Beijing Day 12
Words cannot fully express how much I enjoy the places I went today.
First of all, we went to the Beijing Drum tower. There they have lots of old drums and replicas. The ancient people used he drums to tell the time of they day. And they used the ball and water apparatus to calculate the passage of time. We also had a chance to enjoy the drum show, TWICE!! The horizon of the city can be viewed from the top of the tower. Plus the nice weather today, I am jealous of my eyes.
Then we went down to the small streets around the old area. that place has eventually turned into a sight seeing spot for tourists. That's why there were a lot of random stores. Food, snacks, art crafts, cuisines, massage store + reflexology. And out of nowhere, we saw that tennis court!!
It was such in interesting place, exactly somewhere I would like to spend my travelling time on. People there know the way to enjoy life, through food, beer and other activities. Except the angry drivers, people are generally friendly.
We finally had dinner at the restaurant called Pass-bys. They served delicious Pizza. We had a salad, ravioli, a curry pizza and a meat lover. So satisfied.
Love to enjoy life. Love to travel without a watch. Love the freedom. Love the Bohemian.

Beijing Day 11
This is the beginning of a 12 hour working day.
Met some interesting athletes today. Thank God the athletes are coming.
Palau, a country that I have never heard of. It's an island between Indonesia and Australia, with lots of beaches and very nice weather. A good place for vacation :)
A coach from Cameroon. I learned about this place from the World cup a number of years ago. But I still don't know where exactly this place is. Anyways, this person can speak French, Spanish and English. Then I thought, why didn't I study harder before?
On this busy day, I introduced the clinic to the Spanish and Columbian physiotherapists. They were both very nice and happy to see our facilities, satisfied as well. The Spanish PTs took a picture with me :)
Just before we left, it was raining heavily. Dr Tung insisted to give us a ride home. That's very nice of him.
Finally someone spoke out for my frustration. It's not like I am unable to voice it out myself, I do not want to disturb the harmony in the working environment if it's not causing any damage to the clients. But then if I am not the only person who is concerning about the situation, good for me cos it indicates the limit of mine.
