Beijing Aftermath
I came back from Beijing 2 days ago. The whole trip was fun, witnessing the remains of structures built in 1400s. It's amazing to see the intelligence of Chinese people back then. If not because of Opium war, Chinese would have emerged as one of the superpowers in the world. Anyway, I will definitely visit China again. The only downside in China is shopping. The things there are so cheap. All the stores claim that they are the stores that supplies silk, jade, pearls to the imperial palaces. And you have to bargain the price. For example, I bought a purse for my mom, the opening price is 450 yuan and i managed to bargain down to 70 yuan.
Yesterday evening, as I drove in Jaguar down a street called Chancerry Lane, I recalled the memory of helping a good friend whom was stalked by another good friend of mine. It happened 6 years ago. As I drove past, I still see the same apartment block, the same bus stop, and coincidentally, the same bus number drove past me while I was waiting for green light at the junction. It's an interesting sweet but bitter affair to remember.
