Thoughts all over

This entry will show my thoughts all over the place - just bear with me ok?

Dorm living

It has been two days since moving to the dormitory,
its two blocks away from Raffles Beijing,
the ladies are on level 2 and men on level 5,
our toilets are located outside of our living compound,
shower that do not work well,
lights that are synchronized with just one switch,
an office space converted to dorm living just for us,
that explains why i haven't been updating much.

Experience

The past three days have been quite a great experience for me,
jitters, butterflies you named it i experienced it,
i can't imagine life under the spotlight.

Weather

Weather-wise it has been damn hazy and polluted here,
looking out from the hotel,
i cannot see the building just 500 metres away,
its really bad,
i don't even feel like going out.
The temperature is heating up,
making all of our skin dry and peel,
as my cousin would say "pile on the moisturizer"! haha =P

Interesting

Oh ya forgot to mention,
Davis my colleague from Raffles Singapore came to Beijing,
and we have been hanging out,
he brought us to this restaurant called 1001 nights at Dongsishitiao,
20-30 minutes taxi ride to the venue,
the place was beautifully decorated,
belly-dancers for entertainment,
and sesha to smoke. hahah.. food wise arabic style - not bad, can recommend guests!
Beers are cheap here!
1 can of heneiken cost 9RMB = $2 sin dollars - cheap right?

Coming up

This sunday the company have organized a tour for us whic includes:
- Great Wall of China, Hutong Province and Chinese Boxing

The next time i hope i have pictures to share! Take Care
