Went to Beijing 2 weeks ago for work stuffs. This is my first time in Beijing! I took the chance to grab “Life’s Good moments” resulting with 200+ pictures taken! Guess I don’t only have good moments, some bad but memorable moments. Go to this link to vote for me @ LG Ambassador Contest

We reached Beijing in the morning around 8am. When we first reached Beijing, our business partners took us around for breakfast before going to our hotel. God… I think I never wasted so much food in my life. SOOOOOOOOOOOO many buns that I feel like I gonna die from them. For the record, I ate 1 bowl of dumplings(around 10 dumplings) and 8 chinese buns with meat/vegetable fillings.

After breakfast and dropping off our luggage at the hotel, we proceeded to their office for work.

After lots and lots of meeting throughout the day, we went to the “Tower”(cant remember the name) where all the servers and broadcasting for their company is hosted.

Outside of the tower there are gigantic chinese chess pieces! Apparently this is like a tourist spot too. Lots of tourist walking around taking pictures.

We ate lots of food over in Beijing. By lots I mean LOTS. So it actually became a Life’s Food moments instead of Life’s Good moments…

Another major highlight is Beijing games expo(forgot exact name). Our business partner recommended we take a look at the expo to learn more about China market.

The place is designed like a cathedral. Pretty neat inside. Saw a bunch of the latest online games. Unfortunately, FireFall wasnt available for public test. Our guide told us that, even the older generation people will come here just to take free goodies.

We went abit of shopping too. I noticed the people over there either have really great service or lousy service.
Lousy service – they can just yawn in your face and just don’t care about the customers in their shop.
Great service – they will go out of their way to help you even if they don’t earn any money. Really helpful with big :) :) :)
