Shiyan bus can be divided into bus and CMB. I just took a CMB. 8 yuan (bus 10 yuan). The shuttle bus stops all the way, gets on and off passengers along the way, and arrives at the terminal "Shiyan South Bus Station" (opposite to the railway station) around 7:30. After getting off the bus, I originally planned to take a bus, but it was raining and a taxi came forward to attract passengers, so I changed my mind temporarily and took a taxi to 8 yuan to Shiyan Passenger Transport Center Station.
The "Passenger Transport Center Station" has specially set up tourist ticketing windows for Wudang Mountain and Shennongjia. At present, the shuttle bus of "Muyu" (the tourist distribution center in Shennongjia) only leaves at 9: 00 a.m. every day, and the fare is 85 yuan, with insurance 1 yuan. After purchasing the air ticket, contact Sara Hotel in Muyu Town immediately to confirm that you have reserved a room for me. The boss said that the bus (Shiyan → Muyu) would pass in front of his hotel and then let the driver stop.
I haven't been to Shiyan, and I don't think I will come again in the future. Seeing that it was still early, I put my luggage on 5 yuan and planned to travel around the surrounding cities lightly. First, I walked into a small restaurant and ordered steamed buns and soybean milk. This is the second breakfast for 7 yuan today. Shiyan → Muyu is 270 kilometers, and it takes 5 ~ 6 hours by car. You might as well eat more breakfast. Walking after eating, I found a strange river in the back street of the station, about 50 meters wide, and the bottom of the river was paved with cement. The riverside is where the local people have breakfast. It seems very lively. If I knew this, I should come here for dinner. I went back to the station around 8:40, sat in the waiting room for a while, bought a bag of potato chips and 4 yuan, then got my luggage back and boarded the bus.
Most of the passengers in the car are middle-aged and elderly people, and they are also preparing to travel to Shennongjia. The car left Shiyan and entered the mountainous area. Farmhouses appear from time to time on the roadside, which seems to be well built. 1 1:30 arrived in fangxian county, without stopping, and directly crossed the urban area and entered Shennongjia mountain area. Graffiti selling guns flashed from time to time at the edge of the roadside cliff, and the mobile phone number was openly left, which made me doubt the security situation in Shennongjia. /kloc-stop in front of the roadside "Wu Shen" farmhouse at about 0/3: 00, drivers enjoy free lunch, and passengers have meals: fried vegetarian dishes 10 yuan/plate, 25 yuan with meat dishes, and rice 1 yuan/bowl. I ordered wild bamboo shoots, fried meat, and rice. That's 26 yuan.
After dinner, continue on your way and arrive at Muyu at 14:30. The bus stopped at Sara Hotel, and the boss got on the bus to meet me. Computer room 128 yuan/day, booked for three days, and paid the deposit to 400 yuan. My boss also runs a travel agency and recommended me a "one-day tour of Jiuhu Lake in Shennongding". As I am over 70 years old, I just need to pay 100 yuan (fare), so I immediately decided to join a tour group tomorrow. I also plan to visit Tian Yan Scenic Area. The boss said that we can only rent a car (400 yuan/day). There are already two other people in the shop, so we can share the fare. He will continue to think for himself. If someone participates, the price will be lower, so I decided to go to Tian Yan the day after tomorrow. There is also a "Xiangxi source" next to Muyu Town, which can be reached on foot. I want to hurry in the afternoon, but the boss said that Tian Yan's trip would go through Xiangxi Garden to return to Muyu. The time is about three o'clock in the afternoon. We can go to Xiangxi Garden again the day after tomorrow and visit Muyu Town today. Because of the sequelae of climbing Wudang Mountain, my legs and feet have been sore. I thought about it and accepted his suggestion. Dinner was served in the restaurant affiliated to Sara Hotel, with bacon and bracken bibimbap 20 yuan and beer 4 yuan, which was not bad. After dinner, I bought potato chip crispy rice and strawberry pie in a small supermarket nearby, totaling 13 yuan, and I am going to visit the mountain tomorrow.
