CULTURAL CHINA
Indeed China is full of cultures and they are historical and ancient.
We need to wake up real early as we are going to various places to know more about the Culture in China. The place that we are going to visit today is Tian’an Men Square, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven and this are the places which I include in my Business Fundamentals project last year. How cool is that to actually really visit the place? It was like a dream come true.
Tian’an Men Square : Where Mao Zhe Dong’s body has been preserved. The place was open only from 9am-11am and only on certain days. There was such a long queue to the memorial hall. No cameras can be brought in and no pictures were allowed to be taken. No one is allowed to talk once we are in the memorial hall. I was so ….(the feeling is indescribable) to get the opportunity to see his body.

Forbidden City : An extremely grand & huge place. I wonder who is the architecture of the Forbidden City as the carvings and place was B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!
This is 1 of the place that people should go if they visit China. Full of History.
The place had a lot of rooms with different usage for each room.
(I can’t imagine if I have > = 999.5 rooms – what am I going to do with the rooms??)
Lunch : Simply Delicious! I remembered Chong and James had around 5-7 servings. I think they were really hungry and tired, furthermore the food was nice. It was like a traditional restaurant as the waitress wore their traditional clothes. How cool is that?? Filled up our stomachs then off to Temple of Heaven.

Temple of Heaven : The place is 2x or 3x bigger than The Forbidden City. How Eee-normous it is, can you imagine that?? (I’m sure it’s nice to look at the scenery if you’re in the helicopter? Hehe) We get to explore the place and I remembered walking at this long path and Mr Chua said that they used to get the animals in and through the underpass (we are walking above it) then out dead. Oh god!! I can imagine it.

Back to the guesthouse. Rest-ed and I need to buy my buddy her present! So, out to Wang Fu Jing with a group of friends. The place was so crowded. All the people was wearing the santa’s hat. The reverse bungy area was crowded with people “looka-looka”. I think Singh tried the bungy. There was traffic jam too. (shit!) We had briefing than COUNTDOWN for Christmas!
We had a surprise party for Nicole and Melissa. We slack at room 107, eat, celebrate and lights out!
What a tiring day but I had a lot of FUN!
