My family at Yihe Park 
Me and sis at the 17 Arch bridge
Me and dad at Tiantan Park
YAY!! i climbed the Great Wall!! i am a hao3 han4!
Tiananmen is one freaking huge ass place!
Apparently eunuchs and maids come to one of these long corridors to rendezvous...
At the ruins of Yuanming Park
At the summit of Beihai ParkSurprisingly, Beijing wasnt as bad i i thought it would be... if you can look past the really bad pollution, the traffic congestion and the spitting, it's actually quite a livable city.... Contrary to popular belief, their toilets are actually quite clean.... in fact most are actually cleaner than ours! Quelle horreur! Thou i must say the whole idea of throwing soiled toilet paper into baskets rather than the towel bowl is something that i really CANNOT fathom.... apparently their sewage system isnt really that good so toilet paper chokes up the toilet (?!)
Everything there is dirt cheap.... one oyster costs 3rmb ($0.60) and one scallop costs 8rmb ($1.60) so we practically lived like kings and queens there.... but the cost of living in Beijing is actually steeper than that in Sinagpore.... their taxi flat rate is 10rmb and jumped 2rmb everytime.... and considering a normal waitress earns 600rmb a month, i really dunno wat Singaporeans are complaning about here....
Visited almost all the parks there... the emperors really have too much time, building so many gargantuan parks... i pity the sedan carriers... seriously.
So anyway, Beijing is really quite a worthwhile place to go if you are on a tight budget. Cheap Cheap!!
