Horseback Riding

It's been a while since the last post. I thought that I have to abandon this blog, since the Chinese gov't is blocking all the English bloggers. I never know that the corp site would actually allow the access. (Cross thingers)





Anyway, the Tokyo trip was a nice break/gettaway. Came back in HZ on 10/14, but I felt very different compare to the arrival back in May. The excitement level has decreased. (I still like HZ, but not sure whether I would like it more in the future.)





Okay, so much about my deep thinking. Let's get to the fun part. Oct 17, Saturday, after long/unsuccessful recruitment, I decided to go Horse back riding with few, 2 to be exact, colleagues. As usual, I got up late, and had to take taxi to meet up with them @ one of the public bus stop. Surprisely, there were two new faces. (young boys of cause) The bus ride to the place, da qin valley, was a torturing I have never rode with so many ppl in one bus. I was screaming for air when I got on. But gladly, as the bus pulled further away from the city, the crowd got smaller.





The 1st impression of the place was "it small, and are we sure we'll have fun here?!" (to ppl in Boston, I'll not bring u there, I can hear the complains already) I got there during the lunch time, but I'm not going to comment on the food. It wasn't bad from the local standard.... But after lunch, as I breath, the smell of the fresh grass, light breeze, and comfortable heat from the sun, everything becoming attractive. (maybe my emplenty stomach was the main factor of the negative impression when I arrived)





We explored around the area. There are plenty of greens. We can do horseback riding, fishing, & playing cards/MJ. Sound fun. But the visiting of the horse's shelter, is nothing close to fun. Man, it smells like a sh*thole, but can't blame the owner, those horses are big in size. So do their wastes. Anyway, I was very happy when I spot a white horse. He is handsome! (but could use a nice bath!) So after about half hr waiting time, (apparently horses are run on a very strik schedule, their lunch break has to be 1 hr), I finally got the chance to have a moment with my white horse.
Getting on to his back, was much harder than I expected. He was so much talker in person, the instructor literately had to lift me up to the back. That was the time I felt bad about my weight, he was suffering! (sorry) Anyway, it felt good to be on the top of the horse. Great view! I hawl the horse, and he start strode down the riding lane. He was pretty grace, kept on with a confortable speed. But shortly, I noticed that he was tailgate the other brown horse. The tail of the brown horse was sweep the dusks into my face. Errggg...
Then, when we were about half way down the path, both horses stop. They stick their head out of the track and eating off the bushes. I tien the rope, but my White horse got a such attitude, he almost wipe me out of his back! I tried everything, and still couldn't make him move, not even an inch! Then I heard someone was talking around the corner, (I later discovered that it was the instructor), both horses started to run like their ass was on fire.
Man, I was frighened, so bad that I held on to the hairs on the back of horse head. So tie that I felt the pain in my palm! I thought these two hours would never stop. But surprisly, they stop right away when we get to the start point, where the instructor sat! When the instructor asked with a big smile:"would you like to go for another round, it'll only be 50 extra?" I rejected right away.
& after we got off from the horse, the instructor jocking asked, how I like my White Hores Prince? I said,"never in my life, i would want to ride a white horse again!" & guess what, the white hores actually heard me, and left his front feet, and screamed at me!
oohiii, one lesson to learn, never piss off a horse, especially a white one. hahahaha
