Zhongjiajie (don't worry I still can't say it right)

Hey Guys... I'm not dead.... .... ... SURPRISE!

This was an....... interesting vacation. 

First a bit of background- In our group we have this person who is kinda a loner and will not have anything coming between him and his vacation.

We started out our vacation wrong because one of the girls in our group missed the bus to get us to the train station, but it was no sweat because there was plenty of time. We waited for her at the station and when she got there it was too late for her to get a ticket for our train, but that's ok because we could just wait for her at the other end. When we arrive we have about an hour so we go to dinner then come back 15 minutes before the meet time. The train comes, we are reunited with our group member, we wait for the person I had mentioned in the background. And we wait... and wait... and wait... and wait. He doesn't show up, this is worrying to us because 1. He has one of our sleeper train tickets so we can't even get into the building without him, and 2. We are in FLIPPING CHINA and he could be anywhere!

Long story short, we missed the train, got new tickets, had a 13 hour train ride turn into a 19 hour train ride, and lost a day of vacation. And it turns out that this lost person that we were so worried about just got on the train without us...
Needless to say we were a bit miffed.

But after all that drama we made it to the...

AVATAR MOUNTAINS!!

It was pretty cloudy but I still got some good pictures.


They had a glass bridge where you could see what would happen if you were to fall.



they had a point where you could buy these red flags and write a wish or something on it then tie it to the trees.


I even made one 



The most dangerous road in the world... yup I dove on it... it was actually the most careful I have ever seen a bus driver be.


The Stairs to Heaven was really cool but it was under construction so I couldn't go all the way up.
