Honestly, we didn't get to loiter much or go for sightseeings..So don't ask me about Forbidden City or Great Wall and all the other famous tourist spots. However, I managed to see a wee bit of the Olympics City and lucky for me, its just a stone's throw away from the Hotel. About 5 minutes walk, minus the crazy road-crossing scenarios.
I'm glad that I get to see the Bird's Nest like I've expected but unfortunately, I didn't get a glimpse of the night scene as well. It seems the stadium is lighted in red in the night. But its alright, there's always a next time. =) To me, it is an amazing creation - the pillars, steel bars and so forth. It looks messy at close shot, but I can't imagine how its being built. Its just awesome. I like the fact that the area is not filled with stadiums after stadiums, instead it is beautify by a lot of greens and flowers of different colours. I feel very relaxed the moment I stepped into the Olympics Garden. =) Oh by the way, the Swimming Cube is awesome too. No pictures of it though.
Sitting in the middle of the Zebra crossing?
Looks like its Photoshop-ed but trust me, its not.
Besides working, what we do most is EAT! Like I've mention before, breakfast was scrumptious - imagine 7 days of delicious international buffet breakfast, while dinner was divine. Overall, their food was good but very oily. We had 4 times of Peking Duck (yes, it sounds crazy, I know..but mm..I missed it very much) and a lot of spicy food. We had a lot of 'Ma Lat' dishes and I mean a lot. It is indeed spicy and when the spiciness reaches a maximum level, your tongue just gives up and goes numb..hahaha That was the best ever!
I miss this. Really. 'Ma Lat Kang Wo'
The amount of chili in the end..its crazy.
Peking Duck Servings..Its finger lickin' good.
Bei Ping Lou, our favourite restaurant. =)
I guess thats all for now...All i remember was the lack of sleep, partly thanx to the weather. Since it is Summer, it brightens up at 4am, so, Serena and I often wake up thinking we're late but it was just 5 something. :S However, it was usually cooling throughout, with minimal sweat.
