Welcome to China,part 2.

8Nov 09

Beijing tour,day two.

 

 

 I can’t believe i stayed home for freaking 2 days,and the point is…

 

Its a Saturday & Sunday!What i did at home was just online,piano practise,eat alot of mum’s homemade cheesecake and watch Dvd’s..Durian cheesecake anyone?No urge to dress up,hang out or party.Just wanna lay home with mum and sis,form an annoying  band.Haha!I think we’re the most annoying family among our residents area.I’ve got 2 pianos at and 2 violins at home.Once someone started practising,the other two will join in.And we play different songs you see,so the melody didn’t really sound so good.It was rather noisy and confusing.

 

But i still love it!At least you know you’re not alone,you won’t feel lonely.

 

Day 2 in China was exhausting,and it is just the begining.Visited 3 places—Gu gong((故宫),Jing Shan park(景山公园) and Bei Hai park(北海公園), ,and its already enough to make your leg muscles sore.

 

Scroll down and view the pictures,you’ll understand why.

 

Rise & shine!9am in the morning,ugh!

This palace is mothereffing HUGE!It took us 4 hours to visit the whole place,and we didn’t even walk through every corner..I feel sorry for the slaves last time,they’ve to carry the King in a sedan chair,and that chair is already mothereffing heavy,plus the king..Somemore have to walk such far distance..OMG!What if someone needs to pee?How to run ah?

    i would most probably freak out before even tasting those insects.. china seems like a good place for my parents (cuz my dad is a china history geek) but those place seems too big for 2 old people to walk around.

    sorry to hear about your break up. but i’m sure you’ll be as stronger as ever and could find a greater 2nd love. (same for me, 2nd love seems to be better because we both know what we want)
