Today is the last day of July and its just 8 more days to the start of Olympics. All these while, I been observing Beijing. Though it may sound unbelievable, I did but it just a small part. I can see that they are actually improving themselves, regardless of culture-wise or etc. Even though this is the first time coming to Beijing and the preparations was like 7 years ago. By then, I was only primary 6; it is really my luck to be caught in this Olympics because one will only maybe experience only once. However, I am not able to get the tickets. Though I am not able to really go and watch any matches, I will try my best to be part of it. After all, this is an event that happens every 4 years and you wouldn’t know whether you will be in that country by luck.

I was told that the dateline has changed to this Friday, thus, I need to hurry up a bit to be able to catch up with the dateline. According to my speed, I think I am able to reach the target on time.

We begin our day with a hearty breakfast, the type of breakfast that they have, their breakfast was something new for me though I was here for like 5 months.

We are going for hill climbing today, the place was simply great but it is too tiring. Another thing to note is that; don’t ever wear cheap shoes to climbing hill. Not only have you needed to sustain your stamina, you need to endure the pain that the cheap shoes gave.

Do they really love bridges so much?

Our PM is the one who have a bottle on his head and a "twist" sign too

Nice?

Do you?

I do

Nevertheless, we reached the top, the peak of the hill we stand and took some pictures. I had never climb any hill before, thus, the feeling is kind of new.

Next, we got to climb down the hill and it is not that easy as climbing up because of my shoes. Finally, we reached the bottom, the whole journey was like visiting scenery at every point and upon reaching the top, and we got to make a detour back to the bottom.

I did not stand inside because I dont have any lover to take with

My legs were like trembling when at rest and next we went on to “rafting”, I don’t really know how to describe it, with a thick bamboo stick and we got to move the “boat”. It is not easy as seen because it needs some effort and strength to do so.

We have a battle of water though it may sound rather childish or even look childish but I can tell you that, it is fun, lots of fun. After we are all drenched with water, we went back to the motel to have lunch before heading back to Beijing city area.

We are all dead-beat after everything, though the bus was lousy, no air-conditioner. We all just simply doze off at instant.

Thus, I took outside instead of the inside

The bus driver was kind enough to let us to drop off at desired point if it is along the way. The tour guide even asked for mine msn to keep in contact in the near future. My conclusion of both days is that, I had a great time, never had such time with my colleague. I also wondered what they do during free time because they don’t have shopping centre or something. Country-side is a place for relaxing, away from cities, to holiday, I can but to live, I can’t. Did and see something that I never even think of. Many thoughts fills my mind, no matter what is it, being happy is the most important thing. When reached home, after washing those soiled clothes, I went to bed and sleep. I have never felt that tired before. I did not even have dinner and I went to sleep.

PS : Since I am still smiling which means that overall, I truly enjoyed myself
