Beijing Memories Part 4

Fourth day in Beijing....Bangun awal bersemangat sebab today...whole day is shopping day !!! Shop till you drop !!! Had our breakfast, makan kenyang kenyang, dok lepak kat cafe until the time for us to board the bus. Hari ni bertolak lambat sikit dari hotel...Around 10 gitu..Biasa by 9 dah shoot off dah ke our destination. The night before ramai gak tanya pesal lambat na bertolak? Pesal tak kuar kul 9? Tergelak our tourist guides 2 orang tuh...Katanya....Kedai tak bukak lagi kul 9 tuh !!! Ish...terover tau memasing nak tunggu depan kedai, tolong bukakkan pintu kedai !!!

Today's destination? Major shopping areas in Beijing. Our buses will be passing by 3 major areas namely Xidan, WAng Fu Jing and Xiushui Street or famously known as Silk Street. At each point, sesapa yang rasa nak turun, boleh turun. To travel from one place to another, silalah naik teksi sendiri aaaa..hehhehe..Explore !!! A piece of advice from our tourist guide, Faizal.....it is highly not recommended to buy IT stuff/gadgets. If you are lucky, it can lasts a few months. Otherwise, 2 weeks it will be gone, bye bye !!! Dia pesan lagi, please bargain...and do bargain hard !!! Kalau tak, memang kena sembelihlah......

Silk Street ni ada 5 tingkat. Lower Ground semua barangan kulit...kasut, beg, wallet, handbag. Ground floor semua baju baju semata....Kemeja, t-shirt, blouse, winter jaket macam macam design and colour, jeans. Next level, baju ada jugak, kain sutera china, alas meja, patch work, baju baju budak, toys. Next one, pearls, ladies accesories, jam, cermin mata. Atas sekali kedai kedai jewellery yang besar....Yang ni tak ronda aaa...hehehehhe...Tu yang ada participants yang spent the whole day kat situ aje untuk shopping. Rambang mata tauuuu !!!!

Hubby bergambar dengan salesgirl di Silk Market. Ni kedai pertama we all shopping and we spent dekat half an hour bargaining. All the shirts are very nice...Paul Smith, Emmer Zecna and otTau berapa dia bukak harga? RM300 tau !!!! Pitam !!! Tawar punya tawar punya tawar punya tawar, last price dia bagi RM50...Tu pun sebab hubby beli 3 helai. That big a difference, kan !!! Tu yang mesti mesti mesti mesti mesti mesti tawar....

We spent hours kat Silk Market tu...Pukul 4 lebih baru settle....Tu pun sebab hubby dah tak larat dah nak gaduh/bargain each time nak beli barang. Too exhausted dah, dia cakap......Mana tak nyer....semua urusan bargaining dia yang buat. KLM tunjuk je mana yang berkenan, dia pun startlah tawar menawar....KLM kureng sikit bab bab bargain ni.....Mudah sangat give in....Kalau dia, memang dia tawar cukup cukup....Sampaikan every time we all selesai beli kat shops tu, the salesgirl mesti cakap kat KLM....your hubby is a bad man...hehheheheh...Tu yang hubby letih tuh....Yang kelakar tu, kebanyakkan salesgirl, nak tarik perhatian customers masuk kedai dia, asyik dok panggil panggil tourists yang lalu lalang tu..."handome man !! Handsome man !!! Come inside !!!" Hubby dah letih nak layan, jawab " Today I'm not handsome...so cannot buy !!!" Tergelak gelak kitaorang tengok karenah salesgirls kat situ.....

Ni bergambar depan Silk Street lepas dah settle shopping. Beg tu beranak dah tu...Beli kat Lower Ground di Silk Street. Dari Silk Street, hubby ajak pergi ke Wang Fu Jing. Dah alang alang tak jauh kan...bila lagi nak pergi. Lagipun hari masih mudaaaaaaaaaaaa......

Duduk berehat kejap amik nafas lepas penat berjalan di Wang Fu Jing. See the streets? So clean tau! The whole stretch of road is closed for vehicles. Ada banyak kedai kedai sepanjang jalan tu. We just bought some souvenirs ajer. Almost 7 pm we all pun chow dah dari situ. Tak daya dah nak meronda lagi. Took a a cab to go back to hotel...Masa untuk berkemas dan bersedia untuk pulang pulak yer....

Among the things we bought during our shop-till-you-drop session in Beijing...Also the certificate kengkononnya dah panjat The Great Wall of China. Padahal tu amik kat entrance jer tuh...tak yah panjat tinggi tinggi pun..Hehehehe...Then the group picture that we took, diaorang letak kat mug and bagi sorang satu buat kenangan. Yang patung maskot Olimpik dalam kotak tu, souvenirs to all participants once we checked in. So we got 2 boxes aaaa....
