Before dinner, me and xq had plenty of time to ourselves so we went trudging through dungs and locusts, scouring for fallen pearls and hidden gems (it has been said that there were lost treasures waiting to be found on the grass plains). We didnt find any, but we saw many pretty sights. After a while, we got bored of the plains.

Wild horses we bumped into

Sunset

During dinner, it was customary that we drink a small glass of wine(?) as a welcome gesture. The thing is, we were drinking ethanol. It tasted horrible! H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E. But it did keep us very warm from the cold icy night.

Live performance

The day ended with a campfire performance, where the hosts were singing songs amidst the dancing flames. Midway, we ran off with a sleeping bag in tow, loaded with food. We laid the sleeping bag right under the clear night sky. Lying down, we were immediately blanketed with the silence of the night and the howling wind. But what laid before us was a picture forever etched in my memory. Away from the city lights, there hang above the skies, the countless stars waiting to be named. That night, for the first time, i saw many shooting stars.
