Travelogue - Beijing, Sights & Sounds

In April, I found myself on a plane, heading to Beijing. I was filled with anxiety because to put it simply, my Mandarin has deteriorated after years of not using it. Thankfully, the recesses of my brain still kept hold of all the words and phrases drilled into my throughout my years of education. 

We spent the first day exploring the Silicon Valley of Beijing and roaming around. There were no concrete plans due to our lack of sleep (oh, night flights). 

On one night, we decided to check out the Olympic stadiums before dinner, and there were a sight to behold! They were in their lighted glory with crowds trying to snap photos of them.

Woah. I haven't been here in a month. June was crazily hectic with the many June holiday programmes at work. The World Cup also started and my sleeping hours went all erratic. Amidst all that, I was trying to find a new job - and I did it! I'm going to be starting work on the 21 and I'm filled with excitement and a little nerves.

That aside, I just got back from Sydney and I can't wait to post the photos! Photos from April's trip to Beijing has also been collecting dust in my laptop.

More updates soon I hope, especially now that I have some free time.
