Beijing Bliss

Day one

flight 0830 - 6hrs fr KL to Tianjin. Crammy and very uncomfy. NEVER fly in low cost.. (hihikhikk if u could afford it la kan...)

at Tianjin Airport, Ch. Health screening giler strict. But well... its for everyone's gud.. kot x jadi mcm kat Malaysia... isk isk.... sampai lapan kes pagi ni....

Greet by Johnny - rep fr Muslim Tours. Since China is a socialist country, so there's only one travel agent to cater for Muslim Tour. Unlike kat Malaysia bercambah2 travel agencies. The tour is govt-own, Johnny la kata...

It took 90mins from Tianjin to Beijing, d Capital of China. The traffic was smooth. Had dinner and lunch wic i don really appreaciate, coz... aiyooo really could stand d bland taste.

We stayed at Holiday Inn Mingzhuan. Very cozy. Chinese were so proud with their mother tongue. Satu kerja le nak memikir how to use this remote control.. huhu


Day 2

Jade store.

Fully owned by govt, Johnny kata.. so janganla bargain, dia kata lagi.

Did u know that in for Chinese, jade is d symbol of endless love? (i thought diamond) jade is d wedding gift to d bride from the mother. so that if the marriage didnt workout, the jade would be handy in case d daughter need some cash to start a new life. Johnny yg kata. so i ended up bought jade bracelets for all my sisters, termasukla Rina sekali... convincing betul si Johnny ni bercerita..

Next - to crystal store. ..

Oh..... the orange bangles... looks so tempting..... i juz cant stop salivating.... oergh but nayyy!!!! couldnt afford it.... x best betul jadi org mesken.. takat amik gambar je la

Then - The great Great Wall of China. The only manmade building/object can be seen from space. Need i say more?

Day # 3-

Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Health Dept and shopping

tp digicam leh tertinggal..

Day 4

morning - wandering at d nearby wet market with zana- eyeing for a set of china wic were so amazingly unique. planned to come next day.

Summer palace - An emperor, tired of staying in Forbidden City wanted to have a holiday by a pristine lake in Shanghai. It was so far... forced his subjects to build a similar one nearby. Took 100yrs to complete. Funny man!!

With all the Fengshui details, the Chinese believe visiting there wud make u live longer. I dunno...

The man made like is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big, so we decided to have a boat ride. the tics is Y10 only.. tapi org yg xder teket lak naik dlu...

Apa kes???

Tu Ila... muka tensen kena tinggal boat.

A must - Olympic 2009 bird nest stadium.

Soklan: how did they bend the pillars? truly amazing..



Day 5

I dont used to summer.. Could sleep after Subh coz at 5.00a.m ari dah terang benderang.. wandering alone at the wet market coz org lain smer tdo.. was told d market opens at 7.. buang karan... snap few pix..

tu bukan beg saya. yes we put on baju kurung. Truly Malaysian spirit. Headed home for another long and torturous journey...
