twas fun cos the weather was really nice and cooling. it was like high tens, low twenties? we just had to wear a jumper on some days and some days we didnt even need one. it was just like aircon. i think thats the part of the trip i enjoyed most (: the food sucked quite bad cos it was quite oily and i just didnt really like it. they gave us donkey's meat for lunch one day. omg. i didnt even touch it. urghs. and oh oh. i climbed to the highest point possible at the great wall. wah. it was like a few thousand steps and when you look up from the bottom, you'd think that oh just one more platform but when you reach the platform its like ohno! more ahead. cos all the steps were like being blocked. it was so tiring that even in the cold i was sweating! but good workout i should say! i didnt feel quite guilty eating the yummy peking duck after that. shopping was quite good too but most of the stuff i saw was like fake branded goods. and i didnt really like the variety of clothes either. so yeah that was my holiday cut short.
only to return home on friday night to carry out my plan. thanks mike. heex. but maybe i should have stayed a little longer. not.
