한번만 내 맘을 들어줘
Every day every night I am missing you
내 곁에 없어도, 이젠 볼 수 없어도
언제나 내 맘엔 똑같은 너인걸
Beijing trip was... Cool. For one, the temperature there isn't as bad as I thought. Oh hey but when the wind blows... The chill is really unbearable. Basically I was wrapped up like a dumpling throughout this whole trip. Yeh, pathetic. Anyway, I can't really remember all the places we went. So I'll just write down the main points :D
The hotel is great! 5 star hotel, spacious and cool. I love the bathroom :D
First place we visited, the Olympic stadium (Bird Nest? Bird's Nest? Birds' Nest?) and the Water Cube! I personally don't find it impressive, I mean, what's so amazing about a stadium seriously. Oh we didn't get to enter the Water Cube as it was under construction. Would have been more impressed.
The place I love best though, is the Forbidden City. Or 故宮 in Chinese. I prefer the previous name for it, 紫禁城. Sounds nicer. Haha! The palace is reaaaaaally huge. We spent 3hours walking in there, and the worst idea is, we didn't finish visiting the whole palace. The tour guide said it'd take a year to finish touring. O.o Still, I'm impressed! All the buildings were built without nails and something else I can't remember. Meaning, the whole palace is built with only cement (or something similar)! Coolios ^^
We climbed the Great Wall of China too! Alright, I didn't even reach the first stop. Sorry, it's really scary looking down from the top! Daddy and bro reached the first stop. Another guy from our tour reached the third. O.o Visited some other ancient China buildings too, but none really caught my attention.
Other than tourist hotspots, we visit a place which sells silk products! Daddy bought silk quilt, quilt covers, pillow covers and bed sheet. Total of three sets, $6140RMB, which is around $1228SGD. Laugh out loud. Bought pearl necklaces (yes, real pearl!), bio-gold pearl cream and pearl powder. I daresay my family IS a spendthrift! :/
So we met this family with three kids, age 8, 9 and 10. They're quite cute, especially the little girl :) I don't really like the 9 years old boy though, initially I thought he was good looking for his age, but his attitude is... Bullshit. He snatched my Ipod Touch away and played with it for damn long, and even when I asked for it back nicely, he just continued playing. Gotta love the oldest brother, he is an angel! Mature for his age, and quite cute I must say. Haha.
And!!! China's rice is really nice. :D Overall, I rate this trip 3.8/5! Quarreled with mummy during the trip, she really pisses me off sometimes. Photos are up on my Facebook.
