Day 6

WOOTZ ITS SATURDAY!!! We could wake up late as we were only supposed to gather at the hostel lobby at 7.45am. We went to some stall selling paus called 包子店(really simple i know) for breakfast. I ordered 小笼包which turned out to be not the one which we usually have at Singapore. It came as a mixed variety of 10 different kinds of paus which had different fillings and thickness of the pau skin. It cost RMB 11. I also ordered one bowl of 豆浆 which u had to ask for sugar to be added(yes it soya bean milk and yes, it comes in bowls). After gathering at the lobby, we set off towards the bus stop. After boarding Bus number 22 going towards 前门, where we would be walking to the forbidden city, where the first thing we saw was Mao Ze Dong's Picture. The forbidden city was SUPA majestic. It is huge with a cool river around it. There also tons of those chinese-style-houses and if i am not wrong, over 8000 rooms. We took some pictures before going off for a tour around it, led by a hired guide. (Shes quite pretty lol~!) After finishing the tour, we went up 景山where we had the most magnificent view of the forbidden city. There were also a couple of shops at the top of the hill where i bought some souvenirs. There was also a shop seling those miniature weapons which included pole arms and stuff which the past generals/ heroes used including Guan Yu's Pole arm and stuff...Then, it was free time. The classes were mainly split into 4 different groups. The first group is going to an electronics shop, led by Xu yang(my class chairman, btw fyi, there are two classes,kaixuan and ouxiang), second group was led by Zhao Bin who were going to the bookshop(Mainly muggers followed him), then it was my group which as going back to the area around the hostel to walk walk and have lunch. The final group was made up of only Alvin and Grady who were going to some shoppping centre. So, we sat bus 609 back to the hostel. Miss Ong also tagged along as she was going back there too. I made a silly bet while watitng for the bus, which seemed to be eternity, to treat everyone(those who were following me)if there were no bus 609 in the next 5 buses. YEAHHH i lost...Thus, after putting down our stuff back at the hostel, we went to Mac for lunch before going for a walk around that area. We saw quite a couple of interesting stuff but it wasn't long before we went back to the hostel. We started playing dota and it lasted till night, with Jia Shin buying Subway for me and a couple of other people's dinner. The day ended at 1am, with over 5 matches played. What a fun and interesting day! Totally liked today, but i cant wait for tomorrow as we have the whole day free!!! WOOTZ~
