& so here I am, back in the city of Beijing after a week. It's really dark outside and I refuse to believe it's only 6:26pm.
Went sightseeing in the morning starting with the Forbidden City. Putting aside the history and all which we knew nuts about, it was just interesting to see the palace with my own eyes rather then just seeing it in shows like huan zhu ge ge. LOLOL.
Heading to Sun Dong An Plaza nearby where we just walked the streets and explored into a 食街! A feast for the tummy which was deprived of breakfast! Came across live scorpions, dragon beard candy, huge grilled sotongs, quail eggs, egg rolls, fried ice cream and tonnes more... Forgot to eat my cream puffs on the way out though! And over here in china, translate directly "toufu brains" to mandarin, that's whut they call the Beancurd here. & bought a studded cap which I totally dig la! Happy! :)
Headed to the nearby mall to grab some food for dins and then to the last stop of the day! The Beijing Olympic 2008 Bird Nest! Shall pay a visit inside the stadium one day... & we walked back to our hotel which was just a stone's throw away...
Pictures may be random here and there but I'll just upload to document all the sights spotted!
On a side note, caught a bit of The Voice 3 just now and I love that dude's voice in team Adam Levine. Bryan or something. Aight, shall head back to lalaland in a bit to catch some sleep. Midnight flight back! Fighting!
P/S. can't wait to be home to you.
