); paints are slowly peeling off. We saw lots of boxes inside the mosque some are sent from Seoul Mosque. Some labelled with 'Holy Quran' & 'Islamic Teaching'. I reckoned the mosque is undergoing a refurbishing work hence the untidiness (things all over the place).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Even the ablution area smells paint fume. Disorganized cleaning / renovation tools in the storage room & the lights aren't working. Apart from that, the ablution area is super clean. As for the prayer hall (women area), there are boxes lining up the side wall. Also some carpets, mattress and luggage containing clothes. There was no heating in the mosque so we didn't stay long. Tried to connect the heater fan but the outlets weren't working. Or maybe the fan was broken. Zu was already shivering due to the cold (it was winter some more) so we immediately exited the mosque after I finished my prayer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">We took the local public bus back to Jeonju Intercity Bus Terminal where we departed for Seoul that evening. Alhamdulillah we safely reached Seoul 3 hours later.</span></div>

Assalamualaikum. Ni Hao!<br />
<br />
Previous post <a href="https://eryantierdah.blogspot.com/2020/02/china-day-7-great-mosque-of-xian-china.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i>here</i></b></span></a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><u>19 Jan 2016</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Xi'an, China</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our 8th day in China. Alhamdulillah the night before tidur lena. Walau tidur a bit late than usual, I woke up early. Bersemangat sebab tempat tujuan harini was the 2nd highlight of our Xi'an trip. Actually aku yang excited aktiviti Day 2 ni. I've been aiming to go here eversince I found out about this place few years back. So sila lah faham keterujaan sis. I stopped few times while updating this entry; suddenly got the urge to layan documentary of this museum in youtube. And later, sambung layan The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor pula. Perangai betul.<br />
<br />
Anyways...<br />
<br />
That morning, while I was getting ready Jea told me that she wasn't feeling well. Few days of cold weather (and snowing in between) has taken its toll on her. She excused herself from going to the museum. And so it's gonna be a solo journey for me to Terracotta Army Museum; located around 1.5 hours away from our hotel.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974 by accident; by farmers digging a water well during the dry season. At first, he taught he had dig a hidden temple. Which was already bad news. And if it's a grave, that will be even worst as that will ruin the locals fengshui (in other words; gonna bring bad luck). What they didn't know was that's actually the most important archaeological finding in China for the past hundred years.<br />
<br />
In fact, it is one of the most extraordinary discoveries. Further excavation works soon find more terracotta shards. All smashed after being more than 20 centuries underground. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Very little information (almost nothing) about the Qin Empire until the Terracotta Army was uncovered. How was it possible to combine all those technological knowledge, resources & manpower needed; and to do it quickly...are among the questions raised about Qin Empire. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of China. He started modest by ruling Chin; a small state with big ambitions to conquer all its neighbors. 200 years before the rise of the Roman Empire, he ruled China.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>
Why did he built the Terracotta Army? </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Qin unified China; he took those disparate states with different languages & writing systems; and forced them all BE CHINESE. But, Qin was also a cruel tryant. Thousands of people suffered & died under his regime. He's been accused of massacring prisoners of wars, burning books & slaughtering his critics. He believed even if he died; he still carry his life in the underground kingdom. Hence he built the necropolis where he brought everything he had during his life; to the underground kingdom. Qin believed spirits of his many victims would seek revenge in the afterlife, therefore he got the Terracotta Army buried to combat any threat from the underworld. The revenge will be blocked by the immortal force of his ever loyal bodyguards. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Behind those great armies & administration; Qin was actually a mere human being. Still fear of the afterlife, fear of the people he once tortured.</div>

