china was extremely enjoyable. being with my china relatives makes me want to migrate there hahaha. it was just like having a history lesson on the family tree. for example, i learned that my ancestors were originally from shandong before they decided to settle in wenzhou city. i apologise for the lack of tourist-sy photos because this trip was really like a family outing.











the Ke family tomb. damn big rite?? can fit an entire lecture. got 4 generations. each level a gen. and each chinese word lies the remains of a family member. right at the top is if im not wrong, my great great great grandparents. and they visit on the actual day of qingming itself, not like in singapore where everyone goes on weekends.











there was this game like those you find in a fun fair i played where i shoot tennis balls out of a cannon and i needed to hit a target. over there the prize was a live rooster! so my uncle asked me to give it a try and i won! haha, here's me with my prized win. dunno now eaten by my relatives in china already not haha.





















my Tang ge's shoe factory (see i know how to address people by their rank now haha). he even got gallen lo to advertise his brand for him.











my adorable nephew with another Tang Ge (can't take it im so traditional also). so cute rite? so big liao since i last saw him.











my Tang Di on the left. he damn funny la. telling me all the crap stuff he does like making fun of caucasians, finding cheap bargains, etc. 17yrs old. reminded me of secondary school times...