The next stop of Shennongjia is Yichang, which was originally planned to stay for one day. In the evening, I surfed the Internet in my room and booked a "one-day tour of two dams and one gorge" on May 26th through Yichang Overseas Chinese Travel Agency. This project is a group battle for individual travelers, and it has two grades: "economy" and "luxury". The difference lies in the ship type. Luxury 270 yuan/person, but I am a scenic spot over 70 years old, free of charge, and I can get a discount to 240 yuan. Then arrange air tickets from Wuhan to Xiamen. Initially, it was planned to be held on May 30th. However, after online inquiry, I learned that 5.30 discount is less, and 5.3 1 is the most favorable, which can be as low as 380 yuan/person (excluding airport construction and fuel price increase), so I decided to postpone my return to Xiamen for one day. I immediately called XJ, my son who works in Shanghai, and asked him to help me buy an online ticket from Wuhan to Xiamen at 5.3 1 (I didn't open online banking myself). He quickly got me the flight CZ384 1 of China Southern Airlines at a lower price, as long as it was in 370 yuan. The time to return to Xiamen will be postponed, and the stay in Hubei will be increased by one day accordingly. The plan is to do another "one-day tour" in Yichang. But in this way, the time to stay in Wuhan Hotel will be delayed again, so I called the customer service website again and asked to change the check-in time of Wuhan Junan Hotel from 5.28 ~ 29 to 5.29 ~ 30. I will reply "change succeeded" soon after the call.
On the morning of May 24th, I ate beef noodles 10 yuan and eggs 1.5 yuan opposite Sara Hotel. When I returned to the hotel after dinner, my boss introduced me to a little girl's tour guide, who led me to meet the "army" in front of a big hotel. Many donkey friends who came from Shiyan with me by car yesterday gathered here. They all look for accommodation after getting off the bus, and the house price is cheaper than mine. The four of them live in a farmhouse, and the standard room only needs 40 yuan/day.
Because there are many tourists taking part in the tour, the travel agency dispatched buses and minibuses, and I was arranged to take a minibus (limited to 7 people). I handed in 100 before boarding the bus, and my ID card is temporarily kept by the tour guide. Arrive at Yakou at 8:30. This is the gate of Shennongding Scenic Area. There is a tall stone tablet with the words "Shennongjia" inscribed by Qian Qichen. After the tour guide went through the admission formalities, he led everyone into the scenic spot and returned my ID card. From then on, she followed the cart and the seven of us were arranged by the minibus driver.
Shennongding Scenic Area is located in the southwest of Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, featuring well-preserved virgin forests and biodiversity. There are many peaks above 3000 meters above sea level in the territory, so it is also known as the "roof of Central China". The car climbed the mountain all the way, and since there was no guide, all seven of us silently watched the scenery. There is a Nanjing couple on the bus. They also came from Shiyan with me yesterday, and they also stayed in Sara Hotel. During the conversation, I learned that they were the two people that the hotel owner said would go to Tian Yan tomorrow.
Arriving at Shennong Valley around 9 o'clock, the driver gave us 20 minutes to lead us to the observation deck on the high slope of the roadside. "Shennong Valley", formerly known as "Scenery Pass", is the first scenic spot in Shennongjia. There is a local proverb "Come to Shennongjia if you don't come to Scenery Pass". "Ya" means a narrow valley, and the word "Ya" is crowned with scenery, indicating that this valley has excellent scenery. Renaming it "Shennong Valley" is a recent event, and the name of the place called "Shennong" seems to be louder. The observation deck is facing the "scenic pass". Standing on the platform, I can see those strange rocks like bamboo shoots and columns under my feet. The cliffs ahead are deep and the mountains are green. The distant peaks are shrouded in mist, and the farther they get, the more hazy they become, and gradually enter the clouds.
According to a tour guide, the canyon in front of us originated from the "Yanshan Crustal Movement" in the dinosaur era, and the "Shennongjia" area gradually rose, causing the southern stratum to fracture and then being cut by running water. Over time, it gradually formed a canyon as deep as kilometers. But unfortunately, such a beautiful scenery can only be seen from a distance, and it is impossible to have a close contact with it. Moreover, after deducting the time-consuming uphill and downhill, the 20 minutes given by the minibus driver only allowed me to set up a tripod and take a selfie of "coming here".
