Beijing Trip Part 1

GONG XI FAT CHOI
25th January 09
Me n Bob got up pretty early that day 06:00,i suppose to hit the shower first but i just kick Bob for twice and tell him dat i need more sleep n he can have it first. After we both clean and smell yum yum,i check all the luggage n passport,we drive to Bob's parents house to pick them,from their house we hit the toll straight to airport. Arrive at novotel hotel parking area,park the car (Bob insist to park his car there for the whole trip 90 RMB/day,i was like watever since we already there,there is nothing to be discuss anyway,although my FIL did not agree) Once we arrive,we just go to check in counter,we had 4 luggage (2 Big,2 small),the winter jacket really take a lot of space,got the boarding pass then we went to MCdonald..aya I'm so Hungry... order French fries,lemon tea and double cheese burger for my self,Mil n Fil not having any of the junk foods *LOL*

* Taken Before Check In*


Finish the breakfast,check the time,ow 30 minutes more to boarding,we try to walk faster more like small run though hehe to the boarding Hall,we need to board from B area.

finish Boarding,i went to the loo and the broadcast announcing that we all need to board"ya'll come a board!!!
* this is the plane dat gonna taking us to Beijing,3 hours flight time,i bet i will sleep 80% of the time*

And i was right i slept all the way till Bob call me up that we gonna landing in 15 minutes,oh dang...i hope i don't drool all the way hihi...or snoring

We arrive at the local aiport around 13:40 something,the weather good,i don't feel the cold though since they put the heater on for the entire building and people there are so white and tall,they talk in perfect chinese,Plus the RRRR accent.
Claim the baggage and look for a car to take us the hotel,once we arrive at the parking lot..OMG COLD!!!!....i wanna go back to GZ...COld....i keep saying dingin...dingin..dingin....and Bob just smile (he know wat dingin mean).
The car arrive,it was a small Mercedes Mini van,i jump to the car right away and enjoying the warmth from the car heater
It take 30 minutes to reach the hotel,i like the view,the dry trees,the clear sky,the modern building and fancy 4 by 4 car crossing the road,athough feel sad that their is no snow this year.

finally we reach Hotel,ow it's a good looking hotel,well it's more to apartments that belong to Marriot,the lobby was small and warm ( i love the words of warm after i arrive there).
Bob introduce Ms.Amiu (she like Miu miu?) ,she is the manager of the apartments n the good thing is she was Bob Good friend hehe,so she assure that we will be taking care for,we got the suite room.
the living room and dining room was different than the pictures in the website, but it look good anyway.
First thing first,bob Running to both of the bedroom and claim the big room was ours ha ha...





Inside The Apartment

* Main Gate*

* Show off deh yah!!*


1 hours later,we head out,looking for taxi to take us to Tian An Men Square.
we arrive at the west or north door,can't remember as too busy enjoying the view..wanna know wat has been changing since my 2003 Trip.
the clock showing 16:30,Bob take us to this small road,inside the road it was full with small small stores,they selling cashmere pashmina,hats,shirts,etc.
but i think we came at the wrong time,all the stores start closing when we reach there,they closed early,"HELLO..today is SACAP ME"everyone wanna be at home

Bob take us to 1 small restaurant,it still open at this time?? so weird...a..actually there are big stories hidden in this restaurant history:

that When Qian Long Emperor rule CHina, he like to disquise as a peasant to check his People.
So 1 day ,he n his 2 Bodyguard come out to this area to find out all stores was closed,it's about the same time like today "SACAP ME",it was snowing and cold ,Qianlong was so hungry and confused.
Lucky Him,Right across the corner,1 restaurant still open (i don't think it was a big restaurant that time,must be like warteg or sumthing),he ask the Owner"why at this joyful nite,you still open?"
Owner: ' I had to open,no matter what date and occasion it was my rule"
Qian Long was excited and happy to hear that,he order some foods(check the pictures):

I don't like it all,i don't have the same taste as the emperor.

Ps: I need to have Lunch now..will continue in Part 2 tonite after we finish had dinner with MIL
