• Countdown to Jan 21, 2007: Hubby's Beijing Trip

    Hubby's Beijing Trip

    Sunday, December 16, 2007
    As mentioned in my previous post, the husband is now home from his business trip. Poor dear, he went straight to the office after arrival, without even dropping his baggages at the hotel. First 2 days were mostly work. He would stroll around nearby malls by himself on weeknights to kill time and have dinner. Good thing though, he wasn't required to report for work on Saturday. So that morning, he went to Tian An Men Square by himself with instructions from colleagues. He said the subway was pretty convenient so he was able to get there easily. He got to see the Forbidden Palace where the emperors during the Qing Dynasty lived. They have this small device for rent, sort of like a walkman, for 40 RMB which served as recorded tour guide for tourists who visits the palace. After his TAM tour, he met with his colleague and off they went to Great Wall of China. The majestic creation of Emperor Qin Shi Huang which was built using the bloody hands of his people thousands of years ago. The only visible thing on earth that can be seen from the moon. (My teacher in chinese history surely thought me well *LOL*). Boy, I really have to go there some time in the future to see it with my own eyes! Anyways, he said they weren't able to walk far coz his colleague was tired after a short walk. I told him - nasa kabilang lupalop pa ng China ang end nung Great Wall. *LOL* He brought home a couple of photos from the trip. A couple - meaning not a lot - coz he was mostly taking self portraits while on tour. Though only a few, the tour was documented through photos. Here are some of them...

    The husband has his own blog by the way. For the first time, he posted something not related to programming! See his post here.

    Anyways, I'm glad he's back home. And I'm so looking forward to traveling with him come year 2008!

    While current technology doesn't provide a way to permanently zap my freckles, I will learn to love them for the meantime.

    Unbelievable as it may seem, we're finally tying the knot on Jan 21, 2007. This is an online journal that documents every tidbits of our wedding preparation as we savour every moment of it.
