24 - Going on holiday! But, what about the blog?

Yipes, I've literally spent a whole day blogging. I have to go to dinner too.

So, where is the Hatred King going this winter? Any Hong Konger would start off with just "China", without going into further detail to specify where in China exactly. Why that is, I don't know, but anyway, I am going to Sichuan, the red-colored province in the map. Anyone who watches the news will know there was an earthquake that hit Sichuan in May, killing nearly 70,000 people.

All quakes aside, Sichuan is also known for its many scenic attractions, a few of which I have pictured below. I hope that I can take photos that are even more overwhelming than these. The exact dates of my travel will be from December 26th to December 31st, meaning I just make it for Christmas and New Year celebrations here in Hong Kong.


Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (More like a zoo, it isn't as creepy as it sounds.)

Jiuzhaigou Valley

Jiuzhaigou Waterfall

Leshan Giant Buddha, stands at 71m tall.

Mount Emei. Clouds, literally, conceal the temples sometimes.

Tell me if you find these Oriental attractions interesting or boring. Then I'll know whether I should talk about it when I get back from it. :)

-----------------------------------------

So, what happens to the blog while I'm gone?

On the 26th, I will be posting a sort of reflection on 2008 right before I leave (which will be fairly personal). Other than that, there won't be anything major. Any posts to be posted while I'm gone will be published automatically so we'll see if I can dig up anything to blog about.

As for Do you hate it too?, the plan is entirely different. I will include that plan in tomorrow's post for that blog. For now, hope you're enjoying your holiday. I won't be back 'til Christmas, but that will only be for a short Merry Christmas greeting. Eat well, sleep well, make your last week of 2008 worth remembering!