I know this is too long an entry. Mainly doing it for myself; and to those who loves history as well. I kinda enjoyed reading my old posts, simply to refresh my memories & cherish them. Also to remind myself how fortunate I am to be given the opportunities to see the world. Because sometimes I tend to forget about all those rewards from Allah & start complaining the 'hardship' He bestowed upon me. Sigh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Walking out from the museum to the bus stop was sort of pain in the neck. I have to walked passed rows & rows of shops / restaurants. Adalah dalam 20 mins. Didn't stop by any shop as I was chasing time. I need to be back to the hotel by 3pm (luckily check out time was that late). And I need to pack my things as we're leaving Xi'an to another state that night. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Purposely putting this in a single entry. Just because; 근냥.</span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white;">The </span><span style="background-color: white;">Great Mosque of Xi'an </span><span style="background-color: white;">is the largest </span>mosque<span style="background-color: white;"> in </span>China<span style="background-color: white;">.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> An active place of worship within </span>Xi'an Muslim Quarter<span style="background-color: white;">, this courtyard complex is also a popular tourist site. The majority of the mosque was built during the early </span>Ming dynasty<span style="background-color: white;">.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> It now houses more than twenty buildings in its five courtyards, and covers 12,000 square </span>meters<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coming from the Bell Tower, be alert to the signage pointing to Xi'an Mosque on your left. It is rather small hence chances you might miss it is there. Just like us. We made a u-turn (rather long walk) to get to the entrance after walking farther into the street food. Nasib masa tu sudah isi perut with so many makanan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alhamdulillah, we're given the opportunity to performed our jama' here. We're told by the locals we met at the mosque, although the main hall can accommodate nearly 1 thousand jemaah nowadays only as many as hundred come for pray. Sedih jugalah kan. Anyway, they're very welcome towards Malaysians. When they found out we're Malaysians, they nodded smiled & greeted us with salam many times. Subhanallah. Bangga wei jadi anak Malaysia. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We wandered around the mosque after prayer. I was so in love with the combination of traditional Chinese architecture with a bit of Islamic influence. Orang dulu-dulu buat kerja sungguh-sungguh, hence hasil pun bertahan sampai sekarang (of course with Allah's approval). Banyak ibrah boleh diambil from this journey along. </span></div>

Muslim Quarter / Street ni actually dalam vicinity Bell Tower & Drum Tower. Tapi dia paling dekat sama Bell Tower lah. Haritu kitorang jumpa jalan yang betul (setelah sesat) sebab ikut signage for Drum Bell. Insha Allah ndak kan terlepas Drum Bell ni sebab dia tu duk tengah-tengah roundabout. Tersergam nan indah gitu. To get to Muslim Quarter, perlu ikut underground passage. </div>

Since both of us memang dalam level lapar gila, teruslah cari the best kedai for brunch. Tapi macam biasa, aku yang perut Piranha ni mencekik street food dulu (appetizer kataku). This time Jea said she will skip rice; just today. Tu penangan fascinated tengok orang duk buat mee tarik at almost every shops. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Sebenarnya sedap. But tengah makan tu, suddenly rasa macam sakit tekak (itchy to be exact). And Jea indicated the soup has this distinct soapy taste. Not long after, both started coughing. Jea lagi teruk, siaplah mau muntah. We predicted something wrong with the noodles. Kot ler dia buat the night before kan. Or cross contamination perhaps. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Assalamualaikum. Ni Hao!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Previous post <a href="https://eryantierdah.blogspot.com/2020/02/china-day-6-harbin-to-beijing-by-train.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i>here</i></b></span></a>.</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b><u>17 Jan 2016</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b>Beijing, China</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This time we've got our bearing set right the moment we arrived Beijing. Went out the train, and headed straight to the subway station. Considering we'll be taking the train from Beijing Xi (West) Station, we went there first to put our backpacks in the locker. No more confusing between Beijing Railway Station & Beijing Xi (West) Station this time around. Fuh!