time really flies.
last weekend i went to Shandong. to be more specific
Taishan 泰山 - 태산
Qu Fu 曲阜 - hometown of Confucius
it was an awesome trip. friday afternoon we left to the train station in beijing to leave.
one thin im ALWAYS amazed about here is....
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
it is like people over people over people. we had to wait inside for like 20 30 minutes before the actual train. NO a/c or maybe there was. just overpowered by people body heat
anyways. got on the train. the train
it was such an awesome experience. some ppl did their usual party train thing but i was just trying to take everything in. a good 5-6 hrs of contemplation. esp about china.
once we got to Tai Shan station, checked into the hotel,
and off we were to Tai Shan.
if you have any experience living in korea or just having a korean background. there is an old sayings(속담) about Tai Shan
티끌모아 태산 - many drops make shower
the mountain itself isnt really high. Hanla mountain is taller than Tai Shan. but the steps were definitely a lot steeper. some pictures.
it was a good hike. confucius talked a lot about Tai Shan... i guess?
so after the hike we took the cable car down the mountain.
next stop: Confucius' Crib: Qu Fu
to be honest, it wasnt that fascinating. we went to his temple and his mansion,where his descendants lived but it just didnt cut it. so no pictures.
YOU KIDDING ME? its confucius
one of the most, if not probably the most important figure in asian civilzation.
Confucius' tomb. WAY TOO MANY PPL. can i get a decent picture ANYWHERE?!?!
that summarizes my three day trip to shandong. to be honest. i wish time just stopped right now
