Tuesday's Hike to Ciu Shan

Ayden Writes:

Two days ago I went on a hike. The reason why was because the Gaoxin High School where I live was having exams. The principal arranged for us to go with the Sharon High School students (the other High School group in Xi’an). It took us about an hour to get where we were going to start our hike. My mom and my sister didn’t go on the hike because my sister was sick. When we arrived at the mountain, I had to go to the bathroom. The first thing that struck me was the smell, but then I realized that there weren’t any doors in the bathroom. By the time I got out of that bathroom I had promised to myself that I would never use that bathroom again.

The hike was really really tiring because we were going up and because gravity was fighting against us. We had to walk up so many stairs. When we reached the top we ate some lunch. For lunch we had many different things. First, the waitress brought out five dishes, then the waitress stopped bringing out dishes. I asked my dad if this was all we got for lunch, and of course he didn’t know. After a little bit the waitresses brought out about 20 more dishes. After lunch, we headed down the mountain and our hike was finished.
