Hello everyone!

I believe its been a long time since I last posted anything on here. During the last 11 days, I was in Shanghai and Beijing with my friends bigsmile We spent Christmas there and had so much fun shopping and visiting all the famous tourist areas p Not to mention the cold cold cold weather lol

Back in Beijing, the temperature was negative everyday, during the 3 days we were there haha In the Forbidden Palace, the wind almost blew us away! We were getting in souvenir shops all the time just to stay away from the cold. My fingers were numb, I'm glad they didnt turn blue p The next day we were in Great Wall. It was even colder! lol I had to get a mask and keep climbing just to prevent myself from getting frozen into ice lol My mask froze from the little moisture left from my breath lol

We also took two awesome overnight train trips, saw some snow, and of course it was fun enough just being with friends smile I will write more about my trip in more details soon and add some pictures p I'm very tired now, and just trying to do a rundown smile

Places we've visited:

Shanghai --
* Yu Garden, Shanghai Old Street
* Pearl of Orient
* Shanghai Aquarium
* Shanghai Zoo
* The Bund
* Nanjing Pedestrian Shopping Street
* Huaihai Shopping Street
* Hengshan Bar Street

Beijing --
* Forbidden Palace
* Tiananmen Square
* Great Wall
* Wang Fu Jing Shopping Street
* Temple of Heaven
* Olympic Village -- Bird's Nest,Watercube

So, I'd like to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! bigsmile party cheers
May you all have a great time with your family and friends wink

What's up?Overspeeding

Hi!
Wonderful holidays!
Don't get frozen, please, and enjoy the trip. I'd like to see the pictures next days.

PS: if you get too much cold, Uruguay is really hot this season, and the beach is a pleasure lol

Take care

I went to see the pics. And are nice... you all seem happy for the trip.
I see you have lots of photos. Now I understand how difficult would be to publish in every site you are registered!

Have a nice life always!

Cold Colder Coldest p

I bet now that you have tasted bitterness of Winter you don't crave for winter anymore p I am assuming you're not so familar with winter season. I suppose you have meditarranean oh my god what it's the spelling bomb lol climate there.

Sounds like a vibrant journey, i'll read more of your posts if i get time agggrhhh im so busy these days on friday i have maths paper eeeeeeeeeeeeeek! if i don't practice it's obvious im going to score once again potatoes haha i have some wheelbarrows to make sure potatoes don't go waste this time p

i have so much to write but all i need is time faint and this vicious cold...Aggrh Kathmandu's temperature isn't below zero but still is too much not to complain about

Winterwinterdawn Friday, January 16, 2009 3:16:56 PM

HAHAHA I certainly have experienced one of the coldest winters Beijing has ever had lol Nevertheless, I still like it bigsmile Yes, its very cold, not very comfortable, but with this experience, I will know to dress more properly next time I go on such a trip lol We have mediterrean climate here, indeed p but this year, its also been cold for us (not negative, and far from it) at around 21C everyday...and that is already considered cold for Philippines, since we usually get 28-30C around this time of the year p

Anyway, good luck with your exams!!! wink No potatoes this time, you can always get them in McDonald's if you're really desperate wink yes take care! dont catch a cold bigsmile cya!

Grace UnhearingDevilbesideyou Wednesday, January 21, 2009 4:44:05 PM
