The walls made me feel as if I'm at the Great Walls of China. Hahahaha :p
There it is!
I loveeeee these kinds of places :D :D :D Makes me feel like I'm in overseas when I'm not haha!
They have restaurants, sidewalk cafes...
However, my excitement was short live as I gradually noticed that there wasn't much to do in the "village". In less than 5 minutes, I'd reached the end and I was like, 'Huh?! That's it???" A pang of disappointment hit me. I felt cheated T___T
Besides eateries, there are souvenir shops, an arcade, a mini hotel.. and basically that's it! Booooooring :(
We went back to The Chateau and booked a chauffeur to drive us around the hills. Yes! It's provided free! I felt like a VIP sitting on the plush seat of the Mercedes-Benz MVP.. hehehe. The evident awe on the people's faces as we passed by them was so satisfying LOL.
Arrived at the Japanese Village! 3,500 feet above sea level woot woot.
Here, you could wear the kimono and take pictures around the garden. The charges are quite expensive though, and there's a time limit too. They also have a traditional Japanese tea tasting ceremony.. whatever that means. Also comes with charges.
Notice the couple in kimonos on the right? Yup, gotta take the pictures yourself; no professionals around. Well, unless you're a professional yourself :p
I love the chinese name of the restaurant! Direct translation means Cooling Mountain Pavilion. Very apt XD
Walked one big round and finally ended up at where our driver dropped us.
Next destination:
Guess what I saw in the office LOL.
Preparing for the ride of our lives! No lah we only went for a gentle stroll just by the roadside. They also provide professional riding lessons that last up to an hour or two, but we didn't go for it coz I knew I couldn't take it.
Love this picture! My current Facebook cover photo hehe.
Then we went to the animal park. Nothing much, just a small enclosed area with a few rabbits and deers, and a peacock. They were roaming freely though! So it was quite cool to mingle with the animals :D
My mom wanted to visit the organic farm so we went there. She was quite enthusiastic about it... Moms being moms -__-
These are brinjals if you didn't know.
From where I stand, you could spot the castle aka The Chateau in the distance!
Wild berries! Mom said they're edible so we plucked them to eat LOL. They look like they have tails growing out of their body.. Quite scary but they tasted really sweet!
...to be continued ;)
