💒 Went to a wedding in China... but became the most exhausting adventure trip of my life!

Let me tell you, everyone... this is probably "the most exhausting wedding of my life!" 😂

The thing is, our friend is going to get married in his hometown of China and coincide with China Day, and the Chinese know that there were a lot of travelers.

We left Thailand at 3 am to Tianfu Airport around 7 am. It was good. My friend said that he would book high-speed rail tickets to his home city... but "All tickets are full!" I understand. 😩

So I had to take a ride instead. At first I said, "It's only been four hours ~," but then it turned out to be eight hours!!!

Traffic jam, rain, winding road... ride until it becomes a car seat, mom. 😭

It's almost 8: 00 to the city. It's called asphyxiation without a massage.

🎊 wedding day.

Get up early to gather with the bride. Prepare to welcome the groom.

In China, it is customary for the groom to "play a gate game" before entering the bride, that is, a bridesmaid will cross the door, and then have to give out "Hong Pao" to pass through the gate. 💸

Before getting in, it must be paid until the doorman is satisfied. 555

Once you get through, the groom has to "get the bridal shoes" to put them on to get them out... cute, but so chaotic. 😂

Then there will be a Benz convoy to pick up the whole row of brides!

On the way, there's also a bagpipe, a firecracker, a city dugout 🔥.

The atmosphere is really spectacular like a Chinese movie.

🚗 the peak of the trip.

We thought that he would organize an event in a hotel.

But no, the groom's house!

And very deep... like a village in the middle of a valley. 😆

When everyone gave away cigarettes and Hong Pao

We were like, "Eh... why do cigarettes?" But I have to accept it. I don't dare to refuse, haha.

Only when reaching home... Oh! The table is full.

The old people in the village will come to the whole town.

We are very hungry. The breakfast has not been touched. To buy something to eat, still have to ask for a convenience store (which does not have!)

🍲 The ceremony is over... it's time for the "Revolving Chinese Table of the Village!"

After the ceremony, everyone went straight to eat. 🍚

At first we thought it was a typical Chinese table with dozens of tables to accommodate guests, but when we walked to see it... Oh! There were only less than 10 tables in China. 😳

But the people who come here... should come to the whole village, Mom!!!

The food served seems like a menu that the villagers helped make, both fried, boiled, fried.

But this eating system is weird and cute at the same time -

When you finish eating, you have to get out and let the "next guest" sit down. 😅

I'm so hungry to faint. I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I have to stand around the table.

Before the queue we eat, it's over two in the afternoon!!!😭

But only when the food comes... is like a snug!!!

Stacked in layers, the plates haven't been lifted yet. The new plates have arrived.

It's called eating, startled, "Is this a buffet course or a dish battle!" 😂

And then suddenly he came and knocked on the table and asked

"Finished eating, young ~ so that new people will sit down."

Is like... whoa, this is really a Chinese village circulation table!!

Can say only one word that is extremely Chinese!

