I guess this late na yung post ko…anyway, just to share with you my Shenzen-Shanghai-Beijing trip last April..hehehe it’s really way to late…but worth sharing J

The trip was I think about 8 days…hmm..I really can’t remember..oh well, the trip was really really tiring…educational and a lot of plane rides and a lot of fun.

Day 1…

Manila

to

Macau

to Shenzen

The trip was delayed…four hours delayed grabe..but we were given a VIP treatment naman by NAIA…buti naman noh…ayun andun kami sa VIP lounge..may food sila duon then lounge…ayun dun kami naghintay… naghintay…at finally we boarded Air Macau.  Yahoooo…here we go….and

sana

makababa kami sa

Macau

..I so love the place!

Upon arrival…we boarded the bus then off to Shenzen…too bad… we cannot go down…ayun sight-seing lang saw Taipa, Macau Tower…hayyy I really miss Macau…

it was a long ride to Shenzen and twas already really late…I think we arrived there around 2:00am…then off to doze off and rest….

…Shenzen…

In the morning, we ate some Chinese breakfast it was noodles, noodles, and noodles…lahat ng klaseng noodles…ai nakakapraning kase walang kape…so ayun magtiis sa Chinese dish…

Oh well the restaurant was packed with Filipino travelers…para kaming nasa Pinas J

We met our group, 4 families…and kami friends hehehehe…one family kina Kathleen and her Mom, then the Go Family (Mr Wlifred Go and his wife and the cute kid), Ventura Family (….sila Tita, Tito, Yshi, Monique and Alexis), then Marvin and his Tita.

P.S. Hi to you all of you! J

Anyway, they were a good company…at first they were asking if we were family, sympre hindi..then friends…next question was…how did we become friends..officemate bad daw or churchmate..err huwat?? Hehehe

Moving on…we went to the Wonders of the World…but we decided not to go in but rather go shopping…we just had some pictures then ayun may pinggan ako na picture hahaha!…ai naku…napakamahal na pinggan!

Then after had dinner then went to

Shanghai

via China Eastern Airlines….hmm…tama ba?

….Shanghai….

As far as I remember I think it was also late when we arrived

Shanghai

but not as late when we arrived Shenzen…so ayun sympre tulog…we did not unpack coz the next day we have to go to

Beijing

..o diba…jetsetter…

In the morning….at least medyo ok naman ung food sa hotel, but then there was a coffee, a ready made one with milk…as in nakatimpla na….pero hindi ko pa din like..pano napaka oily ng pagkain sa

China

!

Oh well anyway, ayun we went to the

Paris

of

Asia

..then Oriental Pearl, ung TV Tower at yung susunod daw na tallest building in the world…saka mga factories..

Then left

Shanghai

and off to

Beijing

again via China Eastern Airlines…

…

Beijing

…

The weather in

Beijing

was 11 degrees…acckkk!! I just so hate a very cold weather..ayun sympre sinipon ako…ano pa nga ba maasahan ko diba? we thought it was only 18 degrees…as if eh ganun pa din yun…

But

Beijing

was the highlight of this trip..the best! Kahit sinisipon ako go! Hahahaha…we went to Forbidden Palace, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, and the Great Wall of China (minus one na….six wonders of the world na lang dapat ko makita…lol) and well a lot of factories…lahat at ng factory ng China napuntahan naming..Silk Factory, Jade Factory, Jewelry factory at napakadaming factory pa hahaha…also we went where the Beijing 2008 will be held..may countdown na nga duon eh…grabe preparation nila for the Olympics…

So ayun..to top it all..sympre may shopping…ayun shopping galore…eto ung funny…nakabili kami ng 32GB na thumbrive at 30yuan! Meaning pag kinonvert mo yun sa peso it would be around 200 pesos plus lang..we had a doubt pero sympre buy pa din..hmm..32GB! as in GB ha! Pero ayun pagdating ng

Manila

sira hahaha..

China

talaga imitation lahat! Kaloka!

We spend 2 days sa

Beijing

…maganda duon, well I really enjoyed

Beijing

…kahit pa nagkasakit ako go pa din!

We went up to the Great Wall of China…wow as in bakit ba ginawa yun…dapat Gret Stairs of China yun eh…I never went up nakakapagod…sobrang taas…it was really amazing…as the story goes sabi it was man-made..wow talaga…

Yung

Forbidden

Palace

naman..sobrang laki…napakalaki….imagine may Palace na may

Summer

Palace

pa…I just remembered Princess Hours and the Palace…oh well…hmmm…sarap maging Princess…hehehehe…

….Beijing to

Shanghai

….

So ayun…we went off to

Shanghai

again visited a

Chinese

Medical

Hospital

wherein the Doctor would just look you in the eye and then kakapa kapain lang yng balat mo..then malalaman nila yung sakit mo…then from

Beijing

we flew back to

Shanghai

…

….Shanghai to Shenzen…to Macau back to

Manila

Then again from

Shanghai

we flew back to Shenzen then rode a long bus ride again back to Macau then flew to

Manila

…

Phew! A lot of plane rides and factories! Hehehe…but the trip was worth it…but I’d suggest you really have to go there with a tour guide or you will really be lost!

We were just lucky to be with wonderful people during the trip…

To Aira and Sil….Cheers guys! Looking forward in our next overseas trip…to those who were with us…thanks for a great company! It was a blast!  Xiexie for the great time!

P.S.  I just wished I remembered those Mandarin words na pinag aralan ko…oh well, ayun nakalimutan na….parang

sana

may subtitle na lang yung sinasabi nila diba! Eto nakakatawa since we forgot our Mandarin lessons, ayun sign language kami parati! and it was kinda effective in a way…hehehe…

P.S.  Belated Happy Birthday Monique!