Boarding the bus and moving on, I stopped in front of a tall tower, which is also a scenic spot called "Watchtower". The tower is made of steel and may be used for fire observation. Visitors are not allowed to climb it. A boulder is the only scenic spot here, with the words "Shennongding" on it, with an altitude of 3 105.4m, indicating that the opposite mountain is the main peak of Shennongjia. However, there is also a stone tablet nearby, which is only over 2800 meters above sea level. The two monuments are not far apart, but both are above 300 meters above sea level. I guess the foot of the mountain in this place should be only more than 2800 meters, and 3 105.4 meters refers to the mountain peak in the distance opposite, that is, the altitude of Shennongding.
After staying for about 15 minutes, I kept going and stopped at a wide parking lot at 9:50. The driver said that this place is the best scenic spot in Shennongding Scenic Area, called "Slate". He gave us 1 hour free time and asked us to return to our original place before 10:50. Slate is 2160m above sea level. It's a ridge with some strange stones scattered on it. Our tour itinerary is to walk along the wooden plank road, and there are warnings everywhere along the way, such as "Beware of poisonous snakes, don't leave the sidewalk" and "Beware of getting lost, don't leave the path". Some caves still have wooden signs of "Savage Habitat". According to some tour guides, this area is frequented by Shennongjia savages. Wild people's hair, feces and bamboo nests were found in Aro's bamboo forest. However, I guess these are just legends or gimmicks. Our minibus driver (from Shennongjia) claimed that he didn't believe there would be savages in Shennongjia area at all. Turn a circle, "slate" left me with the overall impression that "not in the first place". In essence, it should belong to the underdeveloped limestone karst landform. In addition to its "Stone Forest" located at the top of the mountain, there is a legend of savage. The scenery can't be compared with the Castel landform in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the visibility is even worse than the scaly hidden stone forest in Yong 'an, Fujian.
After reporting to the minibus driver at the appointed time and place, we drove on and passed several alpine observation platforms. Everyone asked to stop and watch, but the driver refused, because these items were not in our travel itinerary. 1 1:05 arrived at the "Prince Cliff" scenic spot, and the driver let everyone off. He said that Prince Cliff is a ravine and the main scenic spot is virgin forest. We are now at the entrance of Prince Cliff. There is only one road to Prince Cliff, all the way down. It takes about 1 hour to reach the exit, and the driver will drive there and wait.
The name "Prince Cliff" comes from folklore, where a prince once lived. This prince is Li Xian, later Tang Zhongzong, and he is also the son of Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong. There is a "three provincial stations" next to the entrance of the scenic spot. It is said that Li Xian was here in those days, "three provinces in a day", but there is another saying that you can see three provinces (Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hubei) from here.
Into the valley, along a wooden plank road down the mountain, surrounded by lush, tall and straight coniferous forests, some large set up wooden signs, showing that the trees are more than a thousand years old. But I feel that there are many deceptive elements in it, because I have seen many ancient trees that are only 500 ~ 600 years old in the mountainous areas of Fujian, and they all look stronger than these "Millennium" trees. On the way, I also crossed a large rhododendron forest, but unfortunately the flowering period has passed and there are no rhododendrons left. However, it can be seen from the pictures displayed by the roadside that if we can catch up with the flowering period, the scenery in this area can definitely be described by Bai Juyi's poem "Looking back, peaches and plums are colorless and hibiscus is not a flower".
1 1:40, walk out of the valley, get on the bus again and go to Dajiu Lake. The driver said it would take more than an hour to drive so far. The low van seat made me feel uncomfortable, and Ms. Nanjing in the same car even asked to get off and vomit. /kloc-around 0/3: 00, the bus stopped in front of a restaurant, which is the designated place for our individual group to eat, and another bus led by a tour guide also stopped here. However, most tourists bring their own dry food and choose to eat here, with a total of less than 10 people. I am one of the diners, bacon, lettuce, 38 yuan, vegetable and bean curd soup 15 yuan, rice, 2 yuan, a total of 55 yuan. The Nanjing couple in the same car did not eat because the lady was not feeling well. I asked Tian Yan if she would go again tomorrow. The man replied, "That's enough!" .
After dinner, move on, with the goal of "Dajiuhu Wetland Park". Dajiu Lake, also known as Jiuhuping, belongs to a typical subalpine basin. Its central area is wide and flat, with an altitude of 1.770- 1.800 meters, surrounded by mountains of 2200-2600 meters. A small stream runs through the basin and connects nine lakes in series, hence the name Dajiu Lake.
