Highlight 3: The Great Wall!!! Which needs no introduction

Nikki mirroring Mao. If you're wondering why we're all looking @ different directions, its cos the Americans were all taking pictures of us. "I got to have a picture of the Singaporeans" Yep. We're collectively known as the Singaporeans. Who sleeps. Muhaha.

It was pretty crowded.
The wall....baby.



Nope. It wasn't steep at all. Huh.



So after all the climbing. We decided to take the easy way down. heh. I thought it was rather smart of us, till we ended up at the other end of the great wall and made everyone else wait for us in the bus.

SJ caught in the air.
Brother soo said something irritating.

The mat was really comforting. haha. Was sitting behind brother soo and he commented that this was the safest ride in Chin yet. Very true. LOL ( i have video of our tour bus U-turning from the 3rd lane. Chinese traffic is just fantastic)


And the ride kinda stopped in the mid way of nowwhere all of a sudden. So everyone started cam whoring and taking videos. Including me. I was lucky enough to be under the shade. haha. Vera behind me wasn't so lucky.

Video!



Ride at great wall -


Stuck and bored. So we played music.

Summer Palace - As the name suggests. Its the place where the Emperor visits during summer.
Wasn't too impressed by the place cos we went there after the Great Wall. How to be impressed? Plus, we're all tired from all the climbing and heat. zzz. Lunch there wasn't that bad though. I guess i'll blog bout food separately.



See the lake in the background. Mr emperor got people to dig it so that he could have a lake view. Oh well. Not too surprised by the "want a lake, dig a lake" attitude.
The very very very very long corridor. Told you they like walking.
