the beijing connection
Monday, April 03, 2006
just came back from beijing and now, i'm sick.
sick of chinese food, sick of seeing and hearing chinese, sick of dirty and awful smelling toilets...but these stories are for another post. right now, i'm really not feeling well. stepped right back into manila's 30 degrees celsius from beijing's 18 and below temperature.
i sound like i'm whining, but i'm not, of course. i have always dreamt of "climbing" the Great Wall, and i already did, buckling knees and panting notwithstanding. until now, it actually still feels like a dream, gazing at the long stretch of the majestic and grand structure that has been declared as one of the eight wonders of the world, walking between the walls and concentrating on the teeny-weeny steps so that i may not lose my balance and probably suffer a mishap, bumping against other, noisy tourists...
but do you know what totally made beijing such an experience?
i'll tell you, alright, but maybe, some other time....right now, i'm just plain sick i couldn't bring myself to share just yet.
sick of chinese food, sick of seeing and hearing chinese, sick of dirty and awful smelling, stomach churning toilets...
