continue with my another BeiJing trip post again
this is about the day4 (12th April 2013)
well, I dislike the day the most in the entire trip coz it was damn boring
seriouslyy..
the whole day's itinerary was just imperfect
as what I mentioned before in previous
Beijing trip day3 post about the travel group is a must to go five compulsory visit places in China
which are Jade (government), Jade (private company), Tea, Pearl, and Silk shop
done visited tea and jade shop in previous days, and the day4 we visited to another silk and pearl shop in day
spot me carrying a warm bottle in the hand? the day4 I only started to bring it out lol
the weather of the day was okay, like Genting's weather
have no idea why I suddenly felt like to bring it out the day instead pervious freezing days =_=
the most funny moment was when my boss saw it at my bus seat, he was so stupid asking himself why missed to bring his own
**you may not laugh with my words but it's seriously very funny when he asking himself in the bus lol :)
early in the morning after gathered, we went straight to the silk shop
when we were inside the silk shop we can't stop complaining the aircond
I have no idea why our tour guide told us their government banned everyone of them to switch on aircond but seem like it has eaten it's words lol
or isnt its because of the shop is belong to government so that they can switch on without obeying the rule they set? imaoo
(the entrance)
in the silk shop, as usual there was a lecturer taught us how a certain insect larvae to form cocoons and the process of making silk
after the lecture, how they won't miss this chance to suggest us to purchase their products?
and guess what? just a single small silk product like handkerchief or scarf also not so cheap
but the highlight is their main products are silk blanket, bed cover, curtain and so forth
those are like at least in around thousand ringgit and above
thus I was one of guys who standing there to see the bosses bargaining with the sale girl over the price of silk blanket lol
but seriously the silk products are really very good la, whats why they had interest to bargain the price
again guess what? me and the guys who not buying the products waited for the bosses until impatient until mad =__= (Damn boringgg)
we've stayed at the shop damn long, like around 3hours?
had our lunch after the bosses done their purchasing
as usual, the food was again not our cup of tea (China food is seriously bad for me, hby?)
pearl shop was the next stop
pearl shop was the one shop where we spent the least time
we dont even layan themwho recommended us to buy their pearl accessories and their main pearl skin products after had a lecture about the pearl hahha
(YaXiu Street Market, 雅秀市场, pic from google)
this is not really the street market. it's like sungai wang shopping complex
but the different is this street market is more complicated
due to my bosses requested, we had chance to go this shopping mall as it was not in our list of the whole itinerary
guess what? me and the gang didn't walk for half and hour then came out
what is that inside there? this shopping mall is dedicated to sell fake brands products (clothes, shoes, bags, etc..)
dont misunderstand, this is not the point why we left there early.
the reason is every saler inside there is damn scaryyy!!
why said so? it's because they can even pull you inside their shop to sale you their every thing
the price they opened at first was kinda high and then they'll 'kindly' give you big discount
eg : 300 bucks at first then slowly became 30 bucks something o_o
if we rejected to buy once after asking the price, they'll scold you like no one else omgg? -.-
so cheap the way they sale their stuffs yerr -___-
maybe someone of you may ask then why my bosses still requested to go there as they surely dislike the market?
their main idea was there are many real brands outlets gathered beside the YaXiu Street Market
what did we do after left the YaXiu market?
we shopped around the brands area. google search the area is called Sanlitun Subdistrict (三里屯街道)
as usual, every brands outlet is in at least few levels.
some like Mac center, Addidas, Puma, Uniqlo and so on are like in an own dedicated building. **faint?
while the bosses were mad shopping the brands, the youngs went to a book shop to enjoy the books
Elicia and Pauline are novel lovers, they can even stay there until night lol
I bought some books too! bought mom a travel reference which is as thick as dictionary in the price 20 ringgit something only!
and the book can be found also in malaysia which cost is RM30/40 like that (if no mistake)
(the whole view of The Place, 世贸天阶, pic from google)
The Place 世贸天阶 was the last place we visited the day before had dinner and back to hotel
i was so excited to go there actually as i know there's a very long sky screen playing gorgeous chinese arts or advertisements sometimes
but after knew that we went there in the evening, it kinda ruined my mood urghhh.
(we should go there at night actually but since there's no itinerary at night in our entire trip so we were to be forced to go in the evening)
parents went there before as well!
kept describing how beautiful is the sky screen when broadcasting something. **envy envy!!!
why why why my travel group so poor one, never went out at night in whole trip :'((((
that's the sky screen I said! one of the super long big sky screen in the world!!
tour guide told us this sky screen is Beijing's unique treasures, its carrying "all Beijing to watch" concept
tour guide also told that mostly the sky screen plays the advertisements at 8pm
The Place is also in the Beijing CBD unique artistic taste and Austrian brand characteristics of high-end integrated Fashion Square, is insight called "dream place to start." **google search
I also google search the pic of the screen playing something at night
(pic from google)
(pic from google)
oh fantastic man! T_T
as the day was the last night we had in Beijing hence we've stated to discuss where to go at night (without tour guide guiding) when on the way heading to have dinner,
boss's decision was WangFuJing night market 王府井夜
WangFuJing night market is in our list of itinerary of day5 actually, but since we scared there's also insuffiecent time for us like the previous days to shop, so we just went there twice :B
after asking tour guide about how can we reach there, we went back hotel to get ready at 8.30pm
we arrived hotel was actually almost 8pm
why dont we straight to the night market instead? coz we knew that the night market will be closed at 10pm punctually.
(Beijing people are unlike malaysians night owls, they have very healthy life o_o)
big reason was due to the severe jam at that time
-four people share a cab-
reached at 9pm plus
**messy hair when the strong wind blew hmmm :p
we spent the whole time at here! WangFuJing food street!
my bosses are eat lovers. they just cant resist to hunt food inside
very crowd there! and the atmosphere there was like chinese new year ambience!! **thumbs up :DD
a lot these insect snacks. they're full of protein seriouslyy!!
this drink's name is called bubble tea lol. name is so cute but dont know whether its good taste :o
didnt try as stomach full :/
Pauline's epic look hahaha
yummmmmsss
10pm something, they really closed in a lightning speed :O **no joke
then we walked around outside there
the street is just so wide! I wanna bring bicycle to there next time!! LOL LOL
damn comfortable walking there under not so cold weather ♥♥♥
the sweet couple (boss and his wife) and me taking pic outside the adorable little Coca Cola stall Teheee.
11pm, we settled again our stomach at McDonald
boss treated ;DD
we totally have 15 people. Luckily that there was a super super big table that can accommodate many of us
Awww :D
we stayed there until midnight.
bosses ordered cabs again but guess what? their service were just so poor
we waited for so long and they still not appeared **thumbs down
we ended up find other taxi to send us back hotel ourselves on the road lol
a big gang loitered, talked and laughed together beside the road to look for taxi. this felt so good seriously!!
I also saw some teenagers road skating, cycling together with their friends full of laugh sound beside the road at this hour
omggg this is what I want badly in my teenage period but why does malaysia dont have this such comfortable wide road to let my dream comes true lol TT
hahahha you may ignore my self talking :pp
