TGIF! and we begin our journey to the 3 gorges. we set off at 1pm in the afternoon and took a long bus ride to a restaurant for dinner. before the trip, everyone was busy packing their bags, not knowing what to bring there as some say no towel, no this, no that. then everyone was confused. end up we just brought more just in case! better safe than sorry right?

Then after dinner we set off for our cruise! how exciting! adventureeeee! we board out ship and headed to our rooms. i was rooming with nicholas. but how unlucky we are! the shower head was spoilt. no water coming out. so we requested for a change of room. but after the locks, we went back to our new room and the pipe was broken! then we called the service lady again and she came and change the pipe for us. what an unlucky start to the cruise trip. but nonetheless, first day was awesome, except for the lack of sleep since we need to wake up at 7 for breakfast. ps: we slept at almost 4.

A great experience so far as the 3 gorges are known to be a very scenic place. and without a doubt it was. however what caught my attention was experiencing the locks. i learnt in maritime management about locks and how it works and why it is used. however, i had a hard time understanding the method of which it was using. being able to experience it first hand was awesome!
Good to know how the locks work. You are fortunate, I have not been to 3 gorges myself. :-(
