Since my facebook, twitter, youtube are down in this part of the world… even tumblr is down! so I am using wordpress (thank goodness at least this is accessible) to share with the world how I’m surviving here.
Been a great trip so far that went smoothly. From the looks of it, there shouldn’t have major hiccups popping along the way till this weekend. Just arrived in Shanghai this morning after dragging myself out of bed at 5am.
Beijing was great, but not really my kind of city. Too many people, too many spits on the ground (still!), and well, too many people again. Culturally it may be rich and probably I haven’t seen the best the city has to offer. Previously I’ve been to the Forbidden City and Great Wall (pre-Olympics) so naturally this time round I detoured to the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube. Boy was I impressed with China. The space and architecture at the Olympic Village is simply breath-taking.
These past week not only added some value to my existence, but it certainly added 2.4kg to the figure on the scale. Too many Peking ducks, too many beef rolls, and you may say the same for the toufu, the soup, the fried fish, the dumplings, and well… the buffet breakfast not to forget.
Gym is there but I just have to gather tremendous energy and discipline to move those muscles/fats.
oh well…
I’m doing just fine here.