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Settled with the locker things, we then took the subway to Dongzhimen Station. Today we're going to see with our own eyes the Great Wall of China (Mutianyu). Why Mutianyu you asked? Well, we learned from too many sources because Badaling Great Wall is the easiest to reach & always the favourite option for travel companies, it could get crowded even in low peak season. We dislike crowded places, hence Mutianyu it is. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Basically this is our <b>route to Mutianyu Great Wall,</b> take note that this trip was in 2016. I got almost all the important information of how-to from my friend; Syieda (<a href="http://syiedasyieda.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i>her blog</i></b></span></a>). She went there Dec 2015, so the information was still valid back then as our trip was in Jan 2016 (only a month gap). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yet I'm happy to share that this <b><span style="color: red;">DIRECTION IS STILL VALID</span></b> because she went back to Mutianyu in 2018 via the same route (<a href="http://syiedasyieda.blogspot.com/2019/09/trip-payung-china-d7-mutianyu-greatwall.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>entry</b></i></span></a>). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Taxi (private car actually) will cost around CNY 20-40 per pax while minivan normally will charge you CNY 30-60. That's what I read online. We tried our luck when a taxi driver approached us. Initially he offered us CNY 40 (us both), but I said we will go with him if its CNY 30. Immediately, sold! He can't be picky though as it's low season & the fact that only 4 people get off from the bus terminal; it was either him or other driver. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was such a marvelous experience. I cannot recite my grateful enough to You, Ya Rabb. Cliche as it may sound; all this while I only get to see this magnificent wonder of the world via movie, blogs etc...and eventually set my own feet upon it in 2016. Walau selalu ambil ringan perintah Dia, tetap ditunai impian aku yang seketul ni. Allahu akbar. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, we took the same route to go back to the ticket counter. From there, we joined another 3 visitors & rented a minivan to the nearest bus stop where we later took the bus No 916 back to Dongzhimen Bus Terminal. At first I thought the minivan will drop us at Huairou Terminal, so siap-siap plan mau early dinner at the halal restaurant I saw earlier. Tapi ntah bus stop mana driver tu dropped kami, jadi cancel lah plan untuk mencekik. Ndak lama tunggu bus 916 muncul, melompat terus semua naik bas. Tiada terfikir pasal makan masa tu sebab takutlah kena conned by the driver kan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alhamdulillah, we hopped on the right bus. Reached Beijing late in the evening (around 6pm). Cepat-cepat ambil subway pi Beijing Xi Station. Walhal our next train to Xi'an jam 9pm! Biar awal; at least ndak kelibut masing-masing di station. Once at Beijing Xi, barulah cari makanan. 'Menanak' ramyeon lagi, and as usual, aku memborong buns untuk bekalan dalam train nanti. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>After so much negotiation with the 'small red taxi' driver (I seriously do not know what it is called until now), we finally agreed on a price. Nasiblah driver lain yang offer harga mahal. We didn't layan expensive price because we know the price range to the train station. Gitu angkuh!</span><br />
<span><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Anyway, we paid CNY 6 for the less than 10 minutes ride. All worth it. Before agreeing, we did inquired the fare from few of the drivers. Semua letak harga ketuk gila since they don't have meter like normal taxi does; until this Ahjussi called us back & asked how much we're willing to pay. And so the rest is history. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Chill dulu as our train was at 9pm sebenarnya. Semangat kan pi train station seawal mungkin. Penat sudah mau mengukur jalan di city nun. We have no plan to go to Snow Town so we do not allocate any budget for it (transportation & entrance). Makanya duduk cuci mata dalam train station. Luckily sunset awal so ndaklah rasa rugi berkampung di station since 4pm.</span><br />
<span><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Sempat tengok 'live' dramas. Budak kecil selamba <strike>dog</strike> buka seluar tepi tangga & kencing. Nasib Jea nampak else memang mendapatlah kami tempias urin since we're sitting on the stairs (just few steps below where he settled his business). Lepas kejadian tu terus masing-masing banned diri dari duduk atas lantai. Adoilah manners & attitude.</span></span><br />
