My trip to harbin ( mazy's request )

It was January 2007, when my gf asked me if i wanted to visit her hometown .... ( travel & "meet her parents" ):L DB:dH_H%]7I
From Shanghai to harbin, We took a plane ... It took around 4 hours :Q ( if i am not mistaken ).
3H Ws NS F We arrived at Harbin airport 3pm, and we decided to find a hotel for our staying.
(@P:_0LqS;h So, we took a cab ( taxi ) after quite long negotiation about the price ...... :@ ( it cost around 100 rmb ) and need 40-50 mins to the city centre. Xt)b'c5pZ~)o
We stay at 3 star hotel or 2 star .... which i cant recognize the different. But the room is quite comfortable :D "V"YquV&o#]ax
then we went out for dinner. My gf said harbin is popular with their JIAO ZI. So i wanted to try it.:lol 1j,C2]SfWy
We found a restaurant ..... when i entered , i saw in one table, ppl ordered like more than 5 different kinds of jiao zi ....Q Xl)j3@-z+\
I was like :o :o :o :o :o
O#n,Mc(Mnt4z So we ordered also, but not that many ... i remember we ordered green onion with egg jiao zi, green onion with mushroom jiao zi ... the other 2 are meat inside ....
m h-aFTLW@ Anyway, i think their jiao zi dishes are great :D :D :D J9K#pH
t AyL)n
After dinner, we just walked around near our hotel for a while and went back to hotel, cos we were too tired to look at other place|o ^"P4e!y!Z|a

THE EIGHT HARBIN ICE AND SNOW WORLD-
-^5NH)G4`CD I got it just from TV program. In day time, it may be look a little bit common. A big ice! However, in the evening, while everything becomes silence, it becomes an important roles in the snowing world. I have to say, human being is really great! How could they make it so beautiful.:$  When may i go there and have a look?

[quote]i have no idea how they put the lamp inside the ice-[/quote]2Y5k1\o H

{:v4T0b*Zy5R As it happened, I know a little about it. :lol
ev|)l3z? /ZP]0W0O@\I
You can just think those lovely ice as some special kind of wood. Because it is a little bit similar with making furniture. You know, good workers could make different wood together just with special gluewater, some nails and some other methods. That's it. So, how to make ice together? With gluewater or with some nails?:lol  Guess it! SV!s&uN3\,`T4J

$mYFg&K/[5x [b]Water[/b] it is! Because of the freezing weather in Harbin, it is much easy to combine some different ice together. Firstly, cut a furrow on two ice and then, put the lamp on one of it. Finally, combine the both ice together with some water. :lol Of course, you have to cut several furrows for lamps and wires.:victory:"v@s:vrO

You could make it much bigger if you delete the ".th" at the end of your pic addr before you submit post.
