Climbing Great Wall...






Fabulous trip to Beijing! Did not expect to get PEK flight so quickly...since couple days before that 2 days Kuala Lumpur trip was removed from my roster I was pulled out for London Heathrow 24 hrs layover...then Sheduling found out i was very sad hahahaa....so he gave me Beijing flight to recompesate my sadness!


From Dubai to Beijing was full of chinese people and students also Malta team to Olympic games were on board. We had unexpected severe turbulance on the way to PEK... "Cabin Crew take your seat!" immediately I took the nearest jump seat and weged my cart...was kind of scary experience!


As soon as we arrived Beijing Capitol International Airport, the new terminal 3 was huuuge! Those chinese people invested money and money to improve their airport to receive 2008 Olympic Games! People said they have been waiting for this chance for more than 100 years and now they got it, hence, they got to do the best to welcome people around the world!


Afterward we went to Silk Market to bargain price on our shops! believe me it was an awesome experience i ever had on shopping...the price could drop down from 1000 yuan to 100 yuan only! hahahaha such a FAKE thing selling around the market...D&C, Tommy, Abercrombie, Gucci, Lacoste, Swatch, Fossil, etc. They look pretty much similar to a real brand but yes they are all copies!


Here comes teh Great Wall, one of the 7 wonders in the world, the only human made construction can be seen from the NASA space! It was amazing such a LONG wall built over 3000 years old...the tour guide explained to us all its history on the way to Mu Tian Yu entrance, we paid 250 yuan for the trip, 2 hrs trip going and 2 hrs coming back...really exciting on getting on the Great Wall...never dreamed of this before...thanks for Emirates I made it~! We climbed 1000 steps to get to the top of the wall, and now i can say i did reach the top of the world...sounds weird but it is true saying this in ths trip! I had the best crew ever in this short Beijing trip 31 hrs layover, missing you all people!
