It's a very comfortable temperature for us Malaysians, but for locals it's still a little cold.
We start wearing short sleeves which always getting nag from locals especially the elders.
All the pretty fluttery flowers are passed their blooming.
This is the time for canola flower to bloom.
It's a bright yellow.
I thought it would be dull for seeing just one color flower bloom, but I was so wrong.
The field of yellow canola flower, WOW!
And it's a popular time for outing. We visited a few big shopping malls that are slightly further than our common travelling area.
We went more to karaoke and some wheel skating.
My mom and aunt came visit me. I brought them to the famous ShouXiHu and DongGuan Street.
I introduced them some local food and local way of living.
DongGuan Street is an popular tourist street that combine both souvenir stalls and historical building.
I was so occupied that I forgot to take photos of it.
Then, we went to HangZhou. My impression of HangZhou is a more Chinese cultural style of Kuala Lumpur.
As our trip was more of a bagpack trip, we make decision as we go around.
So after seeing a tour promotion, we decided to go to WuZhen.
It's a typical scene of JiangNan(South of Yangtze River) Water Town.
It's very poetic and full of the old historical feels to it.

The rain comes unexpectedly in the evening when we are still outside loitering.
We got trapped in the rain for around 1 hour.
And as it got smaller, we decided to run back to hostel.
Of course we got soaked wet, and super tired.
We sleep pass breakfast the next day, and we move to homestay near West Lake tourism district.
Our days are simple after that, we basically just enjoy the view, tried out local food, and relax.

And then we found the famous General YueFei museum.
The building was his home as well, and it was modified a bit to become a museum of his history.

Spring goes, Summer comes.
And it's hot, very hot!
the weather forecast always show 39 degree Celsius, but some rumors say it sometimes hit 40 degree Celsius in the noon.
No sleeves shirt and short pants do not feel enough, I might as well go naked.
Summer and typhoon are friends, thunderstorm always show up suddenly when minutes ago is just sunny sky.
It is too hot to go outside, we basically just stay indoor.
Watermelon is very popular and can been selling abundantly along the streets.
In such a hot weather, you can never have enough of watermelons.
