Bei to the Jing

I must apologise for the lack of updates.
It was a mad rush from Wuhan to Beijing and back to Wuhan again.
And straight to class we went right after we got off the train.
And then it was Sports Day where we ran and waved like Olympians.
And then i had a thousand and one issues to deal with before i finally had the chance to sit down in front of my lappie and typed out how i feel.


The Beijing trip was an eye-opener. Not only did i saw the 2 sides of China, I also saw people and their heart. I was uber pissed at The Forbidden City where the Chinese tourists pushed their way through. I glared, I stared, I sweared and then I lost it.


They were so pushy that even though you are not moving, YOU ARE MOVING.
So I shouted at them to STOP PUSHING and for 3 seconds, the crowd went silent.
and i thought i won the Battle of Pushing and Shoving.
But after that 3 seconds of world peace, the Chinese did their thing again.
-faints-
B is for Beijing and B is also for Budget.
The trip was planned within a tight budget and we squeezed Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Great Wall, Tiananmen Square(where i saw Mao's body), Bird Nest, Water Cube , among many others within 3 days.
Beijing is so advanced that it reminds me of Singapore.
The expressways fooled me for a moment.
I guess i finally succumbed to homesickness after 8weeks of escaping my longing.
i miss home.
i miss the familiarity.
