Im terribly excited today we are to Tian'men Square, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven..
Tian'men Square
went we reach there we were intrusted to placed our belongings with the tour guide and no cameras are allowed. people have to queue up to get in and you have to remain silent.. its a very very very long queue and after entering the building its was totally very peaceful i just followed the people in front of me.. and at the second hall i was totally astonished to see a really preserved body in front of my very own eyes.. gosh its the Chairman Mao body.. he is the person that i have been reading and studying about during my secondary school life.. seriously i feel honoured to be able to be close to his body.. gosh.. amazing..
Forbidden City
it so so huge serious.. with so many rooms in there i wonder if the concubines or whoever ever get lost in there.. hehe.. 9,999.5 rooms.. but it was interesting i managed to see the different rooms the emperor went.. for example his wedding room, his meeting room, his changing room and so on and so forth.. hehe..

I think the Chinese in the olden days are very clever.. see that hole there.. in the oldest days there wasnt any good drainage system or canal or small longkangs along the forbidden city to drained out the rain water if its raining.. so the purpose of the hole is that whenever it rains water will just flow down from the hole and so the place wouldnt get flooded.. interesting..
Temple of Heaven
Interesting place.. this is where the emperor will come to meditate and pray and there will be a changing room for the emperor even.. i seriously love the pathway coz there are 3 different lanes.. 1 for the emperor, 1 for the God and the other.. hmm i kind of forgot that one.. hehe.. coz i walked on the emperor path.. wakaka.. FEELINGZ FEELINGZ!!!

a nice pathway at the temple of heaven..

Roaming time.. i went to Wan Fu Jing with Khai, Iqah and Faisal coz i need to buy Olympic souvenirs back and the streets there were totally packed with people.. then we had our dinner and briefing time.. but i went over to Chong room for the surprise xmas party for nicole and melissa..
