Back from Beijing…

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I am back… Wow… really enjoy myself… although we spent quite a lot for this trip… and also I became darker due to the hot sun in Beijing… anyhow… I am still recovering from my excitement… Today is my second day back to work… still not in the working mode yet…

Beijing is big… lots of ppl… lots of vehicles… lots of skyscrappers… historical sceneries are great… during the olden days… those emperors and empresses really knew how to enjoy themselves and let other ppl suffered… the Forbidden City is so so so big… dunno how they "walk" around… can got lost easily…

But one thing I could not stand is the shopping… they will put sky-high price for all their goods… and expect us to bargain and bargain… really can’t stand this… can get high blood pressure and heart attack after going shopping… once in a while bargain is fine… I can’t imagine evrytime going shopping need to bargain… OMG…

Also the toilet… hmm… it’s better than most of the countryside which I heard from others… the one is Beijing have doors but somehow… some don’t have locks… so if you are not careful… the door will just open up when you are in the middle of your "process"… luckily our tour members are rwally nice ppl… we help each other in the toilet…

Ok… just until here for this time… will write more later…

Countdown for Honeymoon…

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Countdown… 10 more days… Beijing… here I come… Really looking forward to this trip… Maybe because it’s my honeymoon… Well although my dream honeymoon destination would be Europe or Japan… but well these two places are really too expensive and out of our budget… But anyway I am still very very happy…

Have lots of things to prepare before starting our trip… have to exchange currency… Luckily now RMB has dropped a bit… maybe this weekend will do the exchange… How much to exchange??? hmm… dunno yet…

Also need to surf the net for some information on the weather to prepare what types of clothings to pack… very important… and many many more…

Will take many many photos and will share some "selected" photos with you all… Ha…
