Was really blessed to be chosen to visit Beijing for 12 days for a International Business Study mission with Ngee Ann Polytechnic. BeiJing was a sight to behold especially since it is my first time out of the country (Yes I didnt even went to malaysia before this....)

The batch of us visited places such as the Great Wall of China, Forbidden Palace, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and the Hutong(Quadrangle Courtyard) It was indeed a eye-opener for me to visit so many alluring settings! The history from these places are filled with a mouthful of quintessence which warms all of us up from the weather.

The streets of Beijing is unique in a sense that the settings and people from one street are so different and distinctive from the other street. I enjoy the warm smiles, dogs, children expressions, short buildings resulting in lovely shadows, donkey pulling carts and so many different kinds of public transports, cable lines etc etc.. Memories from childhood resurfaced from various sights here..
Beijing certainly impressed me alot from this visit and I won't deny that I may be "addicted" to travel or backpack!

Shot with M6 and CV 28mm and Tri-X. Thanks for viewing!
