A Prelude

June 14, 2007 im still too lazy to process and upload pictures, but in a nutshell, beijing was ok. i loved the clean streets, and the bicycle lanes, and the siopao babies, and the fact that i have a camera to document all these.

it was also fun acting out that we want soy sauce and chili sauce because they can't understand english. and the fact that beer goes at about 4yuan a bottle is cool too, and their fries are measured like shirts (small medium and large). i also loved our peking duck dinner, which i think still has an effect to me until now

i loved taking photos of the local people, especially the babies..we visited the Tian Men Square, forbidden city, summer palace, and great wall to name a few. i also got to see pandas, real live ones, lazy and shy, but alive nonetheless.

but with the good things comes the bad ones. like how some people there bump you and almost make you throw out whatever it is you were holding, and never even look back to apologize. or those who take menus from under your nose without even asking. and our guides who can be much of a KJ sometimes. and the dirty dusty air covering the whole city.

but those are such small things that i can just let pass,, i mean, would you think about the stinky man who shoved you out of the way when you reach the top of tower 3 of the great wall? i dont think so! (believe me, its no easy task..some of the people here in the office who went up with use can still feel the pain on their legs until now.)

anyway, i loved the trip,, and the people who i shared it with. was just sad that liz and ana waren't there. konti lang tuloy kaming nagmumukhang tanga sa photos deliberately. hehehe!

its thursday already and I still can't make myself go to work mode. but i have to, we were short listed from yesterday's pitch and we'll be presenting on SATURDAY. wish us luck.

as for the photos, you still need to wait a little longer. hehehehe!
