Round 1 Offers

Sooooo.. at 6:30pm when round one offers on The Age and Hearld Sun website was up. I checked. My name wasn't there. I was so shattered. I was sad for an hour, until I checked on the VTAC site. After that.. I was happy and was like..'God damn I'm awesome'.

Next year I'll be doing Computer Science at RMIT City.

Longest blog I will ever post.

Left for China on the 11 December. 9 hour flight. Go to Guang Zhou in the morning and had breakfast there then got on another flight to Beijing. Bloody cold there. So cold that the bottle of water we left in the bus was frozen the next morning. The temperature was between -3 to -13 the whole time I stayed there, but it didn't snow. Stayed in a massive 5 star hotel, which was cool.

Wore a tshirt, 2 hoodies, leather jacket and 2 pairs of pants. I was still freezing.

Next stop was Shanghai. Our flight was delayed for 2 hours. When we landed it started to snow, which was pretty neat. 

After Shanghai was Suzhou and Hangzhou.. nothing much there. Saw people sell pigs noses though.

Next was Xi'an... terrible air. So dusty and dirty. The hotel we stayed at had all room temperatures set at 28°C. So, the next day we told the tour guide and we got to change to a 5 start hotel :D Stayed on level 12, in a 3800yuan room. Didn't enjoy Xian. We visited the terracotta warriors.. which was boring. 

 Water feature outside the hotel, went for 30 minutes. Pretty cool.

Stupid warriors.

Guangzhou next. Went to some massive safari zoo thing and watched Chimelong International Circus. 

Getting lazy ...
Hong Kong:
- Some mountain. 3 hours of waiting to get on the cable car then 3 hours of waiting to get back.
- Disneyland. It's so small.

Macau:
- Didn't do much. Visited casinos.

Xiamen:
- Visit family.

Jieyang:
- My mum's home town. Got to ride on motorbikes and scooters. Hoped onto bikes/cars with people I've never met before.

That's pretty much my holiday.
