Complains and Compliments: 2nd day in BSC!

Complains I
The weather is really cold in the morning... That was my first impression of Beijing on my 2nd day in BSC... However, something else changed my perspective of Beijing BSC program. That's the FOOD! The breakfast isn't that fantastic. I guess it is just that i am not use to it. Firstly, the soya bean milk smell like it was burnt. That's one difference between the Singapore's soya bean milk and the Beijing's soya bean milk. Secondly, the food is slightly more salty and oily here than in Singapore.

Thw weather is really cold in the morning... That was my first impresion of Beijing on my 2nd day in BSC... However, on 2nd thoughts, i felt that the weather was pretty nice compare to Singapore which is so hot. It's like i am in an extremely cold air-con room. (GOOD FOR THOSE WHO ON THEIR AIR-CONS TO 18 DEGREES AND STILL FEEL IT IS HOT!)... Weather is one of the first compliments i have for Beijing and of course, BSC. The next compliment is the public transport. The public transport is really cheap compare to Singapore. It's only 40 cents yuan. WOW! 8 cents sing!? This 40 cents yuan takes you anywhere that particular bus can reach you do not have to pay any extra money! that's something you definitely wouldn't find in Singapore. For the pushing part on the bus i faced today i count that as adventuring since it is the culture here. I really find it amusing that although they were pushing, they were actually quite considerate. They move all the way to the back to let other passengers up on the bus. That's another trait that you probably can't find in Singapore since most people there enjoy having more space and tend to stop right in front of the exit and station themselves there, refusing to move any further. I have to comment about the shopping complex. The things there are real cheap compare to Singapore stuff and some is of good quality. =D HURRAY! WOW! =D

Complains II
