Unidentified SG

No need thx la , just buy me few packet of top quality tea can liao Laughing

Unidentified SG

There something a little worth buying , but u see where got sell cheap la

The cup got printed picture , i think usually is black
when pour hot water into the cup , it will cause the black picture to fade away to reveal a coloured picture , when the water cool , it start to turn black again

Xiaozzhen SG

Printed picture got poison or not???!!!!

Unidentified SG

no la , it printed outside the cup , and u hold your hot drink inside the cup Laughing

i dont think the picture is all the way up to the mouth there

oh ya, another cute tea equipment : ceramic peeing boy
The science of heat expand n cold contract
it is warmed to expand , then put in cool water to ''absorb'' water in
and when the pour hot water on it , it will start ''peeing''

Unidentified SG

oops , sorry double post

Xiaozzhen SG

Hi there..

I m with a tour, but very private tour, just four of us.

sorry this is from memory...

First day... Forbidden City, Summer palace etc
Second day... Tiananmen, Temple of Heaven , The Great Wall of China etc
Third day... Olympic Grounds , Pub Street, etc
Fourth day... Resort and maybe ming tombs? or another temple
Fifth day... Option to go amusement park (but I think we will not be amused and will find a better alternative) and then home.

Tim Sum Bkft and Roasted GooseDinner. Most meals provided except last day. Hope to eat the goose twice without getting ripped. Will probably buy another optional tour on last day. Any suggestion on "Not to be missed?"

Very Happy

Xiaozzhen SG

Don't b so "kan jiong". You have been to Beijing already!

I am just going my first time.... Wink

kenn3th SG

give u another hint. try to buy as many cds and vcds as u like, cause got some of them are new releases that are not even out in singapore stalls yet, and it's price is around $5 singapore dollars.

Surprisingly, there is no such thing as piracy there, and when i was in GuangZhuo Captial, the shopping centres there (approx the size of Taka) has shops "legally" selling VCDs and CDs, which look exactly the same as "ORIGINALS".

Oh yea, pls dont put these cds into your hand luggage, but it with ur clothes

Xiaozzhen SG

I was told :

Any fruit stall u see there buy le better WASH BEFORE EATING
They wont tell but i got to tell you that it SUPER DUPER UNHYGINIC

Especially when they are grown in village , those people no practice hygince wan , dun care drop on dirty water still can pick up sell , it not suprising that they dont wash hand after ''big business'' and continue to harvest fruit

Xiaozzhen SG

Then washing won't help. Mr. Green

Even in Singapore, I avoid buying China food, fruits and vegetables. And Now, I am going China.

The best way, buy whole fruits. wash very well and skin it yourself....

wizwizard SG

Try not to use the ATMs there. My friend recently tried to withdraw some cash from an ATM. The card came out. The reciept came out.

The money never come out. Laughing

Xiaozzhen SG

Yes, I hear from many people that even money changers there will cheat, so better to bring more rmb than not.

I wonder why China has gotten itself such a bad reputation?
Illegal stuff, Copyrights infringement, diseases, unhygenic food, substandard in production of food, equipment, etc, Cheating and Fleecing tourists.....

Confused

U know, there is a saying..

"first they ignore,
then they redicule,
then they fight,
then we win."

quoted by Gandhi.

People feel threatened, therefore would go around spreading the bad name of china..

personally i been to china before..one of the most beautiful places in the world i dare say.

but then again, most of these forumners cant even be streetwise enough to save their own ass.

pinkish purple papayas SG

but of course lah, if u wanna listen to any shi.t people here, i can also add in and say,

china people eat babies.

its true, very true, i say my fren went to china and saw a baby eating contest.

btw, i am peter parker too..

Xiaozzhen SG

But.... it is just not these forumners... we read stuff from The Straits Times too. I'll ignore, say.... The New York Times...

Of course, some are malicious gossip Razz

Xiaozzhen SG

Bye for now, gals and guys..... Wink

Wish me a good trip and to avoid all the bad things you warn me about and buy many many cheap stuff.

Hopefully I have adventures to ravel when I am back.

Til next week.....

Very Happy
