Beijing, China

sejak balik memang malas nak start blogging... maybe dah lost the momentum... tapi, sebab nak dokumentedkan the trip to China... so kena gak berusaha gigih...ok.. actually walaupun seminar start on 21 july tapi flight schedule on 19 july 2340.. tapi delayed beberapa jam and I finally arrived Beijing airport on 20 july 0700... sampai ja organizer dh tunggu and straight pegi hotel... 2 orang participants dari Malaysia... me and mr tan dari penang... mr tan bawak wife dia sekali... bila sampai hotel, lepas check in dan segala urusan ngan organiser... kami decided untuk keluar jalan-jalan... sebelum pegi I dah buat homework on attraction / shopping places in Beijing... so, kami ke Wang Fu Jing Street... kire tempat shopping untuk tourist la... saja jer ke situ sebab paling dekat ngan hotel... kami ambik taxi dari hotel...

 on the way to hotel

 Beijing City

Wang Fu Jing Street

then, masa nak balik kami tak dapat taxi... puas cari jalan ke subway... pening gak walau ada map... nasib baik mr tan boleh cakap mandarin... kat China nih, susah gak nak communicate sebab even simple english pun diaorang tak paham... dan jugak kurang friendly... so, lepas puas jalan + pusing2 dapat la kami balik hotel dengan selamat... subway sangat murah... ke mana pun hanya 2 yuan = RM1 one way, even transfer line tak payah bayar...

 

 subway route - ada 9 different lines

the next day, baru the seminar start... we had opening ceremony in the morning and proceed with lecture in the afternoon... lectures goes on for the whole week... most of the lectures were in chinese./ mandarin.. so everything depends on the translator... translate line by line... so, walau interesting manapun topik... still rasa boring and dry...

 

p.s. kat sini takde petunjuk kiblat macam most hotel kat Malaysia... so, sangat important untuk bawak kompas kiblat dan download waktu solat awal-awal kat sini... http://www.islamicfinder.org/
