今天去了天坛。another terribly huge place, where the emperor went just for his prayers.
well, most of these places are undergoing renovation and reconstruction, so this isnt exactly the best time to come. but anyway, i still have several take-aways.



this is the echo wall. my mom said when she last visited the place, they could hear each other even at the ends of the wall. now it's all fenced up and you see rows of crazy people climbing onto the fence and shouting at the wall.
maybe it isnt too disappointing since you still do hear something. like say, your own voice.

not tried and tested = still a myth.




the point where i was standing on had some special meaning of its own. but not so worth remembering.
there always seem to be reasons for everything thats there. like why the particular number of lamp posts, steps and bla bla bla.

but hey look, i stepped on every corner the emperor had possibly stepped on.



it's been almost a week. i'm very at home, yet extremely lonely.
