- TO VISIT MY GRANDMA
- TO ATTEND MY COUSINS HONG KONG WEDDING RECEPTION
- TO VISIT MY FAMILY'S ANCESTRAL HOME
BASICALLY SPENT MOST OF THE TIME WITH FAMILY AND THEN HEADED OFF TO CHINA TO SEE WHERE MY FAMILY CAME FROM. TOOK A BUS TO CHINA AND THEN ANOTHER BUS FURTHER INTO CHINA AND THEN AN UNCLE DROVE US EVEN FURTHER INTO CHINA... THIS ISNT JUST THE BOONIES OR THE OUT SKIRTS OF SOME TOWN... THIS WAS THE BOONIES OF THE BOONIES OF A VILLAGE... A LEGIT VILLAGE... WHATEVER THE SMALLER VERSION OF A VILLAGE IS, THAT IS WHAT THIS WAS... ANYONE KNOW WHATS SMALLER THAN A VILLAGE? THIS PLACE WAS JUST A ROAD, YOU CANT REALLY CALL IT A STREET EITHER... THERES SOME ALLEYS I GUESS... LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER MY DAD ASKED FOR SOME DIRECTIONS, CAUSE EVEN HE DIDNT REALLY KNOW WHERE IT WAS, WE FOUND IT. LETS JUST SAY IT WAS INTERESTING... THE HOUSE SURE GOT A LOT OF LIGHT... BUT THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE WE HAD NO ROOF... THE ROOF FELL DOWN DECADES AGO APPARENTLY. PLANTS HAVE OVERGROWN ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOU CAN TELL THAT ITS BEEN GROWING FOR A LONG LONG LONGGGGGGGGG TIME... THEN THERES OF COURSE ALL THE GARBAGE... NOT REALLY JUNK GARBAGE BUT MORE OF RANDOM CONSTRUCTION STUFF WHICH WAS PROBABLY THROWN THERE BY THE NEIGHBOURS WHEN THEY REBUILT THE HOUSE. THE OTHER HOUSES NEXT TO AND ACROSS FROM US WERE EMPTY AND JUST HAD A SMALL LOCK ON THE GATES... NOT LIKE ANYONE WOULD REALLY BREAK IN... CONSIDERING ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THERE WERE THESE GRANDMAS AROUND AND MY DAD TALKED TO THEM, FIRST ONE DIDNT KNOW ANYONE WE RELATED TO, THEN THE SECOND GRANDMA KNEW MY GRANDMA... BUT THIS GRANDMA WAS LIKE 90+ YEARS OLD... SOOOOOOO SHE MUST HAVE KNOWN HER WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG YOUNG... LISTENING TO THEM SPEAK LEGIT VILLAGE ACCENT I COULD ONLY MAKE OUT LIKE HALF OF WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. IT WAS PRETTY SURREAL BEING THERE... KNOWING THIS IS WHERE MY DAD GREW UP, WHERE MY GRANDPA/GRANDMA GREW UP, WHERE MY GREAT GRANDPA/GRANDMA GREW UP, AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY GENERATIONS THAT SHACK WAS HOME TO... THERE WERENT ANY YOUNG PEOPLE THERE, EVERYONES MOVED OUT AND THE ONLY PEOPLE LEFT ARE REAL OLD GRANDPARENTS AND FARMERS. THIS WAS SOMETHING I REALLY WANTED TO DO FOR A LONG TIME, I LIKE THIS KIND OF STUFF. PERHAPS ONE DAY WE WILL REBUILD IT OR JUST DO SOMETHING TO IT BUT ITS SO FAR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE IT MIGHT NOT BE WORTH IT... I MEAN ITS NOT LIKE WE CAN SELL IT... UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO BUY THE VILLAGE UP AND REBUILD THE WHOLE AREA, WE AINT GOING TO BE RICH OFF IT LOL. ONE DAY IL GO BACK AND STICK SOME SIGNS THERE AND BE LIKE THIS IS MINE!!! LOL. AT LEAST NOW I KNOW HOW TO GO THERE. IF IT WASNT FOR MY AUNT AND OTHER UNCLE KNOWING AND HAPPEN TO BE GOING BACK THIS TIME, WE WOULDNT BE GOING BACK EITHER.
I TOOK TONS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AND I COULD ACTUALLY MAKE A VIDEO POST ABOUT THIS AND YOU COULD SEE WHAT I MEAN, BUT IM LAZY AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE EDITING LOL. WE SHALL SEE, I MEAN I ALWAYS TAKE VIDEOS AND EVEN NARRATE THEM BUT THEN GET TOO LAZY TO PUT THEM TOGETHER. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A PRETTY AWESOME RANDOM TRAVEL VIDEOS BUT YOU KNOW... LOL. THERES ACTUALLY A LOT MORE I WANT TO WRITE AND TALK ABOUT THIS TRIP AND EVERYTHING BUT IM TIRED AND LAZY. YOU ALL CAN ASK ME HOW IT WAS WHEN I SEE YOU, OR I CAN JUST SHOW YOU THE VIDS ON MY PHONE LOL.
OH YA AND ITS HOT HERE... WORE JEANS THE FIRST 2 DAYS THEN DECIDE TO WEAR SHORTS CAUSE ITS FREAKING HOT... THE ONE DAY I DECIDE TO WEAR SHORTS I GET MOSQUITO BITES... FREAKING HELL... LOL. IMA GO SCRATCH THEM AND GO TO SLEEP LOL. GOODNIGHT.
