Hangzhou - Malaysia (4)

By the time we took a bus to Tunxi from Huangshan and then back to Hangzhou, it was already bout 8pm. We went to Tour'An Hostel again but that day and the next few days, they won't be having water or power. We were really really tired. So the owner of the hostel sent us to the nearest hostel, Westlake International Youth Hostel.

We stayed 3 nights there until we went back to M'sia on the 10th of may. My mum and I were sooo tired that we decided that we didn't want to go anywhere else. So we just relax in Hangzhou, walked around the Westlake, shopping and just chatting with the people at the hostel.

Westlake Hostel.... I really like this hostel cos they employed many students so it was neva dull as there was alwaz someone to talk to... And of cos the manager was super duper friendly... =D

At Hefang street...

I'm so greedy... ;P

Drank with them till late nite... The guy in blue sitting beside me is the manager, Shou Jun and the lady beside me is our roommate Noni, a Turkish who migrated to Australia.

Around Westlake...




On the last day...


Xixi... She is one of the staff at the hostel... She is 22 but noone believes it including me cos her character is sooooooooooo young and cute... =D

Our flight back to Malaysia was 11pm and we touched down the LCCT at 4am. I'm happy to be home but i kinda miss the cool air in Hangzhou and all the acquaintances that i made there. I realised that backpacking is better than following tour because you really got to exeprience their culture. We took their public buses, ate in their local restaurants, walked together with the locals, etc... At the same time, I get to meet alot of people and share my experiences and tips with other backpackers in the hostels... Unlike normal vacations where I come back home feeling refresh and relax, this kind of vacation is really tiring and strain because i have to walk ALOT and sometimes with my big backpack... But it is all worth it as i know i have gain some memorable experiences... =D

Finally ~~~> the end... =D