<span><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">We roamed around the station until we found seats near the nursery room. Dekat toilet as well. So sempat tumpang solat jama' dalam nursery room. Ndak lama datang this family of 5. Nenek, cucu-s & her parents. Sebabkan no seat left, they settled themselves on the floor not far from us. Lepas jak duduk, masing-masing keluarkan bekal. Nenek kupas buah, the mother went to wash the vegetables they bought, the cucu-s buka ramyeon, the father rebus telur. Rupanya early dinner!</span></span><br />
<span><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">This scene answered Jea's question when she saw all the vegetables & fruits at the stall earlier. She wonders who will buy them especially the fresh produce. Seeing how this family happily enjoying their dinner, maka tahulah sudah kami. Patutlah selalu dengar. PRC ni campak mana pun memang boleh survive; they are trained well & survival skill diorang memang no joke.</span></span></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: orange;"><b><u>15 Jan 2016</u></b></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: orange;"><b>Harbin, China</b></span><br /><br />
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">So lepas berehat dalam bilik, it's time to go the the venue where they held the Ice & Snow Sculpture Festival yearly. Yesterday, on the way from the train station to our hotel we saw some of the ice sculptures from afar. Masa tu sudah terkinja dalam teksi, excited alkisahnye.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Before keluar hotel, sempatlah tanya receptionist the direction to the festival. Initial plan was to take the public bus. I read online if we already have the details of the right bus number & bus stop, going there is easy peasy. Receptionist as always sangat helpful, sangat details direction dia bagi. Siap tolong kami tulis nama festival & everything we need in a piece of paper (in Pinyin of course).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Maka keluarlah dua wanita jelita with kondifen level paling tinggi. Sampai bus stop, we saw 2 buses with the same number; but going in a different direction. Sudah! Lupa mau tanya receptionist which direction yang akan direct us to the festival. Tunjuk lah cebisan kertas tu sama Ahjussi bus driver. He nodded & bebel in Chinese. Told us to quickly get in the bus. When we reached the 2nd stop, suddenly ada Ahjussi sebelah aku tanya where we're heading because he saw the piece of paper I held. When I told him we wanted to go to the festival, he immediately told u to get off the bus because the bus is going the opposite direction. Meaning that the bus wasn't going TO the festival, but instead coming FROM the festival. Maybe Ahjussi driver tu malas explain panjang (sebab sah ndak faham pun budak dua ketul ni kan) so dia suruh naik jak because eventually dia memang akan pi festival tu pun. Just that kami akan tawaf Harbin City. And that will take almost an hour. Whereas it will only take less than 10 minutes from the hotel to the festival venue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">And we hopped off the bus; just in front of Saint Sophia Cathedral. Berjumpa lagi we'olls. Cuma kali ni dalam terangnya siang hari. Gitu ayat. Alang-alang sudah depan square tu, apalagi posing lagi sekali depan cathedral ni. Baru nampak design & rupa bentuk sebenar. Fe-feeling gothic pun ada.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Pastu both blur apa mau buat. Sebab belum tau macamana kesudahan plan mau pi festival tu. So berlegarlah kami depan square tu. Ambil gambar angle sana sini. Then suddenly datanglah 2 perempuan wearing long padded red jacket, complete with flurry hat towards us. Auw feeling foxy sangat kau dek. Dari tadi sebenarnya sudah nampak budak-budak ni distribute flyer tapi malas mau ambil peduli sebab I speak no Pinyin, remember?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Turned out flyer tu pasal Ice & Snow Festival. Sombong lagi kau kan Bie! And they spoke passable English (macam aku juga ler). Lepas diorang explain dengan bersungguh, aku pun rasa macam ni option paling bagus untuk kami. Although both Jea & I dislike the idea of 'ikut tour'. Time is always the issue. But this time kami give up. Malas sudah mau fikir & cari bus stop. Dropping temperature weren't helping either. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">The package is so worthy (for us that is). Basically, it says include return transportation & entrance fee. Tapi bila recalculate, we actually paid the <b>entrance fee</b> for the ice festival only. Bus tu free. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>RMB 300 (RM 170.00+).</b></span> With this package, we don't have to cari which stop to take the bus, also bus to take us back to the hotel. Memang super berbaloi lah kan. Eventually we agreed to go with the tour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Lepas settled bayar tour tu, they told us we had another 2 hours before the departure time. Mau balik hotel rasa macam malas mau menapak. So we decided to enter the mall opposite to the cathedral. Just to kill time. Lama lah juga lepak dalam mall. People watching, shops watching & also food-watching. We didn't buy anything as we're already full with breads we bought earlier that morning.