GULLIVER (?) GOES TO CHINA!

Yes, read the title again…

And again…

And again…

What’s wrong with the title, eh? Everything seems alright…

Okay, let me tell you then:

Hehehe… Don’t you think the title is funny? Gulliver never went to China, right?

BUT THAT’S THE TRUTH, EVERYBODY!!! (grin) Let me tell you the story!

---------------

On 4^th of June 2007, Gulliver went to China. Ummm…. I mean a ‘magical’ China where everything seemed to small for a normal human such as Gulliver.

Hmmm… let’s see what was there. China isn’t as small as Indonesia after all. So, there must be something interesting there…

Okay, first of all, Gulliver went to… ummm… it seems Gulliver has forgotten the name of the place. Probably it was Gui Lin, the Thousands Mountains. Still, Gulliver wasn’t too sure of that.

Note: Hey, look at the photo. Okay, do you think Gulliver really looks like that? Well, just…just simply think the person there is Gulliver we all know and love, kay?

Well, let’s not waste our time here. Somehow, Gulliver found a time machine there and…

SWOOOSH!!!!

… Gulliver was transported to the time of Ancient China. It was perhaps about 20 centuries ago. Heck, now Gulliver had to find the way home…

Gulliver: Hmmm… so Gui Lin really has a mystical power, eh?

Okay, the first to be seen was a lake. On the side of the lake were some buildings, probably a town. Well, Gulliver hoped that the people there could help, so yeah.

Finally, Gulliver arrived on the town, but most of it was a palace. (Somehow, Gulliver found it funny to see the tiny people, but Gulliver didn’t intend to harm them). Hey, don’t you realize something? There were some tiny trees, but there were also some giant trees. Since the giant trees were so common, Gulliver picked the tiny tree instead, as a souvenir, of course. (And Gulliver still has it until now!)

Then, Gulliver continued walking and finally reached the palace! I mean, Gulliver finally get so close with the palace. All of the people there were scared stiff. The soldiers brandished their spears and swords, but they knew their weapons were too small for the giant human. Their legs were shaking like jelly. Gulliver was, absolutely, dumbfounded here.

Soldier: “Yikes! Giant! Ghost! Help! AHHHHH!!!!”

Gulliver: “Whoa! Calm down people! I don’t mean you any harm.”

The soldiers lowered their weapon. The commander of the troops approached Gulliver.

Commander: It is in our concern about where you want to go.

Gulliver: Ummm… well, you might not believe me. But listen. Once again, I’m lost and ended up in this very place and time. Could you please show way to get back to year 2007?

The commander and his troops exchanged confused glance and they whispered to each other. The commander finally spoke up.

Commander: Well, you may meet His Highness, the Emperor, he might know how to get your back.

Gulliver: Thanks!

Then, the commander entered the castle and soon, he exited with the Emperor with him. (The castle was so small and Gulliver couldn’t enter). Gulliver saluted and the Emperor saluted back. Well, of course Gulliver told the problem to the Emperor. The Emperor nodded in understanding.

Emperor: I understand, Gulliver. Alright. We are willing to help you.

Gulliver: Thank you, Your Excellency.

Then, Gulliver, the Emperor, and his entourage started their journey. There, they found a great building called ‘The Great Wall’.

Gulliver: What’s that, Your Highness?

Emperor: This building called “the Great Wall”. Our ancestors from Qin Dynasty built it.

Gulliver: Yeah, that’s great. (To be honest, Gulliver thought that the building was too small)

Emperor: However, many people died there.

Then, they finally arrived on the twin temple. There, the Emperor told a hermit the problem and asked how to bring Gulliver back.

Emperor: Shi-fu, is there any way to teleported Gulliver back to the year of 2007?

Hermit: yes…yes… of course it is. Go to a place called Forbidden City and you will find the answer

(As usual, a hermit is always mysterious, don't you think?)

After getting a clue from the hermit. They walked together to a place called ‘Forbidden City’. (It was really exist, you know?). Before that, since Gulliver felt a bit thirsty, they walked to a falls and drunk the fresh crystal clear water.

They finally reached the Forbidden City.

Gulliver: Why is it called forbidden?

Emperor: That’s because the palace was so great and there was even a city there. And now, no one was permitted to get into there.

Gulliver shrugged. Soon after, a beam appeared from the ground and…

SWOOOSH!!!!

…Gulliver back to 2007.

The journey was really fun. Gulliver finally decided to leave China. After striking a pose on a gate, Gulliver left the place.

Okay! That’s about “Gulliver Goes To China”

Okay, let me tell you something....

Gulliver there... is ME!

(And I'm still wearing that funny hat of mine, but I really like it, you know...)

MWAHAHAHA!!! Surprised? Well, yeah, that’s why Gulliver there was a girl. Well, most of it was just a crap (especially about the time machine in Gui Lin).

Of course I never be teleport to 20^th century

And of course I never meet any Emperors of Ancient China

And of course I never drink in water from a falls

And most of all, I never think Great Wall is small!

Okay, let me tell you the true story. I went to China in December 2007. I stayed in Shen Zhen. There was a place called “Splendid of China”. My family and I spent a day there. The place was filled with the tiny artificial buildings of Ancient China. That was why I looked like Gulliver there. I’m really excited there since I’m a bit of Ancient Chinese History freak. I like the place so much!

Okay, nothing more to tell.

Oh, and Gulliver says you should go there! It was really fun, you know!