... Read moreเผื่อใครกำลังจะ “ไปงานแต่งที่จีน” โดยเฉพาะงานที่จัดที่บ้านเจ้าบ่าวแบบในหมู่บ้านกลางภูเขา เรารวมทิปเล็กๆ จากประสบการณ์ตรงไว้ให้ (กันเหนื่อย + กันพลาด) เพราะหน้างานจริงต่างจากที่คิดมากค่ะ 1) แต่งกายไปบ้านเจ้าบ่าวบนเขา: สวยได้ แต่อย่าแลกกับความทรมาน ถ้าสถานที่เป็นหมู่บ้าน/ทางดิน/ฝนตกแบบที่เราเจอ แนะนำรองเท้าหุ้มส้นหรือสนีกเกอร์สีสุภาพไปก่อน แล้วค่อยเปลี่ยนเป็นรองเท้าสวยตอนถึงจุดพิธี จะช่วยมากเรื่องเดินบนพื้นลื่นและโคลน ส่วนชุด ถ้าเป็นธีมจีนสีแดงหรือโทนมงคลก็เข้ากับบรรยากาศห้องเจ้าสาวที่ตกแต่งสีแดงและสัญลักษณ์มงคลดีมาก แต่ควรพกเสื้อคลุมบางๆ เพราะบนเขาอากาศเย็น/ชื้นกว่าตัวเมือง และพกร่มหรือเสื้อกันฝนแบบพับได้ เผื่อเจอฝนระหว่างขบวนรถแต่งงาน 2) เข้าใจ “พิธีแต่งงานจีนโบราณ” เวอร์ชันบ้านๆ จะได้อินกับงาน หลายบ้านยังทำธรรมเนียม “เกมด่านประตู” ให้เจ้าบ่าวแจกอั่งเปาเพื่อขอผ่านเพื่อนเจ้าสาว แล้วตามด้วยภารกิจหาของ/หารองเท้าเจ้าสาวมาใส่ให้ ช่วงนี้แขกอย่างเรามักยืนดู ถ่ายรูป และช่วยเชียร์ได้ แต่ควรถามก่อนว่าถ่ายวิดีโอได้ไหม เพราะบางคนถือเคล็ดเรื่องฤกษ์หรือไม่อยากลงโซเชียล 3) เตรียมซองอั่งเปาและเงินสด (สำคัญมากเวลาอยู่ไกลเมือง) งานในหมู่บ้านอาจไม่มีร้านสะดวกซื้อและบางทีสัญญาณ/อินเทอร์เน็ตไม่เสถียร การพกเงินสดติดตัวไว้จะช่วยทั้งค่ารถ ค่าซื้อขนม น้ำดื่ม หรือใส่ซองอั่งเปาให้เจ้าบ่าวเจ้าสาว ส่วนจำนวนเงินขึ้นอยู่กับความสนิทและมาตรฐานของพื้นที่ ถ้าไม่แน่ใจ ให้ถามเพื่อนเจ้าภาพตรงๆ จะชัวร์ที่สุด 4) เรื่องของขวัญแปลกๆ เช่น “แจกบุหรี่” รับยังไงให้สุภาพ บางงานมีแจกบุหรี่/ของชำร่วยให้แขก เป็นธรรมเนียมในบางพื้นที่ ถ้าเราไม่สูบ แนะนำรับไว้ก่อนเพื่อมารยาท แล้วค่อยเก็บไว้/ฝากคนที่สูบได้ภายหลัง ไม่ต้องแสดงท่าทีรังเกียจ เพราะคนให้ตั้งใจต้อนรับจริงๆ 5) โต๊ะจีนหมุนเวียน: กินให้ทัน แต่ไม่ต้องรีบจนเครียด ถ้าโต๊ะมีไม่กี่โต๊ะแต่แขกมาทั้งหมู่บ้าน ระบบจะเป็น “กินเสร็จลุกให้รอบต่อไป” ดังนั้นก่อนเริ่มพิธีควรกินอะไรเล็กๆ รองท้อง (ขนมปัง นม ถั่ว) และพกน้ำดื่มไว้เอง พออาหารลงโต๊ะจะมารัวมาก ทั้งหม้อไฟและกับข้าวหลายจาน เทคนิคของเราคือ ตักจานที่ชอบก่อน 1-2 อย่าง แล้วค่อยไล่ชิม ไม่งั้นมัวแต่ถ่ายรูปจนไม่ได้กินจริง 6) ถ้าเป็น “งานแต่งหญิงหญิง” หรือคู่รักเพศเดียวกันในจีน แนะนำเช็กความสบายใจของเจ้าภาพเรื่องการพูดถึงสถานะ/การโพสต์รูป เพราะกฎหมายและทัศนคติในแต่ละพื้นที่ต่างกัน บางงานอาจจัดแบบพิธีครอบครัว ไม่เรียกเป็นพิธีสมรสตามกฎหมาย แต่บรรยากาศอบอุ่นและจริงจังไม่แพ้งานแต่งทั่วไป ถ้าเราให้เกียรติและถามก่อนโพสต์ ก็จะปลอดภัยและน่ารักที่สุด สรุปคือ งานแต่งที่จีนแบบบ้านเจ้าบ่าวกลางหุบเขาอาจเหนื่อย (โดยเฉพาะช่วงเทศกาลคนเดินทางเยอะ) แต่ได้เห็นพิธีจีนจริงๆ ตั้งแต่ห้องเจ้าสาวสีแดง เกมด่านประตู อั่งเปา ขบวนรถ ไปจนถึงโต๊ะจีนหมุนเวียน บอกเลยว่าเป็นประสบการณ์ที่ทั้งโหดและโคตรคุ้มค่ะ

The Exhausting Side of Being Introverted
There’s a part of being introverted that no one really talks about. It’s not the quiet. It’s the exhaustion. Not because you don’t like people. But because you absorb everything. The tone shifts. The small expressions. The energy in the room. And somehow… you carry it home with you.
