Favour
I was in Beijing last whole week attending 3 days training, and then extended 3 days stay in this historical place. During the week, I met up with friends that I wanted to meet and have not met for 5 years. One of them actually made an effort to meet me despite his busy schedule (coz throughout the dinner, he kept receiving phone calls from office, and he told me he couldn't remember when was the last time he had dinner at 7pm). And the rest of the friends...it's amazing to see how their kids have grown up, and all of them are so cute!
Most of the time, I went sightseeing on my own. The audio autoguides were my good companion, giving me lots of information and narration. At Temple of Heaven, there's this Indian guy, newly graduated and staying in Shanghai for the past few mths, became my photo buddy at that place and even guided me how to walk to the nearest subway! At Summer Palace, met a couple who was looking for the same plc as I did, and they become my friends, offer to take photos for me and walked with me. The day before I left, I joined a local tour to the Great Wall, Mutianyu, and I met 2 couples from USA. Nice people. Won't hesitate to offer to help me with taking photos. I enjoyed their company very much.
Upon return to KLIA, I realised that I was short of RM5 to buy the KLIA express, and asked the staff where was the nearest ATM machine. A gentlemen overheard, asked how much was I short of, and extended a RM5 note to me. What a great help, coz it was the last train and would be arriving in 10 minutes.
All in all, favour of God all through the journey.
