We have been in Beijing twice. First time We just stayed for one night. But second time we went to roam around. Our hotel was near the airport.On the way we found every transport had to go through checking before entering Beijing.
We arrived at noon and went to Dicos to have launch. Then our hosts told us to get ready to go to see''Great wall''. Hey, we were not in proper clothing. So, we argued with them. And, told we want to go next morning.
They became a bit disappointed but accepted our demand. Then they took us in a very famous shopping mall. Where we became disappointed too! There were every brand shops and price was beyond our capacity. But we found Bangladeshi made jacket over there and shouted gleefully!
Hence, we just did window shopping, mood was not too good! And, we got back to the hotel with empty hands. Then, had dinner and adda ( adda is chatting with friends, there colleagues from different offices took friend's place).
Next morning we woke up with a desire and hope. Yes, we were on the way to Tienanmen square. It is a must see place of Beijing. We were very happy to be there.
From Tienanmen we went to the Great wall. Great wall, you know one of the 7 wonders of the past. But they did reconstruction and renovation. And, renovation and reconstruction is going on. But I wanted to see how did it look like in its original form. There are two ways to go up. You can use your own foot or you can ride on cable car. Choice is yours. During winter you have to spend 35 yuan and in summer it coats 45 yuan. But if you want to ride cable car, you have to spend more than 100 yuan. I forgot the exact fair as we went up on foot!
It gave us a feelings like that we got a chance to see an wonderful work of the past human being. And, of course, our heads began to spin to think how they erected it!
p.s. there must be a problem, I could not add pics today.

Yes, I heard it and took pics in front of it. Thanks for correction, Smith.
Excellent!
Did you hear of this saying 'You won't be a hero until you get to the Great Wall'? Congratulations - you're now a hero:)
By the way, you should have said 'the Great Wall' instead of 'Great Wall'.
Thanks a lot, Misha>

We were very happy to be there.
Donnobad teacher Afro. I hope my Bangla will improve soon. Thanks!
haha...you can say'vai' but it is better if you say' apa/apu' to a female. Thanks.
Suvo sokal Afro, teaka assay afro vai. can I say 'vai' for females too? I like the Chinese food a lot.
Thanks, Dara. Are you so interested about food? Okay, let me say. Chinese food is healthy, indeed. they prefer half cooked and boiled something raw. Rice and noodles taste a bit different than us. What we eat in Bangladesh as chinese food in Chinese reataurant have different taste than its origin (n from original chinese food). We can eat because food was specially cooked for us or they tried to cook a bit in our way. I have seen their original food which was ordered by other guests. They seem inedible for me.But if you can eat raw vege, boiled fish with soy sauce then you will enjoy original chinese food.
Suvo sokal Afro, that wall is one of the wonders of the world, isn't it? We heard a lot of sacrifices about that square. and a big change in Chinese history. Tell me about the Chinese food.
