I have gone Beijing in China when I took winter vacation during 4 days. It was for stuedents who got a good grades. I went with four teachers and students of my high school. It was my first chance going abroad, so I was excited.
First day, I went to the Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City. Forbidden City had been background of the movie, The Last Emperor, in China, and Tianamen was front gate of Forbidden City. That, the Forbidden City, have many palaces and gold roofs. Though it passed a long time and old, but it is very big. After first sightseeing, we ate Peking duck. It was extremely oily, so we had to drink teas many times.
Second day, We went the Great Wall of China and Summer Palace and took pictures. Summer Palace had a very large lake. But, China is cold in winter, and surface of the lake is freezed. A big and blue palace and a stone ship are in there. I took a photo with putting the palace as a background.
Next day, we went two university. One is Peking University, and the other is Tsinghua University. I could see the class of the university. They were studying, although they had a winter vacation. After visiting two buildings, we had a time that we can enjoy the China's market places. We were in the Wang fu jing street. I and my friends bet, and the loosers ate weird foods. Um..I had small fried scorpians. It was delicious and crunchy. But, poor my freinds had to eat cicada lava. As they had it, their face is ... Oh, no. I can't describe their face. The mouth and tongue must have been terrible. They said "It's muchy. It's terible! Oh, yuck." I didn't eat it, so I was happy at that time. At night, I and some friends made a odd drinks to do BokBulBock, If I translate it in English, fortune or unfortune. We boiled water with some chilies and mixed with horseradish, pickled olives. And we made some cookies which has horseradish in cookies. Played some game, loser ate them. I also did. Because of doing that, our stomaches were painful and had a burning feeling in stomach. The worst, we had to have Sacheon cooks. We had those with pain in stomach.
I can't forget visiting China. Especially night of third day, I never forget.
