My Journey to Beijing 2007 - 11/12/07 - 14/12/07

i was in Beijing for 8 days, 7 nights actually, but after the trip to Chengde, the rest of the trip was mainly shopping and stuff.

we went to Wang Fu Jing, where alot of shopping complexes and shops were located. there was this really really huge bookstore, 6 FLOORS!!! and the Mandarin books there were cheap , while those imported English books were about the same price as M'sia. i really really love to go China to buy CDs though, it is so freaking cheap. haha.

overall, the food really sucks. it was revolting, everyday the same freaking dish of food, with the same vegetable. mygwad. and one day, we went to eat this "steamboat" for lunch, where there was mainly nothing, just loads of vegetables, and thin pieces of goat and chicken meat, and toufu, and each person 1 egg, that's it. and the soup was horrible plus terrible. i 100x prefer my grandma's steamboat we eat every year during Chinese New Year, and of course occasional times when my family does it. gwad.

too many days concentrating in Beijing is not really a good thing though, it kinda made me homesick for my bed. haha. XD but still, i enjoyed the trip very much. but i still hate a certain things about China people, as in they smoke too much, and spit everywhere, maybe it's much better now, because i think they implemented a fine for this immoral and unhygienic act. and the sales person especially girls are just so horribly rude and garang, mygwad.

.i forgot to post this picture in the previous post. this is the Pu Ta La Gong.

goodbye Beijing! i hope organising the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 would greatly improve your country as you can do much more better. XD
