Second day in Wudang,
Waking up at 0600am wasn't difficult for me until the part which I have to wake Jit Siong up. Check out of the hotel around 0630am and I was amazed that we aren't the last group to report like usual. Breakfast a per normal in the same restaurant with the legendary toilet. Breakfast was simple Chinese fare, but the toilet we found was a first grade toilet in a hotel next to it.
Wanted to climb up Wudang rather than taking cable car, but got persuaded by Mr Chua to take cable car as it is faster. Taking the cable car was a nightmare, queuing up for it was another nightmare too. queue cutting in China is totally different level from Singapore, they have different kind of creative ways,
Level 1 of novice queue cutting > joining the queue in front of you and ignoring protests,
Level 2 of novice queue cutting > rushing through the queue and stand in front of you ignoring your protests,
Level 3 of novice queue cutting > jumping across the fence and join the queue and ignoring your protests
Level 1 of intermediate queue cutting > cutting your queue because she believe she old and always right,
Level 2 of intermdiate queue cutting > cutting your queue and say she have family members in front of you,
Level 3 of intermdiate queue cutting > talk to you and cut your queue
Mastery of queue cutting Level 1> Put her child in front of you as she can squeeze through the gap and come from behind a few minutes later saying her child is queuing for her and spit out tons and tons of reason why she is right,
Mastery of queue cutting Level 2> being a Taoist priest and just appear in front of you
Mastery of queue cutting Level 3> Act like cleaner and stay in front of you till he reach the end of the queue

China peoples are indeed creative and even sticking close to the person in front of you doesn't make queuing up easier as it's a national past time to cut queue, this was indeed a shocking experience to me as the quarrels were heated up and a fight nearly broke up until the guards come in and stop it.
Taking the cable car up was just 50mins but the waiting time was 2hours thus those who climb up had already reach the top long before we arrive.
Saw kids peeing and shitting all around me today when I was queuing up, the girl in the picture below pee right in front of us in full view of the public, kids look cute and innocent until they start to pee, shit, spit and litters all around. In China kid have their pants splinted so they can just poo without taking out their pants
