BeiJinG ParT I

took abt 500+ pics this time round. kind of little, i think. mainly due to the cold weather and the fear tt the batts will go flat suddenly.
**
1st time taking SQ. mmm.... actually, nothing extraordinarily outstanding leh...
**
once alighted from the flight, already can feel the super super cold weather in beijing!
*
actually i cannot remb the itin and wad are the names of many places leh. kind of guilty cuz the guide was soo busy trying to explain soo many things to us, but most of the time i werent listening but busy taking pics/videos. hehe..
*
think 1st station was 颐和院....
*
*
慈僖太后.....
*
*
the lake tt has turned solid....
*
*
hubb fell while trying to jump onto the 'solid' lake (luckily he landed on his fat buttocks!) to pick up a piece of ice. it was really slippery.
*
*
then to 天安门 .... many many pple..
*
*
and when the wind blew, the face started to freeze.. but luckily, there were many touters who would 'pester' us to buy things once we alighted from the tour bus.. and so.. we bought masks!
*

*
v cheap but really useful too. can really protect the face and block the wind :)
*
*
and the 1st road-side stuff that we ate... 香肠!!!!
**
then to 王府井 shopping area..
**
Li-ning's brand. Li-ning's a china sportsman and according to my colleague, his brand is no less popular than nike in china.
**
day is short during winter time and by ard 5pm, the sky will turn dark as if it was 8pm in singapore.
*
*
and at 王府井... there's a whole stretch of stalls selling food, somewhat like our pasar-malam.. and we ate a few items there - 锅贴, fish/meatballs and unagi.....
*
*
mmm.. the food are nice.. and i tot they look more hygienic than those in bangkok.. but ultimately, we still kenna diarrhoea. and when hubb went to the doc in sg and he told the doc tt he juz rtn from beijing, the 1st thing tt the doc questioned was whether he ate at 王府井... cuz many of his patients came down with same illnesses after eating there..
*
(-_-")
*
soo... avoid eating there despite how tempting the food look...
*
that whole stretch behind are the food stalls....
*
yup.. that more or less summed up day1. will continue when im free. stay tune!
