Yeay! I have time now to complain to you guys, on how I did not enjoy the hike. Haha.
We started off with a 1 hour journey from Hanover to Moosilauke Ravin Lodge. The scenery along the way was so beautiful, trees, rivers, hills. I don't have a car, so my course mate Joe generously offered me a ride, plus another international guy too.
We arrived at 6pm, and went to our bunkhouse. They had one pillow on each bunkbed, with no sheets. Thank god I brought my comfy comforter with me.
After we put down our things, we went to where the crowd were. I saw that most of the kids were gathered in a circle at this huge field, behind the main lodge. The Americans were actually teaching the internationals to play frisbee. Of course I joined in, & I did not require teaching because you basically just throw a plate as hard & as far as you can. Simple. But it was fun.
Next we had dinner at the main lodge, we were served by these kind volunteers vegetarian food. So I ate as much as I could, hehe. And you guys might be suprised on how good vegetarian food actually taste. Plus its healthy & the dishes doesn't make you fat, which is another bonus for me. The main lodge looked awesome, but the deer heads on the wall creeped me out. The dining area had a nice fireplace to keep us warm, & we had fun that night chatting away.
Our desert, chocolate brownies & ice-cream. Yummy!!~
The kids spent the rest of the night socialising and drinking, while I was there laughing at all the stuff they did and said. I do not know what they were playing here, but they look pretty ridiculous with those cards on there forehead. Haha..There's Supriya, Vic, Justin & Rushi...Rushi's pretty funny, he introduced himself as 'Sushi, but with and R'. Haha...it worked because everyone remembered his name after that kind of intro. The Americans were playing a drinking game, so I stayed away from that.
There was a library downstairs, where some other kids were playing poker.
And when I was bored with these guys I went up to the piano besides the fireplace. That piano was so antique we were suprised it worked. And we played...guess what? Backstreet boys songs..because that was the most recent piano chords that they had..haha...Thats Drew, Nicole, Mark, Shirley & Pranjali.
The night went on with the kids getting drunker & drunker, & with me getting sleepier & sleepier. I even saw some of the kids wearing these green gloves (I have no idea where they got them). And when I asked why were they wearing those. they said they wanted to go into the woods to disect a moose. Man were they drunk~Hahaha..anyways I went to bed after that. The night was so cold, but it was so beautiful because you could see so many stars & the milky way. The photo's below are from Jimmy Li. My camera was not set to the right exposure so the milky way was not that clear.
Beautiful huh? I loved every second of looking at the sky that night, which was just like only 10 secs because by then I was shivering like crazy. It was freakin cold. Hehe...I'll continue part 2 in the next entry. Till then. Adios guys~
