Today according to Chinese culture, it “qing ming jie”. It a festive whereby we are required to pay our respects to our loved ones that had passed away. However, my left ankle is somewhere swollen, thus, I need to see a doctor and I was recommended to the Beijing most famous hospital. After which I accompany Zi Liang, Yan Yu and Qing Yang to do some window shopping as they accompany me to the hospital. We went to Wang Fu Jin as it is a short distance from the hospital.
This is what we saw over there*
Care to have one stick? Costs RMB$15/stick and its about SGD$3/stick and they got live and cooked.
Enjoying the coconut drink
For Just RMB$10/coconut, he offered such service.
However....
A matter of fact : The flesh of young coconut is very tasty however, the juice isnt as nice as old coconut ; vice versa
We saw a lot of interesting things at there. By chance, we actually able to witness the changing of guard duty and lowering of their national flag.
We later then aware of they are having this everyday yet they are still that patriotic.I still heard one guy shouted "Shi zhong guo ren jiu hao kan"Which means, "If you are a Chinese(China), you must watch this"
Imagine this ceremony will to be at Singapore...
Year of Dragon, ROAR*
We had our dinner at food republic which is opened by a fellow Singaporean.
Today I helped two Americans as I knew English; it was fun helping people as I know how to speak both Chinese and English. It is an advantage for me to learn that in Singapore.
One of the americans wants to order chicken but they don't understand, thus, I went over and help out as I know both language. He was so happy to know someone that speaks English.
