China Study Tour - Day 11 - 14 (Thrusday-Sunday)

HI GUYSSS!! Sorry for not updating this blog especially for not finishing my China Study Tour's post. So I'm gonna cut it short, I'm writing straight day 11 till the last day hehehe. Enjoy!

DAY 11
Day 11 we went to Beijing from Jinan by bullet train in around 4 hours. Arrived in Beijing, we directly visited Tian'An Men and Forbidden City, which is in the same place as Tian'An Men. There are twice flag ceremony everyday in Tian'An Men, in the morning and in the afternoon. Tian'An Men is so big and we took a lot of photos there. Satisfied walking and taking photos around Tian'An Men, we went inside the Forbidden City. Forbidden city is also big and for me the trip inside there was quite boring. I didn't really like about kingdom or something like that but I took photos as well hahaha. MY FEET WERE STILL SO PAIN and it was a struggle to walk through the Forbidden City hahhaha.

Inside Forbidden City :)

Finishing visited Forbidden City, we went to Nanluo Guxiang. Nanluo Guxiang is an short alley which sells lots of foods and stuffs all along the alley. My friend, Tata, and I bought some snack and tea leaves which we could make the tea in our beloved country, Indonesia :D

Churros!

Nanluo Guxiang was not our last destination on day 11, we still went to Wangfujing, the most famous shopping center because of the affordable price. We could bargain all the stuffs there except the stuffs in the mall around there. Because of the lack of my Chinese language, it was so funny to bargain. I used my calculator to bargain! hahaha I could only say how much the stuff was lol. I got some souvenirs for my family and friends in Indonesia and Wangfujing was the last destination of the 11th day!

so disgusting ewww.


DAY 12
I had such a sumptuous breakfast in Beijing because we stayed at Novotel. Novotel was the best hotel during the trip! :D On the 12th day, we would visit Great Wall of China, finally!, and Xi Dan. Xi Dan is a shopping center like Orchard Road in Singapore. YAY finally I got a chance to visit one of the seven wonders of the world :D Because of the footsore, I didn't go the the top of the Great Wall but it was still good to take a photo ;p We were only around two hours at Great Wall and we continued to Xi Dan, shoppingggg! The toilet in China was not that clean and around Xi Dan there was Lafayette Galeries, luxurious mall, that had the cleanest toilet I had ever gone in China. I always went to Lafayette whenever I felt I wanted to pee HAHAHA. I bought two pieces of clothes and a stick of creamy manggo ice cream which tasted soooooooo nice. Xi Dan was the last destination and I was sad because it was the last day in China :(



With our teacher and step mother as well

Xi Dan!

look how dark my skin was HAHA
DAY 13
It was the last day in China :( I was so sad that I had to leave the city. I missed my family yet not able to leave China. The last day in China, we got a chance to visit Summer Palace. Summer Palace was a place for the kings to rest a long time ago. There was lots of water there. But the weather was still so hot! I was boring there haha but the story of the Summer Palace was nice to hear :D Our friends and teachers were all like shopping haha so after the Summer Palace's visit, we went to Xi Dan, AGAIN! haha. We bought some stuffs for the last time and yea it was sad. We had the most delicious dinner during the trip, roast duck, We went to the best Roast Duck restaurant in town! :D Feeling full, we directly went to Beijing Airport. Our flight was at 00:05 and we were transit in Singapore. It turned out that on the 14th day, May 24th was my friend's bday, Clanton. Happy Birthday, Clayton! We arrived safely in Bandung, Indonesia in May 24th. I would always miss all the memories in China! :)


pardon my face hahaha I was completely tired :')

The chefs were cutting the roast duck :D

Happy Birthday, Clayton! Sorry for a blur photo.
