Today, the tour of Beijing begins.
Our hotel is located in the middle of a hutong 胡同，so they have a rickshaw to ferry customers to the main road to get a cab. But it was a nice relaxing walk, so we walked, and the kids sat on the rickshaw.
We went to the Forbidden Palace for our [...]

China Trip – Day 6
December 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Trips
Today, we were going to take it easy. Daddy suggested to go 秀水 for shopping first, so that we have time to try the clothes in the hotel room, and have time to go back for exchange if the size doesn’t fit.
So we woke up a bit later. The hotel provided buffet breakfast. I loved [...]

I read about this Siberian Tiger Park, so I “insisted” on going, since we didn’t have a chance to see the ice festival.
Turns out, the trip to the tiger park was SPECTACULAR! The tigers are free roaming, barricaded by metal fences. We were in a bus, but the tigers can come up right next to [...]

We arrived at about 730am. Our business partner wanted to come fetch us. He knew we were coming for a hols, so he specially made a trip back to his hometown or Harbin. Normally he is based in Dalian. So sweet right?
When we arrived, it was so cold, that the moisture on our eyelashes became [...]

After lunch, brought the kids to their wet market. Then took a ride home in their trishaw, for only RMB2!
Before we left for the train station, Wang Ping’s family insisted to have dinner with us again, cos they had not met Matthew, as he was having drinks with our business partners the day before.
It was [...]

Before going to do some “work”, we brought the kids to the mall to buy some more winter wear, cos it was really really cold. We saw this auntie selling 冰糖葫芦 and we bought some. We bought the strawberries ones, the grapes ones and sweet potato ones. Quite yummy but quite sweet too.
We then had [...]

It’s a tradition…Donald had his selection and Toria had hers.
We were quite mean… We (Daddy, Mummy, Donald & Toria) were going to fly to China for a holiday/business trip today, leaving in the cab at about 530am, so we woke Lizzie up at about 5am, to let her do her birthday morning selection… gave her [...]
