todae was nuts man! the german ger, Katalin n i went for this 8hr hike up to the mountain top!... my stamina totally cannot make it and it was freezing cold... in Inle Lake it's abt 15 to 20 degrees.. at the mountain, it's much worse than tat! i wore 3 shirts still shiver like crazy...
at nite was the worst! probably the worse nite i ever had... both kat n i got diarrhea both at the same time! we onli had a small head lamp between both of us n a small roll of toilet paper.. which is TOTALLY no enuff... so almost every 15 mins we will climb down from the monastery we are staying to shit at the nearby field...FINALLY our toilet paper supply is gone n we still got diarrhea! but i refuse to shit wifout any toilet paper... but my stomach is so pain tat i cant slp until i haf to pop a few slping pills kat brought... she's worse! she vomit n vomit the whole nite!
finally the next morning came n we haf to rush down to the nearest village to get medicine for kat(abt 2 hrs away)...which was realli crazy.. her face was completely pale n she told us she's diabetic...n still haf to tahan my shit coz Burmese dont use toilet paper! so no toilet paper to buy at all! end up problem solved when i use kat's medicine's instruction manual...
hahahaha..tink abt it realli is damn funny n i doubt kat n i will ever forget our horrible ''shitting trips'' , the cool feeling --literally cool---of shitting in the middle of the nite together and the stupidest n dumbest ways to encourage each other to carry on hiking...

First day at Mandalay! n finally i can access my emails n MSN which is incredible... den i juz nice i met the owner of the internet cafe! n he told me tis is probably the onli cafe tat can access the restricted sites as he used several layers to diverting or some sort...
get around teh 3 ancient cities--Innwa, Amarapura, Sagaing... which are the past capitals of Burma.. hired this ex-lawyer as m taxi driver... he is amazing man! his english is superb.. the best so far... n i juz chat wif him non- stop! know soooo much stuff abt burma ... he quits his job as a lawyer coz there is too much corruption n he cant help ppl who realli needs help coz the govt always win or the judge will juz get killed or jailed...
at one of the ancient ruins, i finally saw an ancient coin which belongs to King Mindon Era... the first king to bring coinage to Burma and i bought it at a bargian price but den...... POOM!!! tons n tons of the villagers came to sell me things...i m the onli tourist there so they concentrate all their efforts on me... i m like Jay Chou like dat ,haf to push ppl out of the way to get into my horse cart...i told a ger some ridiculous price for some metal sourviers to get her off my back den she rode a bicycle to chase me n bargain wif me for 10 mins! in the end i juz buy from her at a high price as she was panting n still haf to keep chasing me n bargaining at the same time....her efforts alone deserve something...
on this famous bridge--the Teakwood Bridge, the longest teakwood bridge in the world, i met this little boy who speaks realli gd english...he keeps pestering me to buy some pearls necklace from him..the bridge is realli veri long n he followed me for abt 15 mins which reali tested my patience... so i told him to go find the German guy in front , coz i m not gonna buy anything! den to my amazement....... he told me the guy was French! n already there is an ''agent'' attached to him... incredible... he told me he could speak , german, french , jap ,spainish , english ,italian! siao! n he was not lying when i heard the French in front speaks wif his friend wifout any problem! incredible! end up he gave up selling his stuff to me n we juz chat abt my life in singapore
