beijing. iced.

surviving in minus 5 degrees makes me appreciate s'pore weather all the more. its better to be warm than iced to ur toes.

aight im back in china. amazingly i slept the entire day once i got to shanghai. i think its frm the exhaustion frm the camp n the bbq n the sleepover added up. we took a train frm shanghai to beijing. an overnight train wit lil cabins equipped wit small beds. there're like 4 beds in each cabin n it was quite an experience. esp the dinner part. where the gravy slides frm one end of the plate to the other end every time theres a slight turn in the tracks. we had pretty cool 'in-train entertainment'. out comes the laptop n we popped in dvds to watch in our lil cozy cabins.

reached beijing at like 7am. it was minus a hundred degrees or something. brr. our driver met us at train exit wit our names on it lol. we got a nice MPV to ride in this time. checked into our hotels. it is BEAUTIFUL here. i love this place. the floor's like heated up, n its rly sleek. i took a few photos of it :) n wads more theres broadband provided, wit a dvd player tt comes wit a hi-fi set. large glass windows n comfy beds. paradise. n heres the catch: its all free :)

my mom cooked instant noodles for dinner. sweet. some lady dorothy booked a karaoke place downtown tonight n we're checking it out later. so far, its been a rly smooth journey. bonding wit my fam n all. i rly thank God for it
