ok! like i promised, i will briefly blog about my BEIJING XIAN trip. :D
pictures will come up later. i have to concentrate on writing. hee
DAY ONE 16/11i was extremely excited about flying on a aeroplane. sounds stupid, but since K2, i hv not taken flights to any countries. the flight to beijing was like 6hrs. the food sucks LOL and there was no movie or cards. ): ohyes, at tht time i was still struggling with a block nose. anyw, i was seating with chenyu and we got to know 2 juniors. haha. the weather in beijing was cool and wow! i pity the beijing ppl cos they see less of the day sky. at only 5pm, the sky is dark alr. anyw, we went to the hostel to rest and had dinner. the hostel was way better than i had imagined. the toilet was in very good condition except for the silly flush. hehi shared a room with juangshiow, may yan and chenyu(all the sec3s -.-) the bed was omg so damn high and the sides aint very useful. we didnt dare to sleep near the open end. HAHA.
DAY TWO 17/11it was day at the school! hee. their classrooms are very small compared to NHHS's. but wad's amazing is that all the students are super attentive and anticipative! they 'fight' to answer questions and they fold their hands on the table. no one actually sleeps in class. i like their morning excercise! everyone gathered in the field like some assembly session and the excercise along with the music. we also followed them! fun!!DAY THREE 18/11saturday! so there's no sch. we went sight-seeing. got up early in the morning. everyone was like half-dead. first place- THE FORBIDDEN CITY. omg, it's damn big. there are 9999 rooms altgtr! magnificent structures and carvings too. O.O we exited at the other entrance and reach tian-an-square. in beijing, almost everything is enlarged version of singapore's. heh. we saw the olympic countdown and then had lunch at a restaurant. beijing's food does not suit my liking at all. LOL.we later went to tea house for tea appreciation. the pee-pee boy was cute. hAHA.DAY FOUR 19/11THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA! i climbed a small part of it and now im a HAO HAN! heehee xD while climbing i was really afraid of how i wld feel when i climb down. heh. but i did it anyw, YAY! afterwhich we went to wang fu jin(beijing's 'orchard') to shop for 3 hrs. tht was a stupid plan cos the shops are all high-end and there's almost nthg interesting to buy! grr. we then had PEKING ROAST DUCK. there's live performance of the chef slicing the meat. the food's kinda ok but too oily. =x then we went to some theatre to watch drama show. the cast were so OPEN(they hug and kiss very suddenly). haha. their acting skills were great but im not really into their romance storylines.TO BE CONTINUED...
