Beijing in my Eyes

Beijing is a special place to me. Not just because its the capital of China nor the most cultural place. Definitely not because its night life or food or anything physically attached to it.

I love Beijing because its the first city I ever lived in and its the opening window for me to know about China. Most importantly it's the place that let me meet my lovely wife. Although we were not meet in Beijing, in fact we only went to Beijing after our marriage. It's Beijing this city to let me finally find my love in China.

I stayed in the east which is the CBD area of Beijing and where most expatriates lives. Nice condos, fancy restaurants, eye-catching night clubs, etc. I had a perception that Beijing is just another big city like New York or Sydney or Tokyo......No no no no!! I was wrong, very wrong!!

My wife leaded me to know more about Beijing, know more about the city by her way of living there. And that was really opened my eyes. Now how I see Beijing is very different to how I saw It few years back. More importantly, I love it even more !!
