BEIJING, HERE I COME!
The day has finally arrived. One by one gathered not only us, but also our loved ones. Parents were asked to gather for a briefing by respective teachers in charge. Soon enough, it’s time to check in our baggage.
ANXIETY- that’s the feeling everybody felt at that moment. But SA DLY, Karnika and Aderson could not join us due to their unsuccessful VISA applications.
Everybody was emotional till we board the plane; CA 958. It was my first time taking the plane. A whole new experience for me. I was so excited. I sat on the same row with Hana and Syasya. Mr Chua was so hyper-active on the plane and he disturb all of us who sat in front of him.. The flight transit was at Xiamen Airport. We were asked to leave the plane for about 20 minutes. Now, we headed to Beijing International Airport.
The lunch set was pretty upsetting. For the Muslims, we had Fish. Not really fish, but fishballs with tomato sauce!
The turbulence shocked everybody including me Finally, we reached Beijing. Everybody puts on their respective winter clothes. Going down the stairs from aeroplane was thrilling and “chilling”. We were against the strong wind and was amazed that the temperature hits -9 degrees. Since this is our first time experiencing winter, the feeling is great! “Smoke” comes out from each and everyone’s mouth once we start talking.
Cool-ness!All the cam-whores began to take pictures despite the strong wind. Excellent! We had a very warm welcome at the airport and we headed to our guesthouse with our tour bus soon after that.
We gathered at the dining room before we were brought to our respective rooms. There, we were introduced to the two VVIPS- Mr Hai(Chief Village) and James (Representative from Beijing Finance & Economy School).My room was the last one to be announced L
Our stomachs are growling. Steamboat for everyone! Thanks for the treat! Explored some shops nearby and back to the guesthouse.
