3rd day of Beijing!

Whoa! That was a fast two days and we are now moving from Beijing to Tianjin?! That's quick!

First on the menu we went to Temple Of Heaven. This was made around the time before the Qin dynasty. As usual there were temples of similar design, rituals places and many other stuff. Of course, I did not learn my lesson and I was taking photo of the many of those places.( Wei Fang was helping me to indicate the right places to take photographs). It was hell a lot of walking but worth definitelly worth the effort.

We went shopping soon after. The stuff was cheap but of poor quality. We had to be wary of stuff that had melamine and that make shop owners come grabbing your sleeves. I am not an avid shopper myself so I took photographs of China commercial paintings.(soon after I was being accused of having a nude painting and was forced to delete it but its art!)

Next we eat dumplings. Again the teachers were bragging about how we Singaporeans like eating dumplings with rice while Tianjin locals eat dumplings without rice. People have different styles of eating their food but either way it is enjoyable.

The bus then travel a long energy-draining journey from Beijing to Tianjin. We could not play card games as the agent noses into our business and I am still not convinced about how unethnic of students playing card games. Traffic jams along the journey.

Along the journey, we stopped to look at the Olympics gift shop. There was a wonderful collections of toys, pots,badges and one-metre plushies of anything related to Beijing Olympics icluding the Beijing Olympic mascots.

Nothing eventful about the dinner except the same old 狗不理包子。

Next was the new hotel we were going to stay in. At least better than the other hotel that has horrible stinking water but neither great either. I ended the day rather late for I was playing a good game of cards.
