Obtaining a decent drink in Middle Kingdom is not a problem. Whether in Singapore, Japan or Sydney, a Caramel Machiatto IS a Caramel Machiatto so long as its brewed and concocted by buckies. At SGD5 for grande, you can be sure to see me again at this place before I leave the culturously and histortically rich land of China.


The weekend finally arrived, and I was free to roam around as I pleased. Went to a place called "Wang Fu Jin", one of the more expensive shopping malls around Pekking, I guess the locals think we are loaded with cash or something.... to have introduced to me this place which featured ranges from Crystal Jade Palace, Valentino to Yoshinoya and Bee Cheng Hiang .... The rain was a biatch, but I was glad to finally arrive after a cluster fck experience on the public bus and Metro. Back here, everything is considerably cheap for a Singaporean. At SGD7, I got a fine spread of these dishes at a nice environment. Chinese fast food perhaps? Back home, this same assortment would have burnt atleast SGD30 in my pockets? hahas ! If its food AND good food you're looking for, this is one of the places to be. Though I still have yet to find Chooch's 20cents gioza, at 2SGD for 8pieces of small dragon buns, I think it knocks the icing out of a Singaporean cake !

It snowed today !! Yes it did !, very light snowing at 0 degrees celcius, but due to the rain yesterday, not much infact all public roads was more wet then white. Was infact snowing whilst I took this picture, but it was so light and the flakes small that it did not really show out as desired on the frame.
Snow encrusts virtually everything which remained unmoved throughout the night and morning ! More water absorbant materials like grass and soil was covered in snow too !


Attended church too, was lucky to have a Christian boss, he introduced me to the methodist church he normally goes to when he is not attending Barker back in Singapore. About 20% were ang mohs, I realised, though the messege was in Chinese, there were these headphones which we could put on which did translation in realtime, much like that used during the Nuremberg Trials :P Couldn't really think of anymore examples hahas. Hmm this nice cross also reminds me of a certain cross on the top right hand corner of a certain badge :P
