Beijing - Central Business District

This is the place where we stayed, close to the Beijing office. Its like our KLCC area.

The view from atop - from our Beijing office, overlooking the city. Beautiful scenery.


We took a walk around the area - mainly with the intention to find the Silk Market - a tourist hub for shopping, its consists mainly of skyscrapers and office buildings.

We took this vey gaya picture * LOL * had been doing this very often during the trip as it appears that all 3 of us like to take pics! * LOL * Very very fun as we kept tripping over with laughter!

The Silk Market - which basically selling so call cheap-goods-with-prices-jacked-ceiling-high. More like the stalls we have at Petaling Street all cramped into a building. You can find lots of imitation good as well as souvenirs.

This is the first time in my life where one can see how vicious Chinese promoters ar. Yup, they literally claw at you if you look at their good and end up not buying, and haggling is a survival skill here. I even witnessed 2 chinese promoters, each at one side, holding to an Angmoh's hand, barricading him from stepping away until he make the purchase.

So scary that we were traumatised and quickly leave the market.

Saw this woman walking her beloved pets and couldnt resist to take some pics. Yeah, we see many occurances of owners dressing up their pet and what struck me as cute was that it was winter - hence it makes sense to dress them out during a walk, instead of those owvers who put on clothes to furry animals despite the heat in our country.

When the woman saw me taking pictures of her beloved, she stopped in her tracks and ordered her doggies to pose for the picture!!! * LOL * So cute!