/kloc-enter the park around 0/4: 00. The main landscape here is one lake after another, and the lakes are surrounded by large grasslands. According to a tour guide, these grasslands used to be wetlands, but now the weather is dry and the wetlands have become grasslands. Large-scale economic development since 1980s, planting grass and raising livestock, and introducing out-of-season vegetables in high mountains have also aggravated this change. After the official listing of Dajiuhu National Wetland Park in 2009, the process of turning this wetland into grassland has been effectively curbed. According to the minibus driver, all the people engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry in this area will move out in the future, and the houses built will also be demolished. At that time, the whole wetland can be restored to its original appearance. The reason for fighting such a big battle is mainly because of the need of "South-to-North Water Transfer Project". Danjiangkou Reservoir is the source of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, and the water in the reservoir comes from the Han River. One of the main tributaries of the Han River is the blocking river, and the Dajiuhu wetland is the source of the blocking river. Therefore, the water under our feet will flow to the capital Beijing in the future.
/kloc-I left Dajiu Lake at 0/5: 30, and then I endured a hard drive for nearly two hours, and went backwards along the original road to Xiaolongtan Scenic Area near the entrance (duckbill) of Shennongding Scenic Area. On the way through Shennong Valley, I saw a mass of white clouds rolling out from the bottom of the valley, and the scenery was spectacular. I asked to stop, but the driver still refused. He said it was just fog, not clouds, and there was nothing to see. In fact, besides planning to take a photo of Zhang Yunjing, I also want to stop, because I want to get off and get some air and move my legs and feet. Sitting in this van for a long time is unbearable not only for Ms. Nanjing, but also for me, who has never been carsick. The Nanjing couple clearly told me that tomorrow's "Tian Yan Scenic Spot" has been decided to give up, on the one hand, because it is too uncomfortable to take this minibus, on the other hand, it means that "Tian Yan Scenic Spot" is not a strange place.
/kloc-arrived at Xiaolongtan at 0/7: 35, mainly to visit the "Wildlife Rescue and Protection Center", the biggest attraction of which was a few golden monkeys. Golden monkey is a rare animal endemic to China, which is generally divided into Yunnan Golden Monkey, Guizhou Golden Monkey and Sichuan Golden Monkey. Shennongjia golden monkey is a subspecies of Sichuan golden monkey community. These monkeys in the protection center received treatment after being injured, and now they have lost the ability to survive in the wild and can only stay here for the elderly. A few of them are just their descendants, so they are not afraid of people and don't care about taking pictures. I guess they may be the legendary "savages".
After watching the golden monkey, I went straight back to Muyu and informed the owner of Sara Hotel that since the Nanjing couple decided to give up Tian Yan, I wouldn't go. I'm going to visit Muyu tomorrow and Yichang the next morning. The boss said that there is a "Xiangxi Garden" scenic spot and a "Guanmen Mountain" scenic spot at the north and south ends of Muyu Town, both of which can be reached on foot. So I immediately decided to visit Xiangxi Garden tomorrow morning and Guanmen Mountain in the afternoon. I was too lazy to go out at night, so I used the "rice crust" and "strawberry pie" I bought last night to have tea in my room as a simple dinner. On the one hand, the "big meal" at noon is too full, on the other hand, it is a little tired.
On May 25th, I plan to go to Yichang tomorrow morning. After getting up in the morning, I will go to Muyu Station to inquire about the shuttle bus information from Muyu to Yichang. Muyu goes to Yichang twice a day in the morning and evening, and the fare is 65 yuan/person. The early buses are 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock, and I immediately decided to choose the latter. Yichang has no plans for that day, and the hotel has been booked in advance. There is no need to catch the 7 o'clock bus in a hurry. Then have breakfast near the station, beef sausage noodles 8 yuan, baked potatoes and half a bowl of 2 yuan. The potatoes produced here are very unique, each one is only the size of a quail egg.
After dinner, I went to Xiangxi Garden. Before I left the town, I met a young man who visited Shennongding with me yesterday. He also wanted to go to Xiangxi Garden, so he went with me. This man works in Shenzhen, and his boss is his brother, so he enjoys the privilege of traveling frequently and doesn't have to worry about his work. The young man claims to have been to many places, just like me, because it is difficult to find a partner in the same trade and always travels alone.
