Meanwhile, I was relishing Blown every bit of my freedom (my first real holiday ever since I started medical school), and having a good time just lazing around, shopping, watching TV, eating and sleeping (yes, picture a complete couch potato). After a few twists and turns, I decided to head to Beijing with my family for my grad trip. Wait a minute, Away by you are going to Beijing? Such was the typical response I got when others found out about my holiday plans, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Before the trip, I was worried about Beijing’s harsh chilly weather and infamous sandstorms. Thank goodness, Beijing was generally all clear and good during my visit, except for the occasional strong winds and certainly cold climate (which caused teary eyes and a runny nose throughout the trip). Going back into history We landed in Beijing and had a good night’s rest, before officially starting our tour the next day.
