Beijing 2007 - completed july 2009

Nenek, CikNin and seven of us went to Beijing 2007 . KLIA. China Airlines. Depart 3am in the morning





























In the plane.

Below: arrival at Beijing airport

















Terus ke Summer Palace. We were hungry - nasib baik ada roti hok ciknin bawak. So we all had that for breakfast. Alex is our guide








































































The lake near the Summer palace above - the surface is frozen.













After that, baru pergi hotel. Check in takes about 1 hour.
















SO, with the tour, we have to go where the tour bus takes us to. Pearl shop.
















Acrobatic Show - amazing what human bodies can do. The way they flex, bend, twist, dance - WOW!


















On the way to the Forbidden City. Nenek stayed on the bus which went to the back of the palace to wait for us. Her kaki sakit she said.











Timing of Olympic 2008 - in Tiananmen Square - kat tepi




















Tiananmen Square - which is infront of the Forbidden City


















Forbidden City - Front View









































Look at the 'soldiers' - they are so young

Behind the foridden city. Nice lake































































Below is kepompong silk. We are asked to pull the silk threads - boy - very strong the threads
































The silk jackets made by the company for leaders of the world....


Check out who they are behind us...





























Makan time is always something to look forward to...




Fadhil would dance after this dinner







urut kaki.













Me, Fadhil, CikNin and nenek yg urut. the rest too young!!!!

















On the way to Great wall, ada one stop at a jewelry centre - part of the tour... The bus stops, we turun...

















Makan and pray first in this restaurant. Jumpa many malaysians here

































Terracotta warriors - in the restaurant before the wall climb.























Went to Great wall. Very cold. It was zero degrees. There are 8 stations along the wall. CikNin and I went up to station 3 - almost died along the way - the steps are very steep. Nasib baik ada hand rail. If not x naik la kita. nenek and ARZ chose not to climb at all. And the kids - Fadhil, Nabila, Faizal, Alif and (8 - year old) Nabil went up all the way!!!!

Below: i s Faizal in his 'tentera' uniform. He should not have smiled in the pics...

























This is station 1 - all mendatar - at the foot of the wall.
















































































Went up to the great wall



























































































Another view of Great Wall







































The jeweller has links with Poh Kong Malaysia. He gave each of us a free jade. Of course, Nabila, me and ARZ bought some more...










Background is the Bird Nest stadium for the olympic 2008.



















































Masjid . Very cold water they have for wudhu












On the last day, kids woke up to see snow outside. They screamed up and down. Rezeki...SO, before breakfast, we ran outside to see snow.

































And after breakfast, we went out to take more pics
