Hope you enjoy it :) Vipoo |

Arrive BeijingI arrived in Beijing late afternoon of 22 Sep 2007. I was shock by the amount of mist and smoke in the city. Everyone said it was normal and it was a "good day"!!! There are so many building being built. |

My first meal in China They look great but did not taste as nice, a bit of a disappointment for this demanding Thai! Having said that I put on weight when I get back (well...about 6 KG!!!). |

A very interesting place. Come from Bangkok, I think my bargaining skill is quite good but it was defeated here!! The real cost (what local would pay) is one tenth of the price they quote you! |

Donghuamen Night Food Market I think it set up mainly for tourists but it has many wired and interesting things. I found my favourite food here, it is a fruit stick!!! Just like toffee apply in Australia...I think ...but they come in many variety of fruit. The best one is peach!!! I eat it almost every night as my after dinner treat. |
