Bitter Sweet goodbye.

Today marks the last day of 2008. Never did I thought I'll be spending the last day of this year in Beijing together with silly PD girl ! (:

Anyway this trip has been a rather successful and fruitful one! I've enjoyed myself in many ways and had a few memorable moments. The trip will come to a conclusion in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to going back home! Home is still the best! =D

Anyway I spent the morning packing my luggage! I bought quite a lot of stuff here so had a bit of difficulty packing em' but I'm almost done already! Just left a few niggling little things waiting to be packed. Anyway here's some random photos taken during the trip!

That's all for now! I'll be back on 2nd Jan! See you soon guys! (: Later.

Updates!

Hey hey! Today is my 15th day in Beijing! Shall track back to the past few days! Been to quite a few places of interest . Alright here goes -

Day 13

The place I'm going is a 温泉 located near the sub-urban region of Beijing! The experience is really good! They had sauna, hot spring,wave pool,water slides,swimming pool and even billiard table there! There's a lot of senior citizens there! Hardly any middle-aged people there! We were done at around noon. Went to wash up and get changed. Oh ya the changing room has no doors, I find it pretty awkward to change there hahaha! After that we had lunch a nearby eatery then head back to hostel.


Day 14

It was a free & easy day for us. We can choose to go wherever we want. I woke up quite late on that day. We met up and had lunch first before we went to play pool! We played pool at this place -



It was an amazing experience! Basically we paid 50 RMB(SGD10) for 2 hours of game. What they provided us with was good quality cue & a private room with snooker-sized pool table and a few leather seats, they even provide us with a person who help to arrange the ball for us everytime we finished a game!



We went to "后海" after that. Basically 后海 is the Beijing version of Clark Quay. There are restaurants and bars built beside the waterfront! The view there is magnificent! The lake is already semi-frozen when we're there! We had our dinner there then drank at a nearby pub! The beer they served here is pretty different compared to Singapore one. It is lighter in taste and does not bloat your stomach. The downside to that day is that we had to rush back to our hostel by 10pm.



Day 15

Today was a laidback day for me! Had FYP in the morning then did room cleaning and played soccer in the afternoon! Yup pretty relaxing! Alone in the room now ; Darren went to shop in town! I was too lazy to go out today. hahahha!

Alright thats all for now! Looking forward to this tuesday and wednesday! Tuesday marks the 21st Months anniversary between me and silly PD girl ! (: And if the weather forecast is going according to plan ; I will experience my life's first ever snowfall! Alright laterz!
