  • Beijing - Day 3

    So today quite a few things made my day:

    1. Flowers : We went to a garden first thing in the morning and I saw these beautiful flowers...

     
     

    And in the same garden I got a better picture of me and the Forbidden city.

     

    2. The second thing that made my day was...

                       

    Yes it's xiao zhu ice-cream!  Even though I've long left my fan girl crazy love of xiao zhu, I still go crazy once in a while when I see his things displayed =]

    And so I bought it! And ate it too! Gary, our tour guide, couldn't take it that I bought the ice-cream because of xiao zhu so he said that the next time he buys bottled water for us (he provides us with water), he'll find some with xiao zhu on it =] Hehehe...

     

    3. Mmmmhmmm...I love the royal couple!  This was such a random shot while I was sitting on the bus...its quite ironic how the TV on top of MacDonald was playing their wedding replay but THEY ARE JUST TOO WONDERFUL to ignore! <3

                                  

    Other things that I really enjoyed was the awesome theatre acrobat art performance called 金面王朝 that we watched today at the OCT Theatre and the night scenery that we saw after dinner.  We also went to silk centre but I felt really uncomfortable there being bombarded by store owners who are trying so hard to sell you things and you having to bargain until they're mad before you get what you want at the price you want =o= (I didn't actually bargain...I just say a price I want that is usually 1/3 of the price they sell, then walk away when they won't give it to me...then they come chasing down willing to sell it to me =D )

     
     
     

    This place is really pretty...the screen on the ceiling plays the texts that people send in for their loved ones...

                      

    They had a Johnny Walker display at the center =].  I want to try....

                      

     

    That's it for tonight again.  Good night Xanga =]
