Beijing, Chengde, Tianjin 之旅

Why? Is the response we got when people knows that we are going China for our Honeymoon.
Not surprised at all, as I will be asking the same question too if I were them.

Well, besides the 2 of us are going, my parents are going for their '2nd honeymoon' too. haha. Thus, China is the place that 4 of us had not been before.

On the 2nd day after our customary wedding, we headed straight from Marina Mandarin (ohh..MM provided good service for our wedding) to catch our SQ flight.

Flight journey took abt 5-6 hrs. There is only 6 pax in our tour grp. U tend to get our attention when in a smaller grp.. good..The other 2 are aunties frm spore. 1 of them stayed in califonia for 45yrs already.. The tour guide said she was once featured in a local variety programme on introducing Beijing a few yrs back.

We spent most of our time in Beijing, a night in Chengde and a day tour in tianjin.
This tour had enriched us with more historical and cultural knowledge and there is not much shopping at all.. *sad*

Talking abt shopping, the things there are more expensive in beijing unless you can accept those 'chiong' stuff. Funny thing is thou we are staying in the heart of the Olympics village there are not much shopping centres but only food, hotels and of course stadiums.

Never shall I forget the reckless drivers, the honing on the congested roads, the countless Audis on the road, the trend of hotels having the revolving entrance, the thousand hands guanyin performance by the deaf and dumb pretty ladies, nice mac pies that are not available in spore and the feng shui practice that the chinese nationals deeply believed.

I guess the 4 of us had put on wieght too as they had been feeding us with large food portion which they normally always had.

Its time for diet again and let the photos to speak more....
