Tim Walker in Somerset House

And visited some pop up shops in the East Wing too..

The products from this one are really interesting

We bought some fairy dust

Men's Clutch

I bought this clutch in China

Very keen on its zip detail and fine leather.

there's even a detachable shoulder strap 

Bargain! :-P

Probably it's a copy of some brand (Highly likely Mulberry)

but I don't care

Back From China

Couldn't get on Facebook and blog in the past week when I was still in China

Guess the VPN didn't work properly there

Oh well, doesn't matter.. 

I am happy I am back

though I didn't have internet access to share some amazing photos at the time

I still have saved them until now to reveal to you

The Great Wall

Morning winter wonderland in TianJin

Nightlife in TJ

Farewell and take care you monsters

hope to see you again soon!

Our Galaxy

The shop is opened in a shopping centre called Galaxy

This Galaxy is just for us, us COSians in TianJin

Glad that I came here to support the opening,

I've met so many different but sweet people

Though you are going back to where you are from one after another

But please remember this Galaxy, where our memories were created

¡Hasta Luego!

Going to miss you, Elena

See you later in Beijing 

Besitos 

TianJin 古文化街

I am always fascinated by Chinese culture

Even though I am quite familiar to it..

I also get inspired by their old houses, colours and the food sometimes

So I am trying to make the most of it when I am in China this time

I had a stroll at the so-called "Tianjin Ancient Culture Street" today

To me it was too modern to be called "Ancient"

but yet it still preserved (or maybe recreated) some quite authentic ambience there

This "Eye of TianJin" is not far from the Ancient Culture street 

Very small, nothing like London eye

but hey, on TripAdvisor, it is one of their must-sees ;-)

Some souvenirs for myself :-)

Going Below

As the temperature is going below tomorrow

we went for a hot pot tonight after work

Good food, good buzz

It's always nice spending time with colleagues

:-)

Beijing

I went to Beijing today  

Apart from the fact that they did frisk search and x-rayed my bag at every single place I went, 

in every underground station, at the touristic places, etc, 

Beijing is a rather nice city to visit.

Tian An Men

Got the Forbidden City panorama-ed

I didn't do much in Beijing actually

I needed to meet a friend in the afternoon for dinner.

I think I will have to go again for the Summer Palace and 798 Art Zone

And maybe the Great Wall.. ;-P

I will also have to spend another day in TianJin next week

as I was so stunned by the night view by the river last night when I came back. 

Gorgeous, no?
