trip to hangzhou one day and only

1061 views. 2011-5-1 12:28 |Individual Classification:from the bottom of my heart

with the sun rays shining from my lovely window , the whole room instantly cannot hide its happiness , reflecting the radiance on my face , i feel something in front of my eyes so bright . All at once , it occurs to me that a new day is coming . grab my phone and watch the time ,oh , it is 10:00AM. what has happened yesterday at this time once again replays in my earmind .­

                                                          flying to the train station ­

due to sis's working extra time on May 1st , so bro-in-law planned very ahead . we should have 3 days trave to hangzhou , sight-seeing on the spot the first day , park-playing the second day and clothes-purchasing the third day , but involving with work problem , we had to change 3 days into only one day travel and compress our desires to the least . to reduce our budget , bro booked the ticket at 6:30am on the May 1st , what happened in the following is , i suppose now , and to others , like a joke , at least can be counted as a legend story in a fairy book . to catch the earliest train , bro-in-law negociated with his alam clock ahead of time , but maybe his alam clock 's working over time always , and this time he was on strike . receiving his companion 's phone call at 5:50am , he shouted with the shocking voice "T-I-M-E is up ", and all of us sat on the bed quickly in a conditioned response 's way . rarely seeing taxi , out we rushed toward under way station . several transfering line's , i couldn't remember how long we ran on that day regardless of my dysmenorrhea , finally we reached the train station . however , to our great dismay , before  we reached there, the train had left 10minutes . ­

                                                         killing evil time on the train ­

so we bought another train's tickets, all the ticket with seats has been solt out , we had no choice besides this train , or else we had to wait for another two hours . we got on the train elbowing our way and found the corridoor betwixt the two coaches a good place to stand , coz all the seats are filled with people . we went to the buffet coach . and the PIC there with the huge body size said to us , while his eyes looking down upon us , how many potions of breakfast do you want ? six out of seven people said no , thanks . and he said with eyes bursting into anger " no breakfast , no seat ". and therefore , we said we each had one . after ages---long , long wait ,  our breakfast served with no spoon , no chopsticks , and at the first sight of our breakfast , our appetite was badly spoiled . there is only a steam bum with several pieces of salary above , and surpringly , another bow of so-called porridge , some of us stirred it , we saw less than ten small particles of rice floating on the soup.we smiled at each other wryly and couldn't utter a word . foget mentioning , an egg in the dishes also . we each had but the egg at the cost of 15yuan for breakfast  .after breakfast time , we were forced to go back to where we were before going to the buffet coach , the corriage between the two coaches . still worse , i felt unbearable pain from belly as the punishment of running strongly in order to catch the tight-scheduled train .i was almost on my knees with my eyes closed so as to easily sleep and forget that pain . it seemed that it took a century , we finally got to hangzhou .­

                                                       walking out of the earth        ­

stepped out of the train station , we bargined with the cab . coz the taxi was not allowed to reach the tourist spot but the private cars and sight-seeing buses with the extravagant fees , we didn't know for what the goverment had those strange rules and regulations , and to the reality , we had no choice to adopted to it , coz that is not in our power to make any changes but adaptations . so we decieded to take the shuttle bus and found our ways to the west lake and leifeng tower . three hours standing on the shuttle bus , we went out of it and began groping our ways. by the onsider's  pointing , we went as they suggested , wow , even the bush road was too long to see the end . we were exposed to the sun ,tired and disspointed , frankly , me and sis , were exactly in desperate hope though , but taking others into account , we didn't show our feelings for fear of spoiling their fun . after walking long enough , we saw the west lake waving towards us with her warm huge waves and cool wind blowing on the lake . we were in the ecstay of joy . had a short break , we got under way .the sudi , dyke-dam was too long the see the other end , but to our disappointment , it was just a dam , and the perface was so ugly , like a centuries-old falt road , not at all like the overall picture appeared on the TV , and on the Madam White Snake either , what we saw right there was no better than what we had long expected long before , and our disappointments met the atmost downs at that instant .soon afterwards , all our hopes fell on the leifeng tower , we were longing for a surprise , so we took on the sight-seeing bus , no longer wanted to care about the cost , maybe treat all this as a way giving vent to negative feelings and anger, about half an hour's drive , we reached leifeng tower . we went in with the tickets which didn't in the least cover the value . astounishingly , there is a lift leading to the half tower . a question mark creeped up in our mind , is that the alleged leifeng tower ? ­

                                                                 being dying to go back with the fast pace

we took the sight-seeing bus go back to the train station , the driver told us there were few stops left to the train station , but what he said was far from the truth . it took us about three hours in fact .and the bus was so bumpy with the crooked road , more likely , we couldn't say against our consciousiness , we very much enjoyed the one day trip to hangzhou , but it was kind of ordeal to us , i suppose . and the weary expressions hung on our faces.when we reached the train station , all the seat tickes were out of stock , that means , we had to stand about two hours like the way we went to hangzhou in the morning .on the way , i thought so much . i finally comprehend the the feelings " the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence ". but actually , the grass is not surely better than that in the thise side .

sorry to know that you had a bad experience traveling to and seeing sights in hangzhou. maybe the time you chose was not good. labor day is always a bad time for traveling esp to the so-called hot places. too many people would always spoil the holiday, no matter how attractive the place is.

From your bad traveling experiences, maybe staying at home is better than traveling during public holidays.

It seemed that really bad day for you all from your words ,maybe you have to think two times when you get a plan to go out for a trip in next public holidays,I assumed that you must think of that how good the scene it wil be if just stay at home on the soft sofa in from of the TV with a cup of good tea,I have many some experience of the trip with you,but how can you to know that if you don't do that,so have to regret, next time you can get a more good plan of your trip and more control of it,good luck

ya , i agree with you on one hundred percent . but it is likely that i was too negative about this trip to hangzhou , at least i saw the west lake and leifeng tower , if i hadn't been there , i would have seen those things . the reason caused my endless trouble is my poor plan rather than things around me . i should have common sense to avoid the rush hour while traveling , and i am sure this wont happen again . thank you for your kind advice.
