Mt. Emei

Sorry guys that i havent wrote for a few days but that is cuz i was staying on a mountain called mount emei. IT was beautiful, even though it rained at the top so i never got to see what i had been so excitedf or, but it was still awesoem. THe first day i got to chengdu Lisa picked me up at the airport, it was so nice to see a familair face. We came back to le Shan her home town and her parents welcopmed me like family. IT was so nice. The mnorning of the 7th we left in a police car which was her uncles personal driver he took us to the mountain and he arrived about 11 ish and alll day to explore. On our walk in it started to rain and so we pulled out the umbrella which helped but my pants were soaked up to the knees. WE had to just sit it out for a bit until someone from our hotel came to us and directed ut to the hotel. Hotel had a great view, overlooked one of the lakes and was surrounded by mountains. It was cheap too like 60 RMB for one night per person and inclued 3 meals, and they were really good too. The view for dinner was magnificent. Oh and you would all be impressed, not to brag or anything but i am wicked with chop sticks now. WOW!! After supper we went for a quick walk but stayed too long cuz it got dark and we had a bit of difficulty finding our stairs to the hotel. But we managed and then Lisa taught mr to play a chinese game called Majiang, which is kinda like rummmy with dominoes. It was really fun, after a few times with just me and her we then had to invite more people just to laugh at me. THey go so quickl i was always at least a round behind. But by the end and with the help of some of the audience I was yelling out chinese words and winning hands it was a blast.. After a nights sleep on a really hard bed, i could feel the coils of the springs haha, I am gonna love to sleep in huge comfy bed cant wait. but after brekfast which was some steamed bread and rice water or so called porridge which i had to add about a cup of sugar to for some taste i kinda felt bad but thats my sweet tooth, we walked about a million stairs, up to the bus station where we caught a bus, which everything was looking good wether was nice no rain until about 30 min into the drive it started to rain again. But we got to the cable car went right to the top. THe cable car was freaky cuz literally the surrouding view is nothing but white. We are in the clouds. Its 3000m above sea level and nothing to see. Got to the top there is a huge golden buddha which is wehy its called the Golden Summit. I was a lil dissapointed cuz ya couldnt see anythign but still really neat. All around the mountain is pure white, the fog settles between some of the peaks and its just a weird feelign. Hard to breath a bit but i never got sick. All in all it was really good, gives me a reason to come back, i really wanted to see the sea of clouds but not htis time, maybe next time, many years from now. Just ate supper, Lisa's mom is an awesem cook, i never thought i would like chinese food so much, especially after the street food in shanghai, but this was amasing. We ate just pumpkin cooked, and then some vegetable we dont have in canada, and some pork with oinons or seomthing, annd eggs and tomatoes, and some chicken dish, everything was fantastic. Well sorry I put you all through that, had to catch up for the past few days.
