我的二十一岁生日就在新加坡机场，深圳航空，南宁机场，和凤凰酒店度过了。。

the security guard that was standing at the departure hall wished me happy birthday when i went through the departure hall. haha for a while i 冷了一下。。quite shock la.. yep.. the flight onboard shenzhen airlines took close to four hours, and upon arrival in nan ning, the journey to the hotel took another 45 mins. was slightly introduced to the tour guide yangyi and nan ning. then checked into phoenix hotel. not too bad a hotel.

after breakfast, we set off for a 4.5 hrs journey to 德天瀑布。。it's this waterfall that lies between vietnam and china, can u imagine, i can see vietnam across from where i stood taking pictures.

and this one trip took us the whole day practically, cos it was a 4.5hrs there and return.. and as usual, Joanne liked to 自拍。。

went to visit more places of interest, and a 'preserved' university compound of the olden days. haha.. got to see the examination halls, which was well pretty not the type of place we can imagine ourselves to be in..taking an exam. hahz.

got around alot on the rivers. toured li jiang on ferry, saw the olden days fishing on the bamboo poles made 'boats' and took lots and lots of pictures. beautiful. as the saying goes, 桂林山水甲天下。i truly agree. things you always thought could only be seen in pictures, appear right before you.. seriously, it takes every breath away from you. =) and on this christmas night, i went to a so-called 'club' in nanning with yang yi, zhang fan and celine. it was an interesting experience. thanks to yangyi and zhangfan for the outing. realised that beer has little effect on me, but that doesnt mean i will drink... haha. and thanks celine otherwise known as xiaoxu for the company that night.

from all the pictures, i guess you all would have figured out that i really enjoyed myself. 可惜欢乐时光短暂。。时间也不会因此而停留。thanks to those who made the trip a wonderful time for me. i recommend guilin! =P
