as i am in my last year in Beijing, i'm enjoyin my last winter here.
well, last week i took a cab n stucked in a traffic, which is a common thin in big cities nowadays.
i noticed that some buildings werent there when i came here back in years ago.
this city's been changin, n i am part of it...
n to think bout those years, i feel a bit of sad, coz i know that someday i'll have to leave this city.
i like the sky, where the sun always in your south(in Indonesia, we have the sun directly above our head)
when its cloudy...
when its rainin...
when its snowin...
although the weather were much drier than in Indonesia, but i'm used to it now,
the secret is : drink a lot of water...by a lot, i mean A LOT!! hehehe
to talk bout the people then,
i'm surprised that nowadays people were much nicer than years ago.
they say thank you in shops, they dont spit in public spaces,
imagine the 1st time i came here...
but still they lacked of somethin here...
in fashion, they're way behind Shanghai, where we could see more flashy people
in food, they're way behind Guangzhou, where we could find things more cheaply n variably
well, i dont know what it is, but maybe as a capital of this country, they cant resist people comin in from other provinces, n thus they cant promote their own characteristic.
but, they have their own history here,
they have worlds most historical places that you'll ever had.
they have the Great wall (2 hours from the city)
they have the Forbidden City
they have the Summer Palace
they have the Heaven temple
etc.
imagine that they build it hundreds of years ago.
the Great wall was dated in Qin dynasty (approx. 2 centuries ago)
while Forbidden city was dated back in Ming dynasty ( approx. in 15th century)
n they preserved it well enough to make it a big tourist attraction here.
the City Government had millions of yuans every year from sellin those tourist spots.
imagine if Indonesia could do the same thing bout Borobudur n Prambanan temples...
i wished that people from Central Java government saw this blog anyway.
i'll post more things in couple of days,
regards,
xain
