北京 Beijing 2011

12th May - Boarding

I was carrying a tingling feeling of excitement to the airport. Dad sent us there and we were the first to reach. Not long after love came. Then came strolling the rest of the people, and we were ready for luggage check in :D

Following which, bid goodbye and proceeded to the check in point. Boarded the plane at 0045 but it only took off at 0130. Soon enough, i was feeling drowsy from the motion sickness pills which i've ate. Have a strong urge to sleep but just can't. Sleep wake sleep wake. Ended up with only 3hrs of sleep with aches, mostly butt ache. haha. Had breakfast at 0500, loving their orange juice. It actually taste different to what i normally drink. Finally, we reached Beijing at 7am.

13th May - Day 1

Finally, we reached Beijing at 7am. The morning weather was cold and windy - 16'C.

Aunt is being comical when collecting luggage. "PEK" tags are being hang around on all the luggage to indicate "Beijing" but she simply took the luggages when "PEK" tag were visible to her thinking it was theirs. Coz their family surname is "Peck" haha! In the end we have to put those luggage back.

Gathered with the rest of the tour member before heading to Forbidden City. Oh ya, did i mention i'm with the tour? Ah yes, i'm with the tour and our first stop is the Forbidden City. It's so big that we need 3hrs to finish the whole "excursion"

Next was our lunch. After which, to the hotel where we have to wait almost an hr + for rooms. And our last program for the day before dinner was a Kung Fu show.

That marks the 1st day of my trip and I miss dear so much.

14th May - Day 2

Ahh, feeling lazy to go on.

Anyway, woke up at 5.30am in the morning to have a quick shower and headed down to have breakfast. The sky was shining brightly at 5.30am.

At 7.45am we were all well seated in the coach. Our first stop was to the Jade jewellery. Not my kind of place. But my mom bought a "cabbage" which my dad had accidentally dropped it. oops. The "cabbage tail" was separated from its body. No worries, super glue saved the "cabbage"

Next was a visit to the Ming Tomb, the mausoleums of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Lunch.

Afterwhich, to the magnificent Great Wall of China. I stepped my foot on it and climbed the steps!

Ahhhhhhhh~ seriously feeling damn lazy to go on, plus i can't recall much on the journey sequence.

Just keep a look out for the pictures on if you're interested :D
