Bei Jing

Finally back from my first winter vacation,Bei Jing,China.

I've longed to visit this country.True that I've been there,but sadly,it wasn't enough,not at all.Everything went pass too fast,trembling under the cold wind,the tour guide hurried us from station to station.My camera broke down on the first day of the trip,but it's okay, I caught a few nice ones and maybe a lot more with my buddy's camera,also a Nikon D40,Joy!

Trees gone bald, people wrapping up like dumpling, breathing out white fume and constantly rubbing their palms.Yes,thats winter for a Malaysian teenager.16℃ is the maximum temperature you get here with air conditioner.Over there its more like a indoor temperature.Cheng De town hit the lowest temperature ANY Malaysian can ever experienced -16℃.Yea,cool.I don't think so.

Overall,I think its a great trip going with my friends,juniors and teachers,don't get me wrong, it not a boring field trip,the teachers were fun,they even went skiing with the teenagers.As for photography wise,no,it was not satisfying because the camera hardly captured anything I like,but I caught them with my own eyes and that is good enough.

To friends, juniors, teachers and China.Cheers.
