I came back from BeiJing a few days ago.
Didn't get anything for anyone. Sorry!
It was downright freezing and I vow never to complain about Singapore's climate ever again.
The great wall was boring. Climbed past 3 of those tower things and then I felt warm. Not sweating. A very nice feeling you get after exercising in very cold weather.
You know their English is real terrible?
I'll give you a few notices I saw:
`Careful Hit Head
`小心地滑 got translated into:
Beware of Landslide
`This is the venue where people are gathered after being scattered in the Orientabay International Hotel
(They needn't use words of that level of meaning. It makes it sound stupid. And they spelt their hotel name wrongly. It's supposed to be Orientalbay International Hotel. They missed the 'l'.)
These are a few. I have more in the photographs my brother has taken.
Seriously, their college English is equal to our P6! Well, at least to us, you know, GE kids.
