Updates from Lijiang~

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 13, 2009, 9:59 AM




Hello all~

Hope December's been good to you so far. :3

I'm into my last two days in Lijiang. Flying back to Singapore tomorrow morning. And because of the great Chinese firewall I haven't been able to update twitter and blogger at all. Gah.

I'm here with Abby on a real holiday. It's so friggin awesome I can't believe I'm surviving it without guilt (like, no work? really? haha).

I'd been meaning to go on a holiday for a while now, but it just never really quite happened. I'm kinda glad that Abby reminded me of the supposed existence of such a intended trip one random day... I would have scheduled the whole of December for work otherwise. >_>

Okay I'm babbling, here are some pics!!



View from our room for the first 2 nights.



Wooden prayer plates.



Lijiang Old Town at night~



Lashi Lake



Abby at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This is some 4500m above sea level. 2 oxygen cans for the both of us were kinda not enough. ;_;



And me~


Well that's it for now. I'll upload the rest of the stuff on Facebook/blogger when I get back home~ :D

For those who missed the last post, free shipping for my photobooks and postcard collection ends on Dec 31st~! Check them out here: [link]

Thanks for sharing the pictures! Although you don't really need oxygen at 4500 if you walk to that altitude.... ;)

I was just in Lijiang in May and it was VERY beautiful there. Unfortunately, I was just touring with a few friends and didn't have enough money to go on Jade Dragon Mountain. I will go back there one day :D.

What I admire most about you (and the list is long, hehe), is that even when you're just taking "family photoalbum" photos, they are still exceptional, still such fierce examples of your passion for photography and your skill. It is because of pictures like these that I feel that when one takes vacations, even if they suck, if you concetrate on the art through the lense, it can actually end up being remembered as a great time. The details and the light and the moments when your friends are frozen stiff and deprived of oxygen... :D It does fill you up with new charge, doesn't it? :D