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Around 5pm, we exited the mall & waited at the said place. Just depan cathedral tu juga. Jadinya dapatlah juga ambil gambar si Sophia ni yang baru lit-lit. Terus fe-feeling macam Disneyland pun ada.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Bus departed on time. Tapi kami tunggu lama at the 2nd stop sebab ada participants yang belum sampai. Adalah dalam 30 minit menunggu. Orang lain dalam bas ada start berbunyi sudah. Konsep aku senang, mau marah siapa? Driver? Dapat apa kalau marah dia? Bukan orang yang lambat tu sepantas kilat sampai. So biarlah duduk diam-diam layan phone. Mesti ada sebab orang tu lambat pun. </span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">And we arrived at the festival after an hour. Orang pun belum ramai. Turun bas, kena walkertapaki lagi. Bila semua sudah ada, tour leader bagi briefing. We have to be in one line at the entrance. We cannot join other line else the ticket will be invalid. Gitulah lebih kurang yang aku faham. We can go on our own; explore the festival once we're stamped by the ticket inspector. </span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit;">Macam biasa, once inside...blur lagi. Both bingung which way to go first. Sebab bijak, we didn't even bother to take the festival map. Bagus kan perangai berdua. Jadinya pasrah jalan tanpa arah tujuan. Janji sudah sampai. Insha Allah jumpa jalan keluar. Oh by the way, we're given 2 hours to explore & we have to gather back with the rest in front of the exit gate. When you join a tour, ni lah benda paling aku gigit kuku. <span style="color: red;"><b>Time. Limited. </b></span>Tapi sebab kau sendiri yang malas kan, so sila simpan segala complain.</span></div>

Therefore to make them want to help you more, do a favor for them. Make it easy for them by preparing everything in words they can read & understand.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lepak sini around half an hour juga. Decided to call the night off because it was getting colder. Rasa sampai menusuk tulang. On the way balik sempat singgah street stalls selling all kind of winter wear. Memang berbaloi beli di Harbin (as suggested by Nily). Murah melantun. I bought a maroon muffler & gloves. Still using them untill now (it's been 4 years but they haven't gotten worn off).</span></div>

Ni Hao!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Previous post (here).</span><br />

<b><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><u>14 January 2016</u></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;">Beijing, China</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Terjaga around 5am, teruslah ndak sambung tidur. Our train to Harbin will depart at 6am. So dalam sejam tu we take turned pi bersihkan diri. Settled semua, breakfast. Senang bila ada hot water, semua boleh jadi. Nasiblah memang ada bawa makanan dari Malaysia. Sedap-sedap makan, suddenly....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tu diaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Terus mati selera serta merta. Ahjumma pun! Agak-agak lah kan mau mengkahak. Comel sudah dia duduk nun di depan aku, pegang cermin ala Cinderella sambil sikat rambut Rapunzel dia tu. Boleh pula acara selingan ha! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Buang maggi, sambil bagi jelingan tajam sama Ahjumma. Nan hado dia berperasaan bersalah. Sekian jaklah niat mau tunjuk annoyance kau Bie. Diorang memang sejenis ndak kisah pun.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kemas-kemas bag, terus kami pi waiting hall. Ok, manusia adalah ramai. Nasib ada vacant seats for us. Duduklah melepak tunggu bersama jemaah lainnya. Semua harus buat hal sendiri. Pastu nampaklah pelbagai gaya manusia yang bakal se-train dengan kami. Siap ada yang bawa guni; wondered pi manalah Ahjussi tu gigih mengangkut tu semua. Masa tu nampaklah kegigihan & kerajinan orang diorang ni bekerja. Hatta sudah tua membongkok, masih lagi mengerah keringat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, remember I mentioned that our departure time to Harbin is at 6am? Ok, masa duduk melepak tu kami relaks lagi sebab baru 530am. Panik aku muncul bila aku tengok jam & lagi 10 minit before departure. Kiri kanan semua al-relaks lagi. Aku & Jea jaklah yang macam cacing kepanasan. Bukan murah oiii train fare boleh sesukati beli baru. Everything went through my mind at that time. What if jangan cakaplah. Beribu lemon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if we already missed the train</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if we waited at the wrong waiting