~~Inner Mongolia Trip~~

This Mid Autumn Festival, our Team Microsoft went to Inner Mongolia. Friday after work we take train to Inner Mongolia then Sunday night back to Beijing. Is about 10 hours train to Inner Mongolia, so the train we took is 4 person per room, is bed, we can sleep during the 10 hours and it is much more better than what we thought :P

This the the room's in the train

We reach Inner Mongolia around 7am in the morning, so cold~~ Our travel guide ady wait for us there and bring us for breakfast in town before heading to the grassaland.Is still very different between city and rural areas. We travel another 2 hours to the grassland and when we reach there, they are having a welcome party for us...hehe, welcome drinks = alchohol...damn strong :P

All have to drink straight away getiing down from the bus

The view is so nice, the landscape of the grassland, the blue blue sky, everything is so peacful and clam......beautiful~~ but abit cold, hehehe...

The view of the grassland with the Mongolia tent

After we get into our tent, we saw a group of cow passing through, so all rush to take photo... moooooo~~

This is the tent that i stay a night for...What a different experience

After lunch, we all went for the hourse ride with the famous 成吉思汉 (Ghinggis Khan)hourse. Accident happened during the ride, Ben being kick by the hourse!! The kick is so strong, his leg straight away start bleeding...horrible...My first hourse riding!!Is scary yet fun, although whole body is painful after the ride.

Me with my white hourse~~

Me and the grassland~~happy happy~~

At the dinner, we order the BBQ whole Lamp, is the must try if u go to Mongolia, but is really "lamb"...hehehe...some of them dont like the "lamb" taste :P

During the ceremony --> cutting the lamb~~
