【Travel Notes|Harbin #1】Snow Country

【Scenery をEmbraceきしめて】

"Embrace the scenery you have never seen before"

I was a little timid before going out. After all, I had never experienced sub-zero temperatures.

I have never experienced a snowstorm like that in Harbin, which is dozens of degrees below zero.

A few hours before I go out, I double-check whether my clothes are enough

I also brought several sets of clothing such as sweaters and coats.

Although I bought nearly 80 packs of warm babies, I always feel that I don’t have enough.

Maybe it's because I'm nervous. I still have a stomachache when I go out.

For a taste, I even visited the VIP lounge of China Southern Airlines to experience it.

What gives me the biggest impression is that China Southern Airlines’ VIP lounge is really suitable for business people to go and relax.

It was very quiet and I was the only one at noon.

No one bothered me when I was shooting videos and recording VLOGs. Drinks and food were all self-service.

The only bad thing I have to say is that they only serve pure Americano coffee.

Before this, Harbin experienced a blizzard that seemed to happen once in ten years.

During this period of time, I have been paying attention to flights from Harbin.

Two days before departure, all my corresponding flights were cancelled.

To be honest, I was really panicked at the time. I was really afraid that my flight would be cancelled.

During those days in class, I always went to see what was going on at Harbin Airport from time to time.

The kind of person who is paying attention all the time is most afraid that all the rest of the trip will be in vain.

After all, all the next air tickets and train tickets have been bought.

And I have been looking forward to this journey for a long time.

But the most gratifying thing is that I woke up this morning and saw that my flight was normal.

At that time, I was really happy and my heart was finally relieved.

PS: I was mentally prepared for the flight to be cancelled.

I didn’t start packing my luggage until I received the information that the flight was normal on the morning of departure.

I felt pretty good on the first day. At least I saw the enthusiasm of Northeastern people.

The hospitality of Northeastern people is really not an exaggeration.

When I got off the plane, after all, it was okay to be alone in such a far away city.

I also hope someone can take care of me

After picking up my luggage, a local guy from Harbin struck up a conversation with me.

When I first started, I was really panicked. I thought it was some bad guy or something.

That elder brother told me that you are not cold if you wear so little?

I was really wearing very little. After I got off the plane, I put on a big cotton-padded jacket and short sleeves.

As for the pants, they are nine-point and very thin pants.

At first I thought there was not much difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature.

Are you even thinking about the weather being below zero degrees? That's it? That's it?

I keep telling that big brother that it’s not hot, that’s enough, it’s not cold at all.

The older brother kept trying to persuade me to get dressed. But I couldn't help it, so I went to change my clothes.

But at that time, there was another person who was very clumsy. The elder brother asked me to go to the toilet and changed first, and then helped me look after my luggage.

I thought it was too troublesome at the time, so I just changed into two pairs of pants and that was it. My clothes were still short-sleeved and oversized cotton-padded jackets.

How could anyone be so nice to you for no reason? This is what I thought at the time

Later, when the older brother saw that I was still wearing so little, my ponytail was exposed.

He just wanted me to be his taxi and take me back to the city, and it would cost more than 100 yuan per person.

I'm not very good at rejecting others and just keep spending time with them.

Later, when he wasn't paying attention, I went straight to the airport and bought an airport bus.

But thanks to that big brother’s reminder, otherwise I would have died of cold on the way.

I already felt cold as soon as I left the airport.

But since I just came out of the room, I just don’t feel that it’s very cold.

When I saw the snow all over the ground on the bus, I felt so immersed in it that it felt like I was playing in the snow.

When I got off the bus, my feet hit the ground. Oh my god, I fell down with a shovel.

On the first day I came to Northeast China, I felt the slippery ground in Northeast China.

I was really staggering when I got up and it was so cold.

It was amazing. Then a big sister from the Northeast came to ask me where I was going and gave me directions.

Knowing that it was my first time to come to Northeast China, he showed me the way to my youth hostel.

But how can anyone be so nice to you for no reason?

The lady behind was from a travel agency. I knew subconsciously that there must be a scam.

But it was really too cold. At that time, I followed the elder sister to their travel agency to escape the cold.

They were also nice people who brought me hot water and food.

That was also the first time I experienced the heating in Northeast China.

It's so warm that it won't take long for your whole body to thaw.

I also inquired about a lot of things, including the cost of going to Xuexiang and the cost of going to Mohe.

At the end of the day, find the right opportunity and run away immediately

That night I was looking for a youth hostel and I was walking on that central street. The cold wind blew over me and it was really freezing.

I kept thinking about going back to the youth hostel quickly. It was so cold. I was walking so fast and suddenly I accidentally fell again.

While looking for a youth hostel, I was looking for a place to have late night snacks.

I was surprised that the status of Central Street is also Beijing Road in Guangzhou.

It was only around ten o'clock, and there was almost no one on the whole street. All the shops and everything were closed.

[McDangdang provided the late night snack for that day]

I went to the youth hostel and fell down on the stairs. It was so embarrassing.

I found that where they live in the Northeast is a little different from us.

Some of their stores have to go downstairs, like this

I'm a little confused and don't know what the meaning and function of their decoration like this are.

But I only know that as soon as I entered that youth hostel, it was like entering a big heater. It was really, really comfortable.

My roommate is a big brother from Northeast China

I have never dealt with people from the Northeast before, so I am still cautious.

But after some heart-to-heart conversations, I discovered that most Northeasterners are genuine

As soon as you come to a Northeastern city, every Northeasterner feels like your brother.

The way they speak and think is really very different from us southerners.

At that time, my youth hostel also had a little brother who was studying in Northeast China.

I stayed in hostels so many times

This is the first time I have met someone who came to stay in a youth hostel because he was afraid of being scolded by the hostess after returning home late.

Two roommates from the Northeast unanimously recommended me, a southerner who came to the North for the first time, to go to the big bathhouse.

I didn’t dare to go on the first day because I felt too embarrassed.

I've never stripped naked in front of so many people

Do you really take off all your clothes or are you naked?

I was excited at first, but after thinking about it, I decided it was too embarrassing and I couldn’t accept it.

Besides, the youth hostel has a bathroom. Why should I spend money to go to the big bathhouse [flag]

When I went to the youth hostel and the bathhouse with great joy, I felt stupid.

Yes, that's right, there are public bathrooms.

It's a real public bathroom. I puked. Damn it, it's no different from a big bathhouse.

A small room with four walls and a shower head on each wall

Four men were facing each other in the shower, and I was dumbfounded.

But if I don’t take a shower for a day, I feel so uncomfortable that I can’t accept myself without taking a shower.

Although there was no one when I took a shower

But I'm really scared that someone will come in while I'm fucking washing.

Then he gave me a weird expression. Wow, I can’t even think about it. The picture is so beautiful.