hall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if we're actually the only two yang belum board the train</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if the platform is very far we didn't managed to get in the train on time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if, what if</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tengok information board, memang matched every details printed on our ticket. Gate depan pun masih ada penghalang merah. Ticket inspector pun still leisurely lepak at his station. Permainan jiwa apakah ini?? And not long after, ada announcement & semua pun automatically bangun serentak. All going to one direction; to the gate. Gila kentang level kondifen sistem di China. We later found out, gate will ONLY open 5-10 minutes prior departure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tapi memang patut pun diorang kondifen gila. Although gate buka lambat (according to my standard), ALL passengers managed to embark the train enabling an on time departure. Gila wei. Passengers bukan sikit, and carriage bukan 4-5 biji jak. Salute betul sama semua staffs. Committed, efficient. *clapclapclap*</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We bought our ticket from <a href="https://uk.trip.com/?locale=en-GB" target="_blank"><b>CTrip</b></a>. Chose the hard sleeper because the ticket fare for soft sleeper exceeded our budget & seat wasn't a choice. We know we're not going to have a good sleep at the railway station hence we need a sleeper seat. Perlu tidur; at least for a few hours during those 11 hours journey. Else memang jadi harimau lapar lah masing-masing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beli train ticket di China memang main gamble. You cannot choose your berth nor seat. Ikut nasib mana diorang letak kau. The upper berth, the middle or the bottom. And chances for you to be separated with your travel partner is also there. Like what happened to Jea & I. Terpisah 2 gerabak. Pasrah jaklah. Bukan juga tidur sekatil ngan strangers kan. Paling haru pun, bakalan dapat 'roommates' yang 'over wangi' level ndak boleh bincang *jeling Jea*. Kesian minah tu, terpaksa tahan seksaan hidung.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Gila ah sefamily semerbak macam seribu tahun tak mandi wei. Dari tadi aku lepak kat kerusi je. Nak muntah bila naik katil. Sekali ngan mak dia semerbak."</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After mencekik, Jea went back to her carriage. Mau try tidur katanye. Maybe adalah tu idea bernas baru keluar dari kepala lepas makan. Aku pun sambung tidur lepas lunch tu. What else to do, right. View di luar pun memang Narnia jak. Nothing much to see & do but sleep. So, tidurlah kan.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We reached Harbin at 5pm. Keluar dari train, I just followed where the crowd went. Rasa macam eh jauh juga arrival terminal ni. Sekali rupanya terus jak keluar station. Berangan lah mau ber-arrival terminal bagai. Masa ni aku sudah risau. Macamana mau cari si Jea ni. Sudahlah ndak tau dia carriage mana. Pastu memang tiada berjanji mana mau jumpa bila sampai. Bijak bestari kan kami.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I applied the most logic method when you want to be spotted in the crowd. Aku berdiri tempat yang tinggi sikit. Masalah problem bila kau rendang. Memang tiada perubahan lah berdiri mana sekalipun. Tetap maintain rendah juga. Tapi aku tetaplah maintain kondifen. Berdiri sambil bertinting. Alhamdulillah, Allah made it easy. Jea berjaya nampak aku. Forgot what she told me on how she managed to spot me. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then cepat-cepat kami berlari pi taxi stand. Yang teksi sapu memang banyak di tepi jalan but I read from the internet they tend to charge 10x higher than the registered taxi. Pasal tu diorang akan target tourist jak. Nasiblah kali ni si Err ingat note dia tulis. Else, confirm melabur duit sama driver teksi sapu. I tried asking one of them...showed them the hotel address. Terus kena quote CNY 100 (RM 59.00). Agak-agak lah kan. Our hotel is less than 10 minutes walking from the station. Sabit sejuk & malas cari jalan jak, tu kami gigih queue for taxi walau direction aku sudah save siap-siap dalam phone.</span></div>

