Five (Hundred) Days of Summer: 1

This day was Friday, the day we all had been waiting for. After clearing the exams for about a month, struggling with papers, finally the holiday came. We were going to go to Beijing, China! Wait.. It was not only that country that we wanted, but also the togetherness which was rarely to happen♥

We were more than 100 heads, including teachers, students, and a very kind cleaning service :'D. Happily, 19 out of 24 students in my class were joining this kinda event.

It was when we were in the airport, terminal 2E gate E3, with the other pals, we lined up (not really actually), and entered the waiting room together. Laughter everywhere, probably we were that excited. Well, it was 8 at night, our flight was gonna be on 9.30 pm. It took 7 hours to be on the clouds.. long enough to cause a backache.

Alright, no even needed to take a cold shower (but brushed our teeth), we were directly heading at the morning to Mutianyu Great Wall. Someone broke the silence.. "I can't believe we are here, it's been forever we've only seen this great wall from pictures as one of those 7 wonders in the world." :') the one was Milla.. And of course, we didn't reach peak on foot, we used a cable car, but it was quite terrifying as well, because the way was so steep.

   

After having a foothold at the top, okay, we got hypnotized by the scenery, it was unbelievable. We felt a little nip in the air, sunny but wasn't killing. And it's been awhile, but I still feel the same. *salah*... After quite awhile, we chose to go downstairs, so manyyy cute things to buy there, but our tour guiders said that everything there was (is) a bit expensive and I didn't buy anything. It was a regret anyway :')

We had a photostop at a very unique building named CCTV building. Somehow it wasn't the only 'different' building there. Every-single-building in China has a crazy architecture. I could say that none of them having a shape literally like a bar.. And you know, the city Beijing is very similar to Jakarta, but the number of vehicles isn't as many as in Jakarta :3 unfortunately we stopped at a place which was very near to the building, so I couldn't take a picture well, therefore the picture below, I got it from Mr. Google ^^

Now, Temple of Heaven! Heeem, when we steped the place, we were shocked by choirs with sucha amazing voices. Wondering if they just wanted to have fun or they are there everyday. People playing cards at the corners, playing musical instruments. It was like everyone got united in differences :'D

At night we met the one we had been waiting for 2 days, BED! Me and Nuvi, got the room 1025 :-) happy resting! Okaaay, stay tuned for the other stories, fellas :-D
