Biking trip at Dian Shan Lake · Nov 7, 10:40 PM

Last weekend a couple of us joined a biking trip to Dian Shan Lake. The trip was organized by Bodhi and introduced to us by Jason “the man” Tai.

Some of the highlights of the trip includes seeing cotton on a plant for the first time in my life (surreal!), cycling through rice/wheat fields, arguing whether we cycled through a rice field or a wheat field, and enduring calls of “lao wai, lao wai!” (clearly not directed at me, of course). It was also nice to cycle through the water towns (it was near Zhu Jia Jiao, a famous water town) that are bustling with normal village life – kids playing, people working on fields. Beats the touristy water towns such as Zhou Zhuang and Xi “Tom Cruise Shrine” Tang anytime.

My bottom hurts so bad after the trip, although the difficulty of the trip was only rated as “cruiser”. I may go for an “intermediate” some time in the future, when I put on some ass of steel.

So is that a rice field or a wheat field?

I’m a big fan of Angelina Jolie. Joon is a bigger fan.