Upon agreeing, immediately Jea & I hopped on the taxi. And zasss! In 5 minutes, sampai. Driver turunkan kami di seberang jalan hotel. And we only paid CNY 9 (RM5.30). As per shown on the metre reader. Bersyukur sangat ndak jadi mangsa ketuk. Gila jauh beza CNY 100 & CNY 9!</span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Lepas settled urusan check out from the guesthouse, aku pun laju gerak pi airport. Flight jam 625pm by China Eastern Airlines bound for Frankfurt tapi transit Shanghai for 4 hours. Masa keluar guesthouse tu baru 2pm. Memang sengaja pi awal sebab aku sejenis cepat panic attack when it comes to flight & stuffs. Kalau orang ulang-ulang tanya aku jam berapa flight, pun aku boleh gelabah seribu macam. Lagi kalau sampai lambat di airport. Pengalaman lalu diulang jangan. Serik oi!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">And so aku sampai Incheon Airport T1 around 330pm. Terus aku pi kaunter check in walau belum buka. Was among the earliest to queue. Nasiblah information dalam website Incheon Airport ni accurate & updated. Else, satu kerja lah aku meneka which counter mau kena pegi kan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Around 430pm, counters opened. Sampai turn aku, dengan tiada rasa apa-apa pi lah kaunter. Then kena sign luggage tag. Then, orang kaunter tu (Ms A) told me to put my luggage atas belt. Lepas tu tiba masa dia key in all my details. Duk lah geleng (style Korean bingung), pastu 'sigh'. Adalah few times. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Ndak lama, dia suruh turunkan bag. Explained to me the system cannot detect my name. Therefore ndak dapat print boarding pass. Ok, first aku cool lagi sebab benda ni memang selalu jadi sama aku. <b>BUT</b> usually diorang akan suruh tunggu & helped me fix my name. Biasalah tertunggang terbalik first name last name binti bin segala tu. This time, dia suruh aku call China Eastern sendiri. So, pergilah aku ke kaunter paling hujung where their team leader sat. Call the airlines, and bagitau nama aku salah. Masa tu wakil airlines pelik, apa yang salah sebab semua pun macam yang aku key in when I bought the ticket. Siap lah dia eja each alphabets; E for Elephant R for Roman. Sudahlah nama aku panjang oii!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Wakil airlines double confirmed; betulkah mau tukar nama because I can only change my name one time. N</span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">tah apa yang mau ditukar since she told me my name memang exactly macam yang aku booked. </span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Kalau system still cannot detect, aku kena beli tiket baru. Gitu kau! Terus tiket baru. Boleh bayang macamana gelombang dalam hati aku masa tu? Tangan memang sejuk beku sudah walau Incheon Airport tu al-warm. Rasanya muka aku confirm pucat habis. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">So I went back to the counter. Put my luggage on the conveyor belt once more. Ketak ketuk ketik, Ms A geleng lagi. Masa tu nafas aku turun naik sudah. Ms A told me nama aku dalam system ada banyak slash. Jadi gini katanye nama aku</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Seriously masa tu dada aku sudah berombak. Tinggal mau tsunami jak. Aku ulang between counter team leader & counter check in tu ada lah dalam 7 kali. And so did my luggage. 7x naik turun belt. Tetap Ms A cakap ndak boleh buat apa. Lepas tu dia tunjuk her wrist, telling me I won't make it to my flight sebab 'kes nama salah' belum settle. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From Summer Palace, we took the subway again to Niujie Mosque. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Out from Exit C2, memang both of us ikut instinct saja. Perk of travelling without internet data *smirk*. Akibat kedekut mau invest on wifi modem nor data roaming kan begitulah akibatnya. Google maps doesn't work that well in China either hence bertabahlah masing-masing ikut direction studied prior the trip. And just a bit of TMI, bab arahan ikut south north west memang aku paling failed, sekian. Luckily Jea learned a bit of Chinese when she was in uni, dapatlah baca few Chinese characters on the street signs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alhamdulillah Allah mudahkan kerja. We found the correct route to Niujie Mosque in no times. Thank you Jea for explaining those Chinese characters walau aku blurred kambing malam tu.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Niuijie Mosque is located on the Ox Street (Niujie Street) hence it is also known as Ox Street Mosque. It is the most historical & majestic mosque in Beijing. It was first built in 996 & had undergone numerous refits & extensions. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was already passed Isya' when we arrived. The gate was about to close but when the mosque keeper saw us, he asked us if we're Malaysian. Immediately after we said yes (suara bangga gila ok), he said we can come in but we have to hurry as he has to close the mosque.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I will never forget this phrase he uttered. So proud of being Malaysians we are!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I didn't take much picture inside because it was already pitched black in there. No street lamp or whatsoever except at certain areas. We saw the 10 meters tall Watching Moon tower; which was used by the Imam to observe the position of the moon to determine times for fasting (holy month of Ramadhan).</span></div>
