Happenings

Payday...brings a smile to our faces. Specially because it means we can now continue exploring the city.

Saturday:

We went to China's Ethnic and Culture Park near Tobal's place. The park is divided into the North and South park. We were only able to visit one part coz we all came from our shifts.

Sunday:

We had a crazy Sunday night at our apartment. Tobal and Day joined us. We played tong-its, Tobal taught us how to play Poker (I won twice!), and later on played the Beer Game. It was hilarious because there were a lotta consequences given during the game.

Some of us were asked to dance, do push ups, stand on one leg, touch another player's nose w/o looking, and of course drink, drink, drink.

Tuesday:
We went on a pilgrimage to Sacred way and Ming Tombs. It took us 3 buses and a subway ride to get there. It was like we went to Pampanga or Laguna because it's that far from the city. One indication that told us we're reaaallly a long way from home are the bungalows we were seeing. You won't see that in the city.

All we did was WALK, whine about walking, and WALK. My feet's still recuperating from all that walking.

The OFWs exploring Beijing. Haha! There were signs saying "Cherish the cultural relics please don't climb" but we didn't care.
Another group picture. This was taken atop the underground palace which wasn't such a sight given that we didn't have any tourist guide to explain the what-have-you's of the Ming Tombs and the Underground Palace. We're in it for the pics, that's all! =P
