Last Saturday, I was really sad... The reason for this was because I decided to sell off my trusty Sony Alpha 200... The Sony Alpha 200 accompanied me for around 6 months... Although the time we spent together was considered short, but it was something that I will always remembered... It was the Alpha 200 that brought me into the world of photography... But it was time to move on...

Say hello to my new sidekick!!! Behold the SONY ALPHA 300... The reason I changed my Alpha 200 to 300 was because my darling's brother decided to stop photography... We bought the camera together last year... So I took this chance to upgrade my camera... I considered it as an upgrade because Alpha 300 comes with live view... Other than that, both the camera were basically the same in terms of megapixel and functionality... Another difference between my old Alpha 200 and the new Alpha 300 was the kit lens provided... Both of us took the twin lens kit for our camera... The Alpha 200 came with a 75mm - 300mm telephoto lens while the Alpha 200 came with a 55mm - 200mm medium telephoto lens...

I can imagine the fun times that I am going to have in the future with my new Sony Alpha 300...

Hong Chun was located in Southern An Hui... In year 2000, the World Heritage commitees inscript the ancient village of Hong Chun on the World Cultural Heritage List... The World Heritage List includes 878 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage... These includes 679 cultural, 174 natural and 25 mixed...

We were considered very unlucky... The reason for this was because they were cleaning up the main river leading to Hong Chun... If I am not mistaken, they did this every 40 years... So you can imagined how unlucky we were... There were mud everywhere and it was drizzling at the moment... So it was really dirty... But luckily, the scenery and architecture of the building were simply breathtaking... Too bad, with my current photography skills, I can't capture the beauty of Hong Chun and show it here...

Tomatoes & eggs mee... 1 of the best mee that I ever had in my life...

Yang chou fried rice...

These were the best dishes that I had in Huang Shan... Most of the time, we ate instant noodles, bread and biscuit in Huang Shan... The reason for this was because on top of Huang Shan there were very limited food... Instant noodles and bread were the norm... So we decided to buy it before heading up the mountain because the same item would cost at least twice the price...
