DAY 33 IN SICHUAN

A Visit to the Earthquake-destroyed Site
In the morning, we paid a visit to the earthquake-destroyed area.
When the bus passed by all the destroyed, collapsed buildings, my heart ached. 
We arrived at this factory company which was destroyed by the earthquake.
From the guide, there were even hostels for the workers in this factory, and ALL, 
were destroyed.
Walking into the destroyed earthquake really grievous. D: 
Imagine hundreds of innocent lives in this factory killed by this natural disaster.



This clock tower is just outside the factory. 
The time on the clock stopped exactly at 2.28pm, the time which the earthquake happened on 2008 May 12.
And it remains there ever since. 

The whole town had become a dead, ghostly town.
What's left was dust, and abandoned buildings
In the afternoon, it was free & easy for us, so we went to Guanghan to shop! :D
The girls went for manicure while the guys went for massage. 
The massagers were blind, from what I heard, but they were good! :D
So what if one is disabled, as long as his other body parts are still functioning well, he can still be a very useful person! 
Which is why I admire people like them. 

The manicure was good. :D 


Had some shopping after that and then, we took trishaws to the KTVs area in Guanghan! :D
My first experience taking a trishaw! (: (: 

Spent the rest of the night singing!
Another KTV session, but this time, with the non-chineses! 
It was their first time to the KTV. 
FUN! :D 
Okay. no more pictures, cam's batt died. 

Today's another long day.
I am so glad I am able to pay a visit to the earthquake affected area.
Life is so fragile. 
It makes me appreciate Singapore even more, once again.
Singapore is like, a blessed country from all natural disasters.
