Halloween Party @ 798

The Ticket

This Halloween, I went to Halloween Party at 798, exactly at 706 Factory Building. I bought the ticket at advance 80 RMB each one week before. The weather was good, because my friend told me last Halloween in Beijing already snow ( cant imagine that will be freaking cold).

This is my first time to dress up at halloween, since in Indonesia, there is no Halloween tradition to dress up. Yeah, dressing up in Halloween, it's the time when we can be someone we're not. I bought the accessories for Halloween at TianYi, i bought the bunny ear and witch hat. Then, I decided to be witch.

The interesting part of the night was the costumes. There was bunny, Beijing Olympic Mascot, Hula Girl Boy, Mickey, Xi Yang Yang, Devil, Angel, Horror Bride, Bloody Students, Army, Catwoman, Batman, Poison Ivy, Joker, Cave Man, Police, etc partying together. The most costume I saw in the evening was Beijing Police Costume, beside devil, angel, witch, etc ( other common costumes).

Tian Jin 天津

One day trip to Tian Jin. From Beijing South Railway Station to Tianjin, it's only take 30 minutes by fast train. So fast and efficient. By guide from wikitravel, book and Tianjin map, me and friends go to Tianjin. When we're arrived, the weather was kinda foggy.

First, we're going to the Traditional Street Market in TianJin. Like typical tourist in China, we're got tricked by one chinese guy. We didn't know how far the market from the train station, and because we're five person, we thought it would be cheaper to go by one taxi to the market. They guy said it will cost us 30 RMB, but after got in taxi he ask for another 5 RMB, because we're 5 person. And the market is not so far. -.-;

There are a lot of snack vendor around TianJin.

茶汤 Tea Soup?!

Those are from Chicken, the traditional way to clean.

Then went lunch in South Food Market, where there are a branch from the popular Gou Bu Li 狗不理 Restaurant in Tian Jin, they are popular with their 包子 steamed bun. For me, it's delicious but too pricey. But well, at least I tried what they said TianJin must-eat-food.

Another Snack Vendor, sell Fried Cake.

The South Food Market. ALL FOOD VENDORS!!

Gou Bu Li

It cost about 10-20 RMB/bun, while in Beijing you can find 5 RMB for 8-10 smaller bun.

After lunch, we went to Drum Tower. And again, around Drum Tower, there are many snack vendors.

Ring Toast Game, how that small rings can fit that big Pig Saving Bank!?

 What that guy are doing? He create a creature using candy.

Snack Vendors.. And Game Stalls..

Police Car Bicycle

The Last stop is Italian Street. You can't help but notice, that TianJin building is far from the China Image. It was surrounded by European Building lookalike. And these street, the government try to renovate and revive the Italian City in TianJin. From history, there are another country street in TianJin, like Germany, French, Korea, etc.

Perfect Spot for Pre-Wedding Photos

Can you spot the bride and groom? It's countless couples doing their pre-wedding photos and with any colour clothes you can find, from white, cream, blue, orange, pink.. and..
