Day 3
Sunday
4th November 2007
Weather: Fine
Writing in again today. Today is shopping day! I went with a few people to few shopping areas in beijing. I bought a few things including a pair of black gloves which cost me 20 rmb (S$4) and two real adidas jackets 750 rmb in total (S$70 for one and S$80 got another) Pretty cheap though as you cant get this sort of prices in singapore. They are all brand new and are pretty nice in design. Both of the jackets are black and white. One special thing about the second one is that it is a limited edition version and the more special thing is that one side of its sleave is black and the other is white. It is really very cool!
We went to places like xi dan, xiu shui jie and shang pin zhe kou. I also took the Beijing Subway for the very first time. Technology has really changed the world. It is something very much like Singapore's MRT however, the inside of the train is much more high tech than those of singapore's. There is a automatic machine that will give directions and instructions when you board the train.
At Xu Shui Jie, I bought a pair of gloves. My previous pair of gloves that I brought was a little too thick, so it might not be too comfortable when carrying things. Its original price was 120 rmb but after MaTeng bargained, we got it down to 20 rmb. Considered quite a good deal. See, this is the art of bargaining.
At around 5pm, we joined Samuel, Wan Teng, Yan Fu and Kah Fong at a KTV. It is not really a KTV, something like KBOX in Singapore. The 3hour package counts down to only S$5 with free buffet and free flow of drinks. The room is much bigger and comfortable, with a large plasma screen. There is also a service men at each room. What a wonderful experience!
That's it for today. Will be in school the whole day to "shang ke"! Hope I can learn new and more things tomorrow!
