Beijing Trip 2006, footsteps in time part III


Well finally a change of blogskin....
this time since christmas is near....
so it is a christmas theme....
Layout: Last Christmas
Music: Last christmas....
Clock: santa themed..
Perfect isnt it....

Anyway this post is to round up the trip to beijing...
well its like around a month ago that i left for beijing...
its like so fast...
and guess what i m still MISSING it...

Day 7 final day

So we got to sleep in till a little later this time...
finally get to see how our room looks like in the bath of sunlight...
u can choose not to believe but...
its true that for 7 whole days of living in the hotel...
i havent even seen my room in the day....
we would always leave the hotel room for breakfast at around 7
and never come back till 7+ at night....
anyway so we went down for breakfast at the hotel's restaurant as usual....
seriously...i m like SICK and TIRED of the food there...
although it is international buffet styled....
but eating the same old food over and over again for 6 breakfasts...
arrrggghhh...its just disgusting...
fried noodles+omelette+bacon+springroll+kiwi juice...
so after breakfast me and thad went back to our room to take our luggage down...
we assembled at the lobby with all our belongings
and off we went up the bus...
bading goodbye to our "home" for the past 7 days...
our "home" for 7 days...
The bus that brought us from places to places...
leaving the hotel....

Destination: Project 798 a.k.a the FUTURE of china....
someone told us its some sort of sky scraper thing...
but its nowhere near that....
its like some sort of a industrial estate...
quite deserted i would say....
future of beijing???? I dont see why....LOL
anyway so project 798 is sort of an art street..
where u could find galleries and shops...
with artpieces on both sides of the street in shophouses...
honestly it was rather boring...
i mean....
I m not that kind of ppl who would often go to art exhibitions
and like....
mmmhhh....ahhhh....woahhh...at the paintings...
secondly....i m not that rich to be able to buy those pieces...
So how?
SELF ENTERTAINMENT....LOL
(song plays) "thats what friends are for...."
well company is important when things are boring...
dont u agree....
Last group pic....I swear i was being crushed..
Delta with facils catherine and claudine...

Been there....
and left a "mark" there....
or rather many"marks"....





So after that that its the last meal...
this time we went to a korean restaurant...
the table was really long and the decor was very nice....
the urinal actually had ice cubes in it...LOL
so its like u are peeing into a bucket of ice...
is it for decoration or what i have no idea....
the food was okay la...
not too bad...
i have never tried authentic korean food before so ya....
but the coffee i must say was really nice and fragrant...
thought the serving was like pathetic....
s very small cup and only half filled...
maybe thats the way korean drinks coffee???
LOL....
what was special is the metal chopsticks...
cool...there was an urge to take it with me..
but i didnt...
to think back right now...
why didnt i ask whether i could buy it...
stupid me!!!
Told you it was long...lol...

So after that we packed up and off we went to the airport...
and it was good bye beijing.....
awww....so sad.....
but no choice....
it was 7 days...
we all agree that it was too short...
10 would be just right.....

Anyway if u would like to see all the pictures we took in beijing u could visit here....
