i'm in beijing- day 1

i landed in beijing international airport at 3.25pm!
the temperature then was around 2 degree celsius.f
reezing cold..
and on top of that.. we had to get of the plane via a staircase and board a bus to the airport..
then..change to a tram to the correct terminal to collect our luggage!
my gosh..and this time round we took air china..
i must say their service is really.. ermerm..yea..
dian dao wei zhi..
our first stop in beijing was to watch a acrobatics show which lasted for one hour.
it was quite exciting i thoughti love the bian lian part the most (=
it was 630pm when the show ended..
we proceeded to have our dinner at "yu shan" meaning imperial food
tasted a couple of dishes of Man Han Quan Xi, those which Empress Dowager Cixi loved.
i remembered the name of one of the dian xin called "Yuan Meng Shao Bao" (Realising Dream Bun)..
this unique name was given by the empress dowager herself..
one of her dreams came true after eating the bun, therefore the name of that unique bun!aha
the dinner was alright..
my family sat together with another family of four..
parents are both teachers...
girl from tanjong katong sec
boy from victoria jc year 1.
hai.. can't stand singaporeans who like to compare so much..
first thing that male teacher(father) sat down , he asked my mum..
"how old are your kids??"
"ooh..ic.. so are they still schooling?"
"where are they studying?"
"icic.. my boy is from blabla..my girl blabla"
"i'm teaching in blabla..it's quite famous in the east!" (although i've nvr heard of those schools b4)haha.. i hope these "eagerness to show off" attitude will cease of after the first dinner..
if not..dun think i can stand having my meals with him for the rest of the trip!!
kk.. i know i should stop these negative stuff..
aha.. i hope tomorrow will be a better day! and a warmer day too!
the temperature outside is -10 degree celsius now.. =S

i hope i will have time to update tomorrow (=
the pictures would have to come later! (when i'm back in singapore)

love,