I walked to Xiangxiyuan at 8:40, and I entered for free with my ID card for the elderly. The Shenzhen guy showed his student ID card while studying, and was also allowed a half-ticket discount. Xiangxi, a tributary of the Yangtze River, is famous for feeding Qu Yuan and Wang Zhaojun. There is a spring on the hillside of the scenic spot, which is the source of Xiangxi. They walked along the plank road by the stream and came to the end of the road. They saw a clear pool with a huge stone on it, which read "Xiangxi Garden". The surface of the pool seems calm, but the bottom is dark and turbulent. A large number of clear springs overflow the pool edge and descend the mountain, forming a turbulent Xiangxi. This spring is actually the outlet of an underground river, and the water of the underground river comes from the "scenic mountain" in Shennongding Scenic Area.
Xiangxi Garden is a small scenic spot, which is basically set along the stream. We watched and took photos all the way, and it took about an hour to walk from the gate to the source of the stream. End the sightseeing at 9:40, turn back the same way, and return to the gate of the scenic spot at 10:20. The Shenzhen guy is going to Yichang in the afternoon, and the trip to Shennongjia ends here. When it comes to the impression of Shennongjia, the two of us have a high degree of consistency and both think it is a "realistic problem under fame." Shennongjia is not only inferior to Jiuzhai Huanglong, Siguniang Mountain and Hailuogou in Sichuan, but also inferior to Yuntai Mountain in Jiaozuo, Henan. According to that guy in Shenzhen, it's only a scenic spot in Hubei Province at best. People in this province might as well take advantage of the holiday to travel, and mainlanders don't have to come all the way. In addition, according to my opinion, Shennongjia has a vast area and relatively few scenic spots. Go on road trip's words, according to their own preferences, parking anytime and anywhere, or there will be some fun. But if you follow the tour group like us, you are unlikely to see much real beauty. All scenic spots in Shennongjia are allowed to enter by car, but they must pay extra.
1 1 Return to Muyu Town and choose the restaurant next to Sara Hotel for lunch. Fried bamboo shoots with bacon, 28 yuan, Chinese cabbage and bean curd soup, 12 yuan, rice, 1 Yuan, totally 4 1 Yuan. After dinner, return to Sara Hotel to have a rest. 14:30, start again and walk to Guanmen Mountain. Before leaving, I gave the hotel owner 65 yuan and entrusted him to buy a ticket to Yichang at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Several bus drivers are guests of his hotel, so it is more convenient to buy tickets. According to the instructions of the hotel owner: go south along the main street of Muyu Town, then go to National Highway 209, 15: 18, and walk to the roadside where there are no more houses. "See a wide square", which is the entrance of Guanmen Mountain Scenic Area.
Show your ID card and get a free ticket, but you still have to spend 20 yuan to buy an environmentally-friendly battery ticket. The conductor exchanged telephone numbers with me and told me that I could always ask them for help if necessary. The gate of the scenic spot is very unique, called "maternal love" gate. Take the battery car as soon as you enter the door. Because there are few tourists, the car is specially for me. Guanmen Mountain Scenic Area is located in a narrow river valley, with high terrain in the south and low terrain in the north, with an altitude of about 1500m. The whole scenic spot is also set along the canyon, consisting of 8 kilometers of roads and 8 kilometers of plank roads. There is a stream that runs parallel to the plank road and the highway. The peaks on both sides are towering and the trees cover the sky. Tourists usually take a battery car along the road to Shennongjia Natural Museum. After the visit, they can return to the gate of the scenic spot by car or along the plank road again.
The battery car walked slowly, passing through many scenic spots such as Orchid Garden, Mela Garden, Rhododendron Garden, Medicine Garden, Bee Garden, Rose Garden, Hongfeng Garden and Baiguoyuan. The car plays GPS positioning explanation, but does not stop. The driving girl said that these scenic spots are just for tourists to "watch the road". It takes about 20 minutes to reach the museum, which mainly displays various endemic animal and plant specimens in Shennongjia area. In addition, there is a 4D cinema.
