Continuing from the last post..finally i can finish this whole thing..Since im too lazy to blog some more on this, ill just skim through everything la..well, pictures says a thousand words dont it? here goes..

This was on the way to the performance at some library..bro, eilyn, caryn on the bus..its good to have friends a round when you're on a holiday..its not so boring..^^

This was after the performance, too bad i couldnt take any pictures inside, cuz they melarang us..haih..nvm..its was around 6 something in the afternoon, and it was kindda dark already..

dad and brother eating. We were actually searching for food that time, after checking into the hostel, which i thought was gonna be those kind of run-down and room-only-has-a-bed-for-one-person-type-of-place..seems like i was very wrong..really nice place..recommended for those who wants to tour on your own..

outside the Tian An Men square..which basically connects to the Forbidden City. I really dont understand why they have to put that really large picture up there..its not like he has a pleasant face or anything..bleh..

Outside of the Forbidden City, theres this river surrounding the city.hmm..looks clean enough..

Inside the city, it was just so big, we didnt have time to look at everything there, just browsing through.mainly because we came at around lunch time, and the place closes at 4..i think..oh well..history is just not for me..

yes, the very famous sausage, you can almost buy it anywhere..be it by the road or on the flyover, or at the train station..yeah..really delicious, but very very..i repeat, very fattening..and oily too..

yeah..just one part, i dont really know where this came from..one of the many buildings in the city..

in front of the ticketing counter..wait a minute..i think i jumbled up the pictures..this was suppose to be at the front..ahh..nevermind..its all the same anyway

waiting for dad to finish his "kajian" on another one of the many rooms and halls of the city..

Entrance to the "Imperial Garden"..haih..imperial indeed..nothing there but a bunch of old old old very old trees..and some were old until they needed a "tongkat" to help them stay up straight..

As you can see..their english is not really up to standard..thats why the country is called China..haha

A panda..finally get to see one of these beautiful creatures..But they werent the nice cute ranma-like pandas..for they were dirty and some were even scrawny..this is just one of the very few fat ones ive seen..

They actually had a river running through the whole zoo..so cool.. and it was really clean..compared to ours..^^

still cant believe the sun was shinning so brightly and im all wrapped up..the cold weather was nice though..

A really really huge tiger..maybe the largest one ive ever seen..

At the aquarium..still inside the zoo..

a random picture..so contrasting dont you think?..^^

Alright..another "forbidden" place, i forgot the name..the place the kings of old times use to pray and offer sacrifice to God..they even had a hall of fasting and praying..phew..see that long road behind me? yeah..there were two of those..so by the time we got to the actual building..our legs were about to break..beautiful just beautiful..

Now this is the actual building..haih..they all look the same to me though..

dunno the name..there were like 4 5 kinds of this flower, and all with different colours somemore..

This is at the summer palace..another "forbidden" place..

Another flower..

Some phone the empress used..made by Eriksson wor..chun le..

A really funny building..

jian in his pjs..making a face..

Still sleeping..we were suppose to go the the Great Wall that day..and in order to get there..we had to take 2 buses and 2 trains to get there, so everyone had to wake up real early, still remember mum had to wake us up like 3, 4 times..but it was all worth it..

My first tea egg..oh..and i think its so much better than the ones here..phew..actually i dont know..but then it just looks so fresh..mm..especially when ure freezing cold..its good to eat something warm..like duh..^^

There it is..the long long Great wall..ohya, try translating "Great Wall" into mandarin if you can, the translation is just really funny..yeah..in malay it would be .."dinding yang hebat"..hahaha..seee...^^

I dont know which station we are at now, but then i just know that by the second or third station, i was so exhausted..but seeing all the older people just continue walking up gave me the drive to push on..i mean, im only 18, and those guys are like what..easily, 40 over..how can i let them beat me..bleh..


On the way down..i was so glad it was time to go back..i just couldnt stand it any longer..thats how unfit i am..


And thats the end..bleh..couldnt wait to get back to Malaysia..After ten days in china, i realized how much i love my country..ceh..yeah..this was taken at the airport..hmm..even their airport wasnt as good as ours..hah!! looks like ive gotten fatter after all the restaurant food ive eaten..haih..time to cut down dy..^^
