Yesterday...

Monday, 15th October. Arrived Beijing at SUNRISE.

Hello everyone!! Yeah Lillian, I'm in Beijing now. Haha. I didn't see you on Sunday la... So i didn't get to say: TATA!! Smiles. Anyway, it was a very tiring day yesterday. Haha. Seriously. We went to the FORBIDDEN CITY [i'll show you all the pictures when i'm back!] and we walked and walked and walked and WALKED AND WALKED. Gah! So tiring.And remember in the previous post, i wrote and said that i'll be goin' to sleep? I DIDN'T!! Well, dunno la... Suddenly we all so semangat. Haha. Actually, after my post, we went out for lunch. By the way, we're staying in New Dragon HOSTEL. Yup. Not some fancy hotel la. This hostel here, usually caters for those foreigners who are here as BACKPACKERS. So it's really cheap for them. Anyway, we're here just to sleep only lah...i meant, in the hostel. =P So, back to walking! Yeah, we are not following any tour on our whole trip here. Yupz. So adventurous le! Haha. Really what. Yesterday, we went "hunting" for the FORBIDDEN CITY. We walked and walked. As it is, we didn't get enough sleep in the plane... So... our legs ached, our feet sore, our calves were numb, and... for today, there's gonna' be MUCH MUCH MORE! Haha. Yeah. Oh ya, back to the lunch part. We went for, FASTFOOD. Oh, you might say: Wah, go there KFC/Mcdonald's ah? NONONO! The "fastfood" here is SO DIFFERENT! Yepz... Instead of burgers, soft drinks, fried chicken... You get "pau", noodles, "cold meat", garlic suce [YUCK!], some peanutty sauce, and vinegar! Haha. Wad lah! You think what "fast food" hor? =P goodness... Hehe. But SURPRISINGLY, they tasted quite good. Different lo... Haha. Then we visited the Forbidden City after that. There were SO MANY PEOPLE! Yalah... tourist area. So, do you know what Forbidden City is? Haha. I suspected it! =) You know the chinese shows you see on tv? Yeah... remember the old fashined ones, where there's the emperor and all the servants and stuff like that? Yeah, the Forbidden City is where the emperor lives. The palace is HUGE, HUMONGOUS, Very VERY LARGE. Yes! Aiyo... i dunno how to explain everything. Its too big. Haha.

Supposedly, its the size of 55 FOOTBALL FIELDS!! That's HUGE.


But we didn't manage to get into the "inner courts". Too tired of walking!! Seriously... its so big. you walk through the outer courts, then there's another huge square the size of 3 football fields, I think! Yup. Haiyo... last tim the stupid emperors all ah... so terrible! The place is so huge you know. And outside, lives all the poor people. Haha. Well, that's enough of explaining la... The first day also i can write so much already!! By the time i come back, i can publish a book already. I wish i could do that. If i noted down everything i see, and all the stories about what happened... it IS possible! Haha. Anyway, the temperature is pretty cold here. 60 degrees. But at night is colder. Hahaz... Alright, we're now goin' to walk somemore... Ah... at least we had a good rest. Hehe. Thank God. We're gonna' visit the Great Wall today i think. Well, so till the NEXT POST, have a great day!! God bless! =)