The first floor of the museum is the Botanical Museum. A dedicated girl in red came forward to explain it to me. I came to Shennongjia this time mainly to see the famous "Rhododendron Sea". According to online data, it should be the season when azaleas are in full bloom on the mountain. However, I, running all the way, missed it. I didn't even see a rhododendron. Yesterday, I listened to the tour guide in Xiaolongtan, saying that I didn't miss the flowering period of azaleas on the mountain, just because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the petals of azaleas in bud were all knocked off. However, the girl in front told me that the best time to enjoy flowers in Shennongjia is April every year. The azaleas at the foot of the mountain bloom in mid-April, and it is around the beginning of May when they open to the foot of the mountain. In addition, Shennongjia also has a unique "dove flower", scientifically called "Davidia involucrata", which also blooms in early April.
After visiting the Botanical Museum, I went upstairs to visit the Animal Museum. The animal specimens here are all arranged according to the real scene in the forest. Seeing that the museum was empty, I quickly set up a tripod and tried to take a photo of myself and the birds and animals in the forest. While I was busy, the girl in red came to see me again and informed me that there was a 4D movie at 16:00 in the cinema, which was about to be released. So I quickly picked up my tripod and hurried downstairs. To watch a 4D movie, you need to buy special glasses and paper, and the price is only 2 yuan. The content of the film is to introduce the geological evolution history of Shennongjia and the legend of Shennongjia. The image is very three-dimensional, but also blowing, the seat will vibrate with the plot of the film, which is very worth a try. After watching the movie, it was about 16:40, so I went back to the animal museum to continue filming a trip here.
Then along the path behind the exhibition hall, I went to the "Giant Panda Breeding Research Center". I heard from the girl in red that there is a giant salamander, now 12 1 year old. On the way through Yerendong, the electro-optic sound effects created a rather horrible scene. In the darkness, two furry "savages" suddenly came out and reached out to shake hands with tourists. These two "savages" are short. I guess they are dressed by little girls. 17: 15 walked to the "Giant Panda Breeding Research Center". 12 1 year-old giant salamander was raised in an inconspicuous pool, and the clear mountain spring passed through the pool, creating an almost natural living environment for centenarians. A staff member told me that there are always thousands of giant salamanders in various pools here. They hide under rocks during the day and only come out at night. I asked if it was commercial to raise so many giant salamanders, and the other party replied "only for scientific research".
There is a sika deer farm ahead, so I won't watch it. I will take a photo by the stream at 17:35 as a souvenir, and then turn around and take the battery car back to the museum. 18:05 Walking out of the gate of the scenic spot, the battery car is for me alone. In the square outside the door, I met a lone ranger like me. He suggested stopping at National Highway 209 to return to Muyu. However, after waiting for a while, there was no car and they had to walk. Not long after we left, we each received a phone call from the ticket office of the scenic spot and asked if we still lived in the scenic spot. They could send a car to pick us up. We replied that we had gone out and sincerely thanked them for their serious service to tourists. Walking to Muyu Town, I saw a small restaurant openly playing the sign of giant salamander dish. The lone ranger went to inquire, and the proprietress said that it was 800 yuan a catty, and then asked about the origin of the giant salamander. The proprietress was silent.
This lone ranger arrived at Muyu this afternoon, put down his backpack at any hotel, and then rushed to Guanmen Mountain. Because I don't have a deep impression of the hotel I stayed in, I only remember that it was near the mouth of the town, and I couldn't find it at the moment. We/kloc-broke up at 0/8: 50, and I moved on. He stayed where he was and continued his hotel "discovery journey". I met an old couple in Anhui not long after I left. They also visited Shennongding with me yesterday, and they came to Muyu from Shiyan in the same car the day before yesterday. The two men are the same age as me, and they have the same idea of traveling. They all think that they should go out and take more photos when they can still walk around. When they can't go out, they will sit at home and recall the past. During the conversation, both sides felt that they had met each other late, so they stood on the street and took a photo together. They will also go to Yichang tomorrow, but they will take the 7 o'clock bus. After bidding farewell to the couple, I walked on, passed a supermarket, went in and bought a bowl of instant noodles and a bag of crispy rice, 7 yuan. Go back to the hotel to meet my boss. He bought me a ticket to Yichang at 8 o'clock tomorrow. In the evening, I will eat instant noodles and crispy rice in my room.
