Beijing 2012 : Nanshan Ski Village

11/12/12

Our day started as early as yesterday. Again, subway trips, changing lines to I-forgot-the-station-name hahaha Upon reaching the station, we walked abit to the place where a bus that we had made bookings with, was waiting to ferry us to Nanshan Ski Village. We gonna have a whole day at Nanshan coz the bus would only fetch us at 5.30pm. The journey to Nanshan took about one and a half hour. The bus & entrance tickets to Nanshan had been paid to the bus conductor who collected our money along the journey.

Reached Nanshan, bought tickets for ski equipment for 3 persons, Mal, Adek & Kakak. Abit chaotic la coz the deposit to be paid mahal sangat for 5 persons so we settled for 3 persons je. Afterall later on ley ganti2 main. Made payments for hiring an instructor for 2 hrs too. 

In all, we had 4 hrs of fun skiing, Kakak especially. Kakak's a fast learner. Pandai sey dia ski :)) Mama tergolek-golek jatoh hahaha 

Abang wanted to try to ski so much so I let him & of coz with very very close supervision by Abang Mal & Mama. Alhamdulillah he got to try to ski & didn't feel so bored waiting.

We decided not to wait for the bus and to leave earlier on our own. Lau stay lama kang kejong plak satu2 hehehe so we hired a car yes, bargain ar sampai driver agreed to amek all 6 of us in one car hahaha Alighted at a bus station where we took bus no 980 to one of the subway station. As usual, made a stop for makan. It was at a restaurant close to Beijing Hotel in a more up-market area. Dinner was all the time considerably CHEAP!! tu pasal la kite enjoy makan2 pat Beijing :)

Walked abit around the area after dinner. 

There was this place very similar to Bugis Street in Singapore. Time to bargain lagik!! hehehe best arr!! And my best bargain here was for a teapot which originally priced at 85 Yuan but I got it for 30 Yuan which is equivalent to S$6 yey! suka suka suka!! Ok k kaki da cramp, we left soon after, taking subway again back to the hotel.
