Trip to China : Day 2 at Qing Dao (青島) - Part II


packaging the Bottle of Beer into boxes...


workers outside delivering the Beer..

this the place where we taste the Ale... (this place, factory of Qingdao, is extremely big...lots of building inside...but no worry the factory will provide u a local factory tour guide to guide u to the right place and explain everything to u) ^__^

just to take picture.. =P

some souvenir that u may keep for memories...

I'm not very sure should I call it Ale or not... This Jar of Beer is extremely fresh...
Just taken out from the factory and no gas yet...

my tour leader is serving us to taste the beer...

If u straightly drinks the beer u wont feel too much different but more smooths and fresh...
ONLY if u eat the PEANUTS in the packages holding in Mr. Kong's palm b4 u drinks, then u will be able to taste the beer which is in Extremely SWEET (of cos not sweet as candy T.T)...
I'm believe that u will be missing it (taste) for a very long time... (I'm not bluffing) ^__^

could u see how clear the beer is? No Gas...or should I say Soda?
(Sorry for my bad english..hope u able to understand what Im saying... ^o^)

Different kind of Qingdao Beer...
I saw Stout too... What a surprise.... I had never seen it in Kuching (my hometown in Sarawak, Malaysia)...
in Bottles...

in Tins/Cans...

see that.... so much foam within... this beer just out from factory not more than 24 hours...
even housefly like it too...LOLLLL

U may bought these in Box as a souvenir or gift...
They come with 2 Free Cups for Beer Drinking.. ^__^


away from factory now...

____________________________________________________________________________________

Took these pic when I'm in the very High Tower...
Its very cold up here due to very strong wind keep on blowing... =P

The weather is very damp with thick fog...
After taking the picture of the scenery, I was very disappointed as hardly see the clear picture...
But thanks to Mac Aperture 3, once I click on the Auto Enhance mode... I get the whole clear picture (as u may seen now)....
Im so happy that I made the right decision...(as I had been thinking long to decide whether buy it or not)...
Anyway, Mac save all my pictures... yippee.....(IT worth to invest...) ^___^










Sea Cucumber (just a SAMPLE, not real) and two life Abalone....
Each Abalone cost RMB100... including cooking... ^_^

visiting the old German Building (museum)...






see those 3 rectangle hole from the left of the wall?
It is to let the Owner to see who comes to visit him....then he decide whether to meet the visitor or not....
The visitors were all serve to sit under the staircase...(view had been block by tourist..-_-|||)...Sofa and Table where all place there...seems like a small guest room with no door....







Picture below is the Old German Building's window with very brilliant design...
Why ?
First, once the window is open, it won't simply fall down which it happen to hurt many ppl's finger when they place their hand under the window... (look at the curve at the side of the window)

Secondly, there's a lil tiny hole in the middle of "stair" of the window... the "stair" is to stop the rains drop flow into the room, the hole is to release the water (the rain water) to the outside of the room...

Here's the clear pic of the hole..and the "stair" (dividend by the gap...the one with the hole,which is the front before the gap is lower than the gap behind)...

This cupboard is used to store the Guns...
It is place in the master bedroom.... Also protect from children for cannot simple open it...
How?
It is specially design for the owner of house...
He need to straight his arms to turn/row and push the 2 column (at side of the cupboard) to open it... ^__^
