Week 3 (16 - 22 Sep 2013)

Hi guys! Sorry for this late update. The 3rd week at Beijing is very tiring yet rewarding. We had lessons on aviation management (lean operations) and we visited the Great Wall of China! So let's start our photo journey of the Great Wall ...

On our way to the Great Wall of China @ Mutianyu
On our way up ...
 ... to conquer the Great Wall!
As Mao Zedong once said, "不到長城非好漢 : He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man"
Some majestic views from up there
Getting to know people from all over the world ... our friends from Iran!
Look at how far we have walked ... and still there's no end in sight!
More beautiful views of the ridges and gorges
Chancing upon a Singapore flag on our way up ... our patriotic Shaun
and a super big China flag ... and a topless Andrew!
Totally worth it!
Enjoying serenity at the Great Wall - way to go Team SP!
Andrew and Shaun
Lepak ... this guy
Checking the perpendicularity of the wall ... tired sia
Where is Andrew going?
 Exploring an unchartered path and  discovering ...
... trust me, this is the toughest part of walk
with so little ground to walk on and so many obstacles in our way ...
but being rewarded with
more magnificent views from up here ...
But just when we thought it's over ...
As the saying goes, what goes up ...
... must come down.
The steepest slope and hardest part of our journey
... and the consequences. My legs have given way!
Jeremy leading the pack ...
... for a group photo near the summit
Cool pic!
Victor thinks he is riding a horse ... disillusioned after the climb
I am getting old ... (Nicholas with Jeremy sitting)
Phi Lip with a sexy pose!
Incy wincy spider ... went up the Great Wall 
Jeremy, Syafiq, Nicolas and Jacob - our four musketeers ...
One for all, and all for One!
Jeremy ... what are you up to?
Jeremy, Shermain, Dominic, Jacob, Wen Wen, Nicolas and Syafiq
Shermain and Dominic (creeping from behind)
Victor thinks he is superman
Phi Lip aka Starcraft God ... huh?
Waterrrrrr
Resting our feeble legs ... so unglamorous
Path back down!
Time to head back to the hotel ...
That's all folks
